New in Public Opinion Quarterly: Live video can change how people feel about answering sensitive questions—but not in the same way for everyone. Example: For some, seeing and being seen can make them MORE at ease, for others LESS at ease.
Participants’ Reported Discomfort with Live Video as a Mode for Answering a Sensitive Survey Question
Abstract. This study uses qualitative thematic analysis to explore a dataset of open-ended textual responses from 369 online panelists explaining why they
