First, identify the neutral question and the leading question from the following:
"Don't you agree that part-time students who work full-time are more serious students?"
"Are Spanish courses better at night or during the day?"
Now,
type of question can be problematic and why.
What will be an ideal response?
Asking whether Spanish courses are better at night or during the day is an example of a neutral question. The
value of "good" or "bad" is up to the interviewee to assign when answering the question. There is no hint of
interviewer biases, preferences, or expectations. However, beginning a question with a phrase like "don't you
agree" is leading the interviewee to a speci?c answer related to agreement with the interviewer. The leading
question is problematic because the level of tension in the interview increases. Interviewees can become extremely
defensive when they feel forced to give responses that do not truly represent their views.
