Rationale 2: A Q sort data collection strategy provides information on attitudes about ratings of statements and would not provide data about a process of evaluation.
Rationale 3: An interview is not the best way to collect data of a sensitive nature.
Rationale 4: Observation would not provide data/information about a process.
