Rationale 1: Less bias would be indicated by the content of a data collection instrument, not the type of instrument. Interviews are more time-consuming to conduct than a questionnaire; a questionnaire may be more time-consuming to construct than an interview. Response rate for an interview is usually higher than the return rate for questionnaires.
Rationale 2: In-depth responses from each subject are one major advantage of an interview.
Rationale 3: Interviews are more time-consuming to conduct than a questionnaire; a questionnaire may be more time-consuming to construct than an interview.
Rationale 4: Response rate for an interview is usually higher than the return rate for questionnaires.
