Abstract

Remote interviewing has become even more common since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and allows greater accessibility for many interview participants regardless of pandemic circumstances. This accessibility is especially important in the context of my research with autistic individuals. However, it may also expose interview studies to the same concerns about fraudulent responses that survey studies face. While advice for survey research often suggests requiring interviews as a way to discourage fraudulent responses, I had participants I later concluded were misrepresenting their eligibility actually complete audio interviews. In this note, I describe my experience with this potential scam, the solutions I rejected, and the solutions I ultimately implemented to add additional screening questions related to where the participant lived and how they heard about the study. In line with my interpretivist and constructivist approach to autism studies, I focus on strategies for identifying who is “really eligible” without gatekeeping who is “really autistic.” I argue that many of the suggestions for identifying fraudulent participants may inappropriately exclude autistic or neurodivergent individuals, and describe a framework for identifying locally relevant and culturally appropriate screening questions that do not overly burden or scrutinize participants.
远程面试、无障碍环境和骗局:关于招聘传单欺诈回复案例的说明
自 COVID-19 大流行开始以来,远程访谈变得更加普遍,无论大流行情况如何,许多访谈参与者都能更方便地进行访谈。就我对自闭症患者的研究而言,这种便利性尤为重要。不过,这也可能使访谈研究面临与调查研究同样的欺诈性回答问题。虽然调查研究的建议通常建议要求进行访谈以阻止虚假回答,但我曾让后来被我断定为虚报资格的参与者实际完成了音频访谈。在这篇笔记中,我描述了我在这一潜在骗局中的经历、我拒绝的解决方案,以及我最终实施的解决方案,即增加与参与者居住地和如何得知研究相关的额外筛选问题。根据我在自闭症研究中采用的解释主义和建构主义方法,我将重点放在识别哪些人 "真正符合条件",而不对哪些人 "真正患有自闭症 "进行把关的策略上。我认为,许多关于识别欺诈性参与者的建议可能会不适当地将自闭症患者或神经变异者排除在外,我还描述了一个框架,用于识别与当地相关且与文化相适应的筛选问题,这些问题不会对参与者造成过重的负担或审查。

期刊介绍: Qualitative Research is a fully peer reviewed international journal that publishes original research and review articles on the methodological diversity and multi-disciplinary focus of qualitative research within the social sciences. Research based on qualitative methods, and methodological commentary on such research, have expanded exponentially in the past decades. This is the case across a number of disciplines including sociology, social anthropology, health and nursing, education, cultural studies, human geography, social and discursive psychology, and discourse studies.
