Answer to Question 1

A personal interview is a form of direct communication in which an interviewer asks respondents questions face-to-face. It offers many unique advantages:
(1) Opportunity for feedback
(2) Opportunity to follow up by probing
(3) Can be longer than other forms of surveys
(4) Item nonresponse is low
(5) Can use props and visual aids
(6) High participation rate

(2) Interviewer may influence respondents' answers
(3) Expensive
