Interviewers sequenced ethnic questions late to let deep-seated attitudes surface openly.
Evidence
This was intended to create the atmosphere of a `pleasant though intensive interview’, 79 which would make it easy for the interviewee to speak openly about his experiences during the war and his current difficulties in adjusting. When the talk turned, first indirectly and then directly, to ethnic topics late in the interview, he would then be able to express his deep-seated attitudes. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 450
