The Institute’s group technique captures opinions in the moment of formation, not after correction.

Evidence

The undertaking by the Institute of Social Research described in the following report is an experimental contribution to this effort … It has long since become routine to apply depth psychology in interviews, and to use projective tests, detailed case studies and other techniques to correct and supplement the usual questionnaire methods. The group technique used by our Institute, to be described here, differs from all of these undertakings principally in that it is not satisfied with adding corrections at a later stage, but already begins at an early stage, while opinions are being ascertained in statu nascendi. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 2023 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
