- It seems as though there is some reluctance on your part to trust the
- researchers interpretations. You therefore recommend that the *interviewee*
- be given the opportunity to *validate* the interpretation. But what if
- one had interviewed some convicted sexual molestors in order to find out
- how they viewed their behavior and to what extent they could identify the
- feelings of the victims. Upon analysis of the responses the researcher
- *found* that the molestors (a) attributed most of the causes to the situation
- or the victim and that (b) they couldn't assume the perspective of the
- victim. How would the research benefit from the interviewee's evaluation
- of the researcher's interpretation?
