Description
During interviews and conversations in health care environments, respondents often convey information in a humorous fashion, self-disclose something very personal, or tell detailed stories containing emotional content that is difficult to decipher and interpret. Words and gestures are composed of ambiguous signals and require interpretation (Sillars, Roberts, Leonard, & Dun, 2000). The humorous delivery of these signals often disguises their importance. Because conversations such as these tend to occur rapidly, and the interviewer may be distracted by the humor, it is easy for the uninformed interviewer to miss information cues about problems or concerns that should be followed up with additional questions or probes. Our previous work with long-term family caregivers demonstrated the importance of conversational cues, the reliance on humor to convey sensitive information, and the ways in which the interviewer can follow up, with appropriate probes and nonverbal encouragement, to gain necessary insight into the caregiver situation. This article offers specific suggestions for achieving more productive and satisfying interviews with family caregivers who rely on humor to help them tell their stories.
