On this episode we talk about who we are talking to in our research studies. Are research participants somehow different from other people? Are “professional respondents” a real thing?

For this discussion I spoke to Dr. Art Markman from The University of Texas. Check out his website for links to his articles and books. His podcast that I mention is Two Guys on Your Head.

I also spoke with Dr. Jessica Broome of Jessica Broome Research, as well as Kerry Hecht of Echo Qualitative Project Support. Attend one of the many research conferences through the year and you’ll find these awesome women.

And, for your entertainment, if you haven’t seen this SNL skit yet… just watch.
