The self-disclosure technique for ethnographic elicitation

Madeleine Mathiot

pp. 339-345

Abstract

This technique is a rich tool for discovering the meanings people attribute to the world around them. It stems from a set of controversial beliefs regarding the nature of "reality-as-experienced-by-man." Before describing the technique in some detail I will briefly specify these beliefs since they motivate every one of its steps as implemented so far as well as its potential extensions.
