By presuming a role—such as “responsible leader” or “patient person”—altercasting encourages the target to conform to that identity, often aligning their behavior with the expectations associated with the role. The power of this tactic lies in its subtlety; once a role is assigned, it becomes socially...

Automatic processing refers to the cognitive operations that occur without conscious intent or awareness, playing a fundamental role in shaping social cognition and behavior. These processes enable individuals to navigate complex social environments efficiently by relying on mental shortcuts and pre-existing knowledge structures known as schemas. One of the most influential mechanisms underlying automatic processing is priming, which subtly activates mental representations through exposure to...

Area of Science:

Computer Science
Psychology
Internet Research

Background:

Automated interviewing offers efficiency and scalability for data collection.
Traditional online surveys lack dynamic interaction and real-time data validation.
Instant messaging platforms present an underutilized channel for structured research.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce and evaluate a novel Dynamic Interviewing Program (DIP) for automated online interviews.
To assess the feasibility of conducting parallel, dynamic interviews using the ICQ instant messaging service.
To explore the potential of internet-based automatic interviewing for data quality and new research perspectives.

Main Methods:

Development of the Dynamic Interviewing Program (DIP) for ICQ.
Implementation of parallel structured interviews with multiple users.
Incorporation of dynamic, branched testing logic for adaptive questioning.
Utilizing an online ICQ address book for demographic data validation.

Main Results:

DIP successfully conducted parallel, automated interviews via ICQ.
The dynamic interviewing feature allowed for adaptive questioning based on user responses.
Demographic data validation through the ICQ address book was feasible.
Initial empirical study indicates positive potential for internet-based automatic interviewing.

Conclusions:

The Dynamic Interviewing Program (DIP) is a viable tool for scalable, automated online research.
Internet-based automatic interviewing, particularly with dynamic features, opens new avenues for data collection and analysis.
Further research is warranted to explore the full capabilities and applications of DIP.
