Asking A Sincere Question

Decent Essays
Sincere questions: are questions that one person genuinely asks another person for a honest/informative response in return. Asking a sincere question can also lead to an emotional conversation if the person is being bothered or concerned over something. A time with sincere questioning that I have experienced was last quarter when I had to do an interview for my sociology class. The interview was meant to be taken seriously so that we could find out how a certain experience helped shape the interviewees life. The topic of the interview was LGBTQ+ in which I had interviewed a transgender male. The person I interviewed had been very nervous so we started out with mindless questions and eased our way onto the more sincere questions as time

    There is a distinct difference between an interrogation and a set of interview questions. Sometimes, they are used interchangeably, but there is a specific feature distinguishing one from the other. Whether it is accusatory or not is what differentiates an interrogation from a set of interview questions. An interview is non-accusatory or, in other words, it does not blame or put guilt on the subject of the questions (Inbau, Reid, Buckley, & Jayne, 2013). Besides just being non-accusatory, an interview is used merely to gather information in any environment, and it is normally unstructured (Inbau, Reid, Buckley, & Jayne, 2013).…
