Tipologia delle fonti • “cooperative and friendly” – scarsa resistenza, risponde liberamente; l’interrogante rischia di allentare il controllo; • “neutral and nonpartisan” – bassa collaborazione, si limita a rispondere alle domande; l’interrogante deve insistere sugli obiettivi informativi; • “hostile and antagonistic” - rifiuta di rispondere e sfida l’interrogante che deve avere self-control, pazienza e tatto (timely)
