Anonymous or confidential? One of the most important nongovernment surveys in the United States is the General Social Survey (see Example 7 in Chapter 1). The GSS regularly monitors public opinion on a wide variety of political and social issues. Interviews are conducted in person in the subject’s home. Are a subject’s responses to GSS questions anonymous, confidential, or both? Explain your answer. You may wish to visit the GSS Web site at www.norc.org/projects/General+Social+Survey.htm.
