Probe

English Other Other
The following is from a questionnaire survey:

Would you please tell me a little more about the institution you are working in?
Probe:
Type of hospital and hospital"" owner / payer
Probe:
Size (perceived as small / medium / big, approx. number of beds)
Regional income structure and environment (urban or rural, importance in the town/region etc.)

What does this "Probe" mean?
Thank you in advance.
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Yvonne Gallagher

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

probing questions, a research technique

https://www.macromill.com/research-words プロービングとは、主に定性調査において、あいまいな回答、不完全な回答の補完・深堀をすることである。例えば、「あまり購入したいと思わない」といった回答に対して、「なぜそのようにお考えになったのですか?」と、さらにその理由を深く聞くことがプロービングの1つ。

理由を聞くこと以外にも、回答の意味を補完することや別の条件でも同じ意見か確認することなど様々なプロービングのやり方がある。

Besides asking the reason, there are various ways of probing, such as supplementing the meaning of the answer and confirming whether the opinion is the same under different conditions.

Probing is to supplement and deepen ambiguous or incomplete answers, mainly in qualitative research.

プロービングとは、調査の対象となるものを綿密に調べたり、厳密に調査したりする活動です。
Probing in a survey is a technique used where the interview is administered by a interviewer (i.e., face-to-face or by phone) and the interviewer prompts the respondent for more information to a question. For example, the question may ask "Why did you buy this product?" and, once the respondent has given an initial answer, the interviewer may probe for more information by asking "Are there any other reasons" a few times.
