Abstract

Bobby Burns' wish for the gift of seeing ourselves as others see us, so strikingly exemplified in current image research, is fulfilled here (at least in part) by an anthropologist who will leave for Borneo a few months after this article appears. His questioning of the questionnaire springs from a general interest in the accuracy of the description of human behavior in social research, an interest many readers share whether or not they agree with his particular description of survey behavior. The author is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Sacramento State College. He has been awarded a research grant by the National Science Foundation for the first stage of a study of the socialization process of the Dusun in British North Borneo following a similar study he made of the Papago in southwestern Arizona.
