Abstract
This is a report on some interviewing techniques which have proven useful in obtaining data for use in a study of the cognitive processes of elites involved in national security policy planning in Sweden1. It is presented here as an excursis in data-collection methodology with the double aim of discussing the particular problems of acquiring systematic data on the cognitive systems or models of a relatively large population of decision-makers on the level of bureaucratic-incremental policy planning—as opposed to top level crisis decision-making—and of suggesting some ways these problems may be solved.
