Questions and interesting points:

– How does someone know if the person conducting the study (or interviewing) is psychologically appropriate for the task?

– There are non-trivial elements in this training that are more important than one would expect: for example the fact that one needs to make sure the “voluntariness” element is present at all times.

– Does anyone check throughout the research that what was promised is getting done, and that nothing is shady?

How can this help my research:

– I would try to find neighborhoods in which Chinese immigrants aren’t permanent residents and/or are part of older generations (perhaps make comparison with residents and/or younger generations?).

– I’d try to find younger generation individuals willing to introduce us to their elder family members
