Samenvatting
A method is proposed that uses the agreement-index D2 for the transfer of response categories as developed by several raters on the basis of answers given to open-ended questions to one set of categories. The method is especially useful in pilot studies that attempt to identify a set of response categories for questions to be added to the investigation that will follow. 2 Tables, 1 Figure, 7 References.
