Repliek I

Samenvatting

The author's reply to a critique of his book, Het Koninklijk Instituut voor de Marine (The Royal Naval Institute, no publisher, 1963), a study which combined participant observation (Lammers was trained at the Institute as a naval reserve officer) and a survey. Kruijer's main objection was that Lammers overestimated the results of his survey at the expense of his participant observation. It is objected that: (1) the result of the comparison depends on the definition of the concept of 'hyp,' and (2) the general 'equality' of participant observation (ie with surveys) is not at issue in this case.
