Evelyn conducted semi-structured interviews with 24 corporate interns to investigate their likelihood of complying with unethical requests from senior colleagues (such as falsifying expense reports or ignoring minor safety violations). She presented several hypothetical workplace scenarios and asked participants to rate their likelihood of complying on a scale of 1 to 10 (1 = definitely refuse, 10 = definitely comply). She then asked open-ended follow-up questions to understand the reasoning behind their decisions.
Explain one strength and one weakness of Evelyn using semi-structured interviews to investigate interns' likelihood of complying with unethical requests.
