Abstract

In this qualitative study, conducted with a method derived from conversation analysis, sequences of talk in vocational test interpretation interviews were investigated. Data consisted of tape recordings and verbatim transcripts of 5 interviews. The core activity of all the interviews consisted of the counselor's and the client's use of a sequence of conversational turns, called adjacency pairs, with which the participants worked to establish both the credibility of the test score report and its personal relevance for the client. By their skillful management of turn taking in the interviews using the adjacency pair, counselors were observed to exert influence not only on the content of the client's next turn but also on the evolving context of the entire interview.
