Critics maintained that there were philosophical flaws inherent in survey practice which made it unacceptable as valid method; sociology students were taught that surveys are ‘positivist’. In The Survey Method, first published in 1982, Catherine Marsh examines such claims and shows that much of this criticism was ill-founded.
