Psychology is pretty popular right now. The Internet is bursting with all sorts of articles on the topic of how to improve your life if it has finally “turned” the wrong way. Someone is reading this, but someone is not. But that is not the point at all. If the authors of these wonderful works were invited to test their conclusions experimentally, they would surely refuse. What is this talking about? They are all afraid of the respondent! The meaning of the word we will analyze today and we hope that the fear of this term will become less.
Interactive tv
Television has long been interactive. We will not delve into the field of theory too much, but let's say that the viewer has become a full-fledged participant in the process, especially now when everyone is actively voting via SMS or the Internet. And then came a bright moment: celebrities fluttered and manically sought the approval of the masses.
An ordinary, humble man triumphs. But actually, of course not, because here the system is designed so that celebrities depend on the viewer, but the viewer depends on celebrities. After all, they provide him with leisure in the evenings. Therefore, quarreling is not beneficial to anyone.
Value
An eager reader will think: "What does the meaning of the word" respondent "mean?" Everything is pretty simple. Anyone who votes and participates in one way or another in the production process of a television product is the respondent.
And we can even prove it. How? Let us turn to the explanatory dictionary. Respondent is a person who answers the questionnaire or gives an interview. Well, yes, maybe we interpreted the concept too freely. But we can cite as an apology at least two programs that really value people's opinions, because the latter are directly involved in the process:
- "Who wants to become a millionaire?";
- One Hundred to One.
In the first, real people in the hall vote for answers in case of difficulty of the player. And in the second, respondents (the meaning of the word has already been clarified) is the basis of the broadcast, because journalists tirelessly interview passers-by on the streets.
And yes, if you think a little, it turns out that our apologies were hasty and superfluous, since almost any TV program uses voting, which means that anyone who wants to turns into a respondent. Of course, our era in this sense is unique. This has not happened yet, because there was no appropriate technology.
Communion and clause versus noun
We will leave the Russian synonym for the word “respondent” for dessert, and now let's talk about why they are undesirable. As the reader could see, the meaning of the word is decrypted quite long. It can be shorter, for example, using the sacrament.
By the way, A.P. Chekhov is automatically recalled, who terribly did not like whistling, hissing sounds and tried to use them as little as possible. This is because if you do not give a dictionary definition of "respondent", then it must be replaced by participles - "interviewee" or "interviewee." Do you like the first or second option?
We like the object of study as a substitute for them. Therefore, a noun is used much more often, even despite its foreign origin. Yes, someone will call it the influence of the trading era, but the noun is shorter, and it is more pleasant by ear. And now we are fully prepared for the final chord - synonyms for the word "respondent".
Replacements
We hope the reader already understands that with analogues in this sense it is tight. But you might think. So the list is as follows:
- human;
- test subject;
- viewer;
- participant.
If the reader thinks the list is short, then he can already rack his brains on his own by choosing synonyms (at least Russian, at least foreign) for the words from the list. For our part, we say that we did everything we could. We thought over all possible facets of the meaning of the selected nouns. Yes, the work was titanic, but we stood it, stood it, and all this in order for the reader to look and immediately begin to use them for their own purposes. We remind you that in the area of our attention was the meaning of the word "respondent".
