An omnidirectional microphone is one that is designed to be equally sensitive to sounds coming from all directions. The pickup pattern of an "omni" mike is thus described as circular. Actually, it's spherical. These mikes work well for picking up a single sound sporce in another wise quiet environment, or for picking the total sound from several sources, if there is no need to have separate control over the volume of any individual source. ... omnidirectional microphones are best used when it's desirable to pick up all the sounds in a given environment. 3, record 2, English, - omni%2Ddirectional%20microphone

C'est Carl Rogers en 1942 qui développe aux États-Unis cette technique d'investigation scientifique qui tourne principalement autour de la notion «d'empathie». L'attitude non-directive se manifeste principalement à travers l'ensemble des conduites de l'interviewer qui visent à obtenir la production par l'interviewé d'un discours continu et structuré autour d'un problème et de son itinéraire, sans que ses dires puissent être vérifiés ou véritables (ou remis en doute) par l'enquêteur. 2, record 4, French, - entretien%20non%20directif
