Within 9 hours of President J. F. Kennedy's assassination, 114 interviews were completed in Denver, Colorado. The questionaires investigated the degree & variation of emotional response; the kinds of groups or individuals who were suspected of committing the assassination & who R's hoped had done it; the sources of information about the assassination; & the degree of belief in the first news heard.
