Whitehead, associate professor at the University of North Carolina, investigates the value of the "don't know" or middle of the road responses on surveys and research.  Groothuis concludes that certain surveys and research benefit from this "don't know" option, but the "researchers must use their judgment on how to interpret and use don't know responses."
