Survey interviews are completely different from other interviews.  Some survey interviews are not done face to face like others.  Instead, you could recieve them in the mail, online or through e-mail, and do those on your own time.  No one is sitting there while you complete it to make you nervous or uncomfortable.  Survey interviews can be very helpful in doing research on certain groups or populations.  They are an easy way to get a lot of information quickly.  Compared to more formal interviews, surveys could also be harder to get participants or interviewees to answer them.  Because of this, you need to try and survey a lot of people to be sure you get the information and research you need.  I think survey interviews have both many positive and negative aspects.
