Vraagreactie

Vraagreactie is a Dutch term that combines vraag (question) and reactie (reaction/response) to denote the response given to a question. It refers to the answer or explanation provided in reply to a prompt or inquiry, and can include reasoning, justification, or follow-up questions.

The term is used in several contexts, including education, research, media, and customer communication. In a classroom, a student’s vraagreactie is the answer submitted to a teacher’s question. In surveys and interviews, it describes the respondent’s reply to a specific item, sometimes accompanied by context or rationale.

Vraagreactie can be distinguished from related terms. An antwoord is the direct answer to a question, while een reactie can be a broader response to a statement or situation. A vraagreactie specifically emphasizes the response to a question and may include explanatory elements or subsequent clarification.

Examples of usage include: “De docent vroeg om een korte vraagreactie op de stelling.” “Het onderzoeksbureau verzamelde vraagreacties van deelnemers om trends te analyseren.” In many cases, writers may simply use “antwoord op de vraag” or “reactie op de vraag,” but vraagreactie is a concise way to describe the Q&A interaction.
