KIN 3982 Lecture Notes - Lecture 11: Unstructured Interview, Focus Group, Grounded Theory
Document Summary
Interview protocol: written directions for conducting the interview, such as script, question prompts, or any other notes to help the interview maintain consistency where needed. Longitudinal research: people are interviewed repeatedly in intervals that may be weeks, months, years, or decades apart: structured interviews are more beneficial, as they ensure consistency and the ability to compare results over time. Unstructured interview: exploratory research when flexibility is needed to allow interviewees to bring up information that matters most to them. Self-disclosure: examination of the research problem in relation to an interviewers own background and attitudes before conducting the interviews.
