On Qualitative Research… Day 1
(Part III) Monday 11 May 2020 Dr Christos Anagnostopoulos
Interviewing (for research) Dr Christos Anagnostopoulos ‘Interviewing is often associated with the collection of qualitative data, that is, the ‘why’ and ‘how’ of a phenomenon, from the respondent’s perspective.’ (Gratton & Jones, 2010: 155) Traditionally not concerned with generalizing the findings.
• Gives respondents more freedom to express themselves. • It’s about gaining rich and thick data from a smaller sample or selection. • An opportunity to gain trust and create a rapport with the interviewee. • Allows for the unexpected. • Acknowledges body language, tone, facial expressions, emphasis on points made, irony etc. Interviewing (for research) Dr Christos Anagnostopoulos • The Structured Interview; •
•
Can lack focus and consequently be rather wasteful in terms of acquiring useable data. Used mostly in ethnographic research but in terms of other research approaches: ‘Whatever its merits for therapy, a genuinely nondirective interviewing approach simply is not appropriate for research. Far from putting the informants at their ease, it actually produces anxieties.’ (White, 1984:97)
Dr Christos Anagnostopoulos • The Focus Group ‘In this case the interviewer becomes a facilitator of a discussion rather than an interviewer as such.’ (Veal, 2006: 201) The researcher will encourage interaction between the subjects but must manage the group and discussion attentively; ensuring balance and equality.
Dr Christos Anagnostopoulos • Create an interview schedule and/or a check list. • Always pilot an interview. • No leading questions • Appropriate venue/environment? • How do you wish to be perceived by the subject? • Be aware of your role in the research • NOTE: The manner in which the data is filtered through the researcher is dependent upon their gender, age and specific biographies. Preparing the Interview. Dr Christos Anagnostopoulos • • Verbal encouragement • Reflection • Probe
• Back tracking • New topic • Experience/behaviour • Knowledge • Opinion/value • Feeling
Different Types of Questioning (see Long, 2007) Dr Christos Anagnostopoulos
• Know your schedule/checklist – and technology too! • Establish rapport – encourage but don’t patronise. • Tune into their language – but phrase clearly. • Don’t be judgemental • Listen attentively • Read between the lines – but always check. • Probe and explore • Recall and relate questions • Allow space to answer • Don’t ramble – guide don’t lead. Good Practice (Research Interviewing) Dr Christos Anagnostopoulos • Always an advantage to either tape or video interviews – but you will need to ask permission. • Transcriptions • In addition always write down notes too.
