How to do a research interview

After a short introduction looking at Steinar Kvale's 10 criteria of a good interviewer, this video examines two interviews: one a short and rather poor attempt, the other a longer and much improved version. It is designed to help anyone learning how to undertake research interviews in the social sciences.
In addition to the references mentioned in the video you might be interested in this text by colleagues of mine: King, N., & Horrocks, C. (2010). Interviews in Qualitative Research. London: Sage.

    let me start off by saying i'm a college freshman taking intro to sociology 101. and i have learned SO MUCH MORE about this topic by watching your videos than i have learned in lecture. i think i have 5 pages worth of notes from 20 minutes of video than 3 hours of classroom time. you've literally saved me from a Failed assignment. Thank you truly!

    MJ, you're right, the interviewer does seem to overdo it a bit. However, it is a matter of judgement on the part of the interviewer just how much she/he has to reassure the interviewee and check that everything is understood and that the interviewee feels fine. Perhaps, it was the interviewer's judgment that this interviewee lacked confidence and needed both reassurance and time and opportunity to take in the conditions of the interview. In the end it didn't seem to harm the rapport.

    You're right, the interviewee might not remember all three questions, although sometimes that's just a way of raising a topic and the respondent's answer might actually address the issue adequately. In this type of interview, its up to the interviewer to make sure that all the questions she wants answered are addressed. If the interviewer forgets to answer one of the questions and it's important to get an answer, then the interviewer simply needs to repeat the question.

  • @nessie003
    @nessie00311 жыл бұрын

    There is just a small question I'd like to ask: in the second interview, the interviewer wanted to get more information about the interviewee's driving test, and she raised 3 questions in a row (about the interviewee's feeling, some events in the test, story of the test from beginning through to the end); I wonder if it is recommended to raise so many questions at a time rather than asking one by one because the interviewee may not remember to answer all of them.

    I picked up on this too. I would have thought the story of the test would have covered the events in the test and her feelings. She would have explained how happy she was feeling at passing her test.

    On the second interview, while she does a great job of introducing herself and what she's doing, she almost seems subservient, by continually asking "Is that okay?" She's already laid down the ground rules of if anything is not okay, or the question is uncomfortable, the option to pull out is there. The interviewer nearly appears desperate.

    A good interview is not just the knowledge and good commutation . If a video interview has poor quality sound it makes it hard for the viewer to get anything from the presentation.

    Far too much non-neutral filler in interview 2. Neutrality in general is shaky at best as she informs respondent of the greatness and correctness of her responses with so many "greats" and "rights". Also, never correct a respondent, simply redirect them so as to maintain rapport. Of the test, she should ask each question part separately as respondents typically have difficulty with anything more than two part questions. With that, my free consultation is over as both interview 1 and 2 are throw aways due to significant bias.

    I agree. While the interview n. 1 is clearly a total "fail", in the interview n. 2 the interviewer seems quite servile by looping "great!" and "really great". In some parts, the interviewer showed a useless "fake" happiness that could make the interviewee uncomfortable.
