- 1Interviews are like verbal questionnaires carried out face to face.Types of Interviews:
- Structured (quantitative/Positivists).
- Semi ( both data's and no particular perspective).
- Unstructured (qualitative/ Interpretivists. - 2Advantages of Structured: - Highly reliable. - Interviewer can help to explain what the question is asking.Disadvantages of Structured:
- Low in validity as it only collects quantitative data, unable to understand how the person is actually feeling. - 3Advantages of Semi-Structured: - High in validity as it is collecting both types of data so the researcher is still able to gain in depth data.Disadvantages of Semi-Structured:
- Requires a lot of skill.
- Interviewer effect is more likely to occur.
- Not as reliable. - 4For example: Archer used semi structured in her study to explore the identities of Muslim boys. Topics included home, race, ethnic identity, racism and gender identity.Advantages of Unstructured:
- Respondents are able to open up more about their experiences.
- Provide valid data.
- The interviewer is able to probe to gain more understanding.
- Gives them time to develop answers. - 5Disadvantage of Unstructured: - Interviewer bias may affect the responses. - Harder to compare. - Social desirability is likely to occur. - Time consuming.For example:
Smiths study about family backgrounds of homeless young people produced in depth information because of rapport built within the interview. - 6Focus groups/ Group interviews: - A group interview can be wide ranging as with Frosh study of young masculinity. - A focus group is usually concerned with a specific topic.
