The Interview

Types of interviews  Structured interview  detailed interview guide  easier to analyze, code, and compare data  too rigid for some purposes  Semi-structured interview  researcher not testing specific hypothesis, but exploring key themes, issues, and questions  interview guide can still be used (loosely)  Unstructured interview  no interview guide, very casual  useful when little or no knowledge exists on a topic  Non-directive interview  no topic, no planned questions, but interviewer has objectives  Interviewer’s goal is to understand way interviewee wants to express  psychotherapy

Interview as research  Ethnography  Anthropology  Qualitative research  Oral history  Advantages and disadvantages  Personal insights and recollections, topics explored in depth, rich data  Interviewer error or bias, time consuming, costly

Conducting your interview pt. 1  Choose someone whose story you’re interested in  Arrange for interview in quiet, semi-private location  Collect consent  Do some research beforehand  Social, political, etc. circumstances of their migration? Did these factors affect them?  Use a loose interview guide, and a script for beginning and end

Conducting your interview pt. 2  Tape record  Ask open-ended questions  Start with basic, easy questions, then move to deeper questions  “Tell me about…” is a good sentence starter

Transcribing your interview  Editing  The edited transcript should reflect the text of the interview as clearly as possible  Does not need to be a complete transcription  Undecipherable words  Brackets  Not necessary to correct non-standard grammar- but can leave out false starts, stumbles, etc.
