Introduction

This video provides a comprehensive guide to conducting in-depth interviews as a qualitative research method. It covers the purpose, conditions, techniques, and reporting of such interviews, emphasizing non-directiveness and the art of not rushing to conclusions.

Key Takeaways

• Purpose of In-depth Interviews: To access the terms and meanings that individuals or social groups attribute to their experiences, complementing participant observation.
• Conditions for Effective Interviews: Depth (prolonged listening and recording) and non-directiveness (using open-ended questions to allow interviewees to elaborate freely).
• Non-Directiveness Techniques: Encouraging free association, maintaining "floating attention" (avoiding confirmation bias), and deferred categorization (allowing categories to emerge from the interview).
• Types of Interview Questions: Grand tour questions (initial broad questions), specific questions (focused on recent events or familiar contexts), guided questions (used during participant observation), and motivational questions (exploring purposes and objectives).
• Structural and Contrastive Questions: Structural questions explore central elements or categories of the research topic, while contrastive questions differentiate categories or elements from one another.
• Report Writing: Multiple interviews are crucial for comparison. The report should list analytical categories (both pre-defined and emergent), analyze similarities and differences in discourse, include supporting quotes, and offer interpretive analysis informed by theory and fieldwork findings.
