INTERVIEW TYPES OF INTERVIEW THEIR STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES

 

INTERVIEW

 Discussion that's directed in which a clinician, employer, experimenter or (the canvasser) intends to evoke specific information from an individual for exploration and the purposes of decided already.

 INTERVIEW" Interview is a set of questions of unshaped, varying material introduced by the Pollee

 TYPES OF INTERVIEWS

 Structured Interview

 This is also known as a formal interview (like a job interview).

 The questions are asked in a set/ standardized order and the canvasser won't diverge from the interview schedule or inquiry beyond the answers entered ( so they aren't flexible).

 These are grounded on structured, close concluded questions.

 

 Strengths

 1. Structured interviews are easy to replicate as a fixed set of unrestricted questions are used, which are easy to quantify – this means it's easy to test trust ability \Validity.

 2. Structured interviews are fairly quick to conduct which means that numerous interviews can take place within a short quantum of time. This means a large sample can be attained performing in the findings being representative and having the capability to be generalized to a large population.

 Limitations

 1. Structure interviews aren't flexible. This means new questions cannot be asked improvisational( i.e. during the interview) as an interview schedule must be followed.

 2. The answers from structured interviews warrant detail as only unrestricted questions are asked which generates quantitative data. This means a exploration will not know why a person behaves in a certain way.

 

 

 Unstructured Interview

 These are occasionally appertained to as ‘discovery interviews’ & are more like a ‘guided conservation’ than a strict structured interview. They're occasionally called informal interviews.

 An interview schedule might not be used, and indeed if one is used, they will be open concluded questions that can be asked in any order. Some questions might be added missed as the Interview progresses.

 Strengths

 1. Unshaped interviews are more flexible as questions can be acclimated and changed depending on the repliers’ answers. The interview can diverge from the interview schedule.

 2. Unshaped interviews induce qualitative data through the use of open questions. This allows the replier to talk in some depth, choosing their own words. This helps the experimenter develop a real sense of a person’s understanding of a situation.

  Limitations

 1. It can be time wasting to conduct an unshaped interview and dissect the qualitative data.

 2. Employing and training canvassers is precious, and not as cheap as collecting data by questioning. For illustration, certain chops may be demanded by the canvasser. These include the capability to establish fellowship & knowing when to probe.

 

 Group Interview

 This refers to interviews where a dozen or so repliers are canvassed together – also known as a ‘focus group ’. This part of the canvasser is to make sure the group interact with each other and don't drift off content.

 An experimenter must be largely professed to conduct a group interview. For illustration, certain chops may be demanded by the canvasser including the capability to establish fellowship and knowing when to probe.

 Strengths

 1. Group interviews induce qualitative data through the use of open questions. This allows the repliers to talk in some depth, choosing their own words. This helps the experimenter develop a real sense of a person’s understanding of a situation.

 2. There validity is increased because some persons who are being interviewed  may feel more comfortable being with others as they're used to talking in groups in real life( i.e. it's more natural).

 Limitations

 1. The experimenter must insure that they keep all the pollsters details nonpublic and admire their sequestration. This is delicate when using a group interview. For illustration, the experimenter cannot guarantee that the other people in the group will keep information private.

 2. Trust ability of Group interviews is less as they use open questions and may diverge from the interview schedule making them delicate to repeat.

 2. Validity of Group interviews may occasionally warrant as people may lie to impress the other group members. They may and give false answers.

 

 The Canvasser Effect

 Because an interview is a social commerce the appearance or gender

 Of the canvasser may impact the answers of the replier. This is a problem as it can poison the results of the study and make them invalid.

 For illustration, the gender, race, body language, age, and social status of the canvasser can all produce a canvasser effect.

 For illustration, if an experimenter was probing liberality among males, would a womanish interview be more preferable than a joker? It's possible that if a womanish canvasser was used manly persons may lie ( i.e. they may pretend they're generous) to impress the canvasser , therefore creating an canvasser effect.
