Qualitative Interviewing: The Art of Hearing Data
Search in google:
The authors (professors emeriti of sociology and public administration at Northern Illinois U.) describe a method of qualitative research they call "responsive" or "depth" interviewing and defend the philosophy behind it. The basic concept of responsive interviewing is that the research selects interviewees for the expansiveness of their knowledge about the research problem, listens carefully to answers, and presenting additional questions based on the answers until the researcher truly understands the question from the interviewee's point of view. They address the standard research project questions, from the design of the project; through structuring the interview, preparing follow-up questions, and analyzing and coding data; to presenting the results.
