Planning Data Collection:
Interview

1
 FOREWORD
In research, interview is a data gathering technique that makes you verbally ask the
subjects or respondents questions to give answers to what your research study is trying to
look for. Done mostly in qualitative research studies, interview aims at knowing what the
respondents think and feel about the topic of your research.
Traditionally viewed, this data gathering technique occurs between you, the
researcher, and your respondents in a face-to-face situation. In this case, you speak directly
with your respondent, individually or collectively. On the other hand, by using electronic and
technological communication devices like the internet, mobile phones, e-mail, etc., interview
can be considered as a modern tool of research. All in all, be it a traditional or modern type of
interview, “it is a conversation with a purpose” that gives direction to the question-answer
activity between the interviewer and the interviewee [ CITATION Bar162 \l 13321 ].
This learning material adds to your wealth of knowledge in planning data collection
through interviews which are particularly useful for getting the story behind a participant’s
experiences, pursuing in-depth information around the topic, and making a follow-up to
certain respondents to questionnaires, e.g., to further investigate their responses
(McNamara,1999).
Furthermore, this SLK also aims in providing you an in-depth understanding
on the types of interviews, approaches, steps in conducting the interview, the purpose and
types of questionnaires, and the advantages and disadvantages of a questionnaire.

WHAT I NEED TO
LEARN?

What is an Interview?
An interview is a conversation for gathering information. A research interview
involves an interviewer, who coordinates the process of the conversation and asks questions,
and an interviewee, who responds to those questions. Interviews can be conducted face-to-
face or over the telephone. The internet is also emerging as a tool for interviewing.

What are the types of Interview?

1. Structured Interview
This is an interview that requires the use of an interview schedule or a list of
questions answerable with one and only item from a set of alternative responses.
Choosing one answer from the given set of answers, the respondents are barred from
giving answers that reflect their own thinking or emotions about the topic. You, the
researcher, are completely pegged at the interview schedule or prepared list of questions.

Example:

Close-ended:
Do you enjoy using our product?
1. Yes
2. No
3. I don't Know

2. Unstructured Interviews
In this type of interview, the respondents answer the questions based on what they
personally think and feel about it. There are no suggested answers. They purely depend
on the respondents’ decision-making skills, giving them opportunity to think critically
about the question.
Example:
Open-ended:

4
 What problems did the participant face growing up in the community?
3. Semi-Structured Interviews

The characteristics of the first two types are found in the third type of interview.
Here, you prepare a schedule or a list of questions that is accompanied by a list of
expressions from where the respondents can pick out the correct answer. However, after
choosing one from the suggested answers, the respondents answer another set of
questions to make them explain the reasons behind their choices. Allowing freedom for
you to change the questions and for the respondents to think of their own answers, this
semi-structured interview is a flexible and an organized type of interview.

Both Close-ended and Open-ended:

Has your family member/s been ill with cough within the past two
weeks?
(Yes) _____ (No) _____
(If the answer is yes):
Did you visit anyone for advice or treatment?
Did you give any medicine?

Approaches of Interview
1. Individual Interview

Only one respondent is interviewed here. The reason behind this one-on-one
interview is the lack of trust the interviewees have among themselves. One example
of this is the refusal of one interviewee to let other interviewees get a notion or hear
his or her responses to the questions. Hence, he or she prefers to have an individual
interview separate from the rest. This is a time-consuming type of interview because
you have to interview a group of interviewees one by one.

2. Group Interview
In this interview approach, you ask the question not to one person, but to a
group of people at the same time. The group members take turns in answering the
question. This approach is often used in the field of business, specifically in
marketing research. Researchers in this field, whose primary aim in adhering to this
interview approach is to know people’s food preferences and consumer opinions; they
also call this focus group interview. The chances of having some respondents getting
influenced by the other group members are one downside of this interview approach.

3. Mediated Interview

5
 No face-to-face interview is true for this interview approach because this takes
place through electronic communication devices such as telephones, mobile phones,
email, among others. Though mediated interview disregards non-verbal
communication (e.g., bodily movements, gestures, facial expressions, feelings, eye
contact, etc.), many, nonetheless, consider this better because of the big number of
respondents it is capable of reaching despite the cost, the distance, the human
disabilities affecting the interview.

It is a synchronous mediated interview if you talk with the subjects through

the phone, mobile phone, or online chat and also find to see each other. It is
asynchronous is only two persons are interviewed at a different time through the
Internet, email, Facebook, Twitter, and other social network media.

Steps in Conducting an Interview

Step 1: Getting To Know Each Other

The interview starts from the time you, the interviewer, and your
respondents see each other at the place of interview, that-is, is this is a
traditional interview. Naturally, seeing each other for the first time, your
tendency would be to talk with other to establish friendship and a relaxed mood
for both of you. Although, in some cases, the place is your respondent’s
residence, you have to show signs of appreciation and respect for the chosen
venue of the interview. Your warm acknowledgment for each other must lead
you to discussing several aspects of the interview such as where you have to do
it, how comfortable both of you should be, and how long should the question-
and-answer activity be.

Example: (Interview Schedule for a Classmate)

Interview Schedule for Classmate

I. Opening

A. (Establish Rapport) [shake hands] My name is ______________ and as a

member of the same English class, Rico thought it would be a good idea to
interview you, so that I can better inform the rest of the class about you.

B. (Purpose) I would like to ask you some questions about your background,
your education, some experiences you have had, and some of your hobbies
and interests in order to learn more about you and share this information
with our class.

6
 C. (Motivation) I hope to use this information to help the class become more
comfortable speaking to and with you by knowing you better.

D. (Time Line) The interview should take about 10 minutes. Are you
available to respond to some questions at this time?

(Transition: Let me begin by asking you some questions about where you live
and your family)

Step 2: Having an Idea of the Research

The second step requires you to tell the respondents about the nature of
the interview – its purpose, importance, scope, and so on. Telling them of these
salient features of the activity enables them to anticipate not only the kind of
questions they will get to face, but also the appropriate answers they will give.
Things pertaining to the confidential treatment of responses are also tackled in
this second step of interview. It is also in this period when you have to stress the
idea to the respondents that the interview is for you to know and hear their own
views and to let them express their own understanding of the topic of the
question in their own words.

Step 3: Starting the Interview

You open this step with a question to encourage the respondent to talk
about himself or herself, including his or her age, family, current activities, and
other things you think appear special or interesting to him or her. Following
these self-introduction questions are questions on the subject’s thoughts,
attitudes, or performance of his or her job or any current work assignment. The
respondent’s answers do not only help you get some clues on his or her ways or
techniques of responding to interview questions, but also give you hints on the
right ways to ask your subjects the questions that will affect the right data for
your research.

Example: (Interview Schedule for a Classmate)

IIBody
A. (Topic) General demographic information

1. How long have you lived in Cebu?

(Question 1. did not have to be asked because this information is on the Bio-
Sheet)

a. Are you originally from Cebu?

7
 b. I saw on your Bio-Sheet that you previously lived in Leyte. What was
it like living there? Why?

2. Do you have a small or large family?

a. How many siblings do you have?

b. Please describe your relationship with your family.
c. What type of activities do you do with your family?

(Transition to the next topic:

____________________________________________________________)

Step 4: Conducting the Interview Proper

Interview questions in this step are on the interviewee’s open and

extensive talking of things related to the research theme or research questions
and these anticipated by him/her or emanating from his/her explanations,
descriptions, or narration of things. Open or unstructured questions asked in this
step of the interview aim at investigating the respondent’s interests and eliciting
substantial or profuse responses to questions. In asking a battery of questions,
you see to it that you stick to the main point of your study, to the proper
phrasing of questions, and to the sufficient time allotted for answering the
question.

List down on a piece of paper all questions you plan to ask your
respondent and call this list of prepared questions schedule. This helps you
conduct or phrase your questions properly and enables you to foretell possible
answers. In addition, using a schedule gives you the opportunity to make
changes on the questions to adjust them to some inevitable circumstances caused
by the respondent’s human nature. Lastly, this step of the interview, where you
ask a number of questions in relation to your research problem is your time to
determine how you should label the responses with codes and present them with
a certain style like graphical or narrative presentation technique.

Example: (Interview Schedule for a Classmate)

B. (Topic) Education

1. Why did you choose the Special Program in the Arts for your secondary
education?

b. What area of services would you like to specialize? Why?
c. What type of people would you like to work with? Why?

(Transition to the next topic:

______________________________________________________________)

C. (Topic) Experiences

1. You stated on your bio-sheet that you have had the opportunity to do some
public speaking.

(Transition: Well, it has been a pleasure finding out more about you. Let me briefly
summarize the information that I have recorded during our interview.)
[ CITATION nany \l 13321 ]

Step 5: Putting an End to the Interview

Signs of the approaching end of the interview work to alert the

respondent in winding up with his or her talking. For instance, using words
expressing your decision, wish, or attempt to ask the very last question serves a
clue for the respondents to think that the interview is nearing its end. This step
also reminds you of your responsibility to let the respondent be free in airing
whatever doubts or questions he or she has about the research design, method,
interview time, and other aspects of the interview.

Step 6: Pondering Over Interview Afterthoughts

This last step of the interview gives the respondent the opportunity to
ask questions about the interview activity and let him or her have an idea about
what will happen next to the interview results.

Example: (Interview Schedule for a Classmate)

III Closing

A. (Summarize) You are very involved in __________________ You plan to

pursue a career in __________________. Your hobbies and interests are
____________.

B. (Maintain Rapport) I appreciate the time you took for this interview. Is there
anything else you think would be helpful for me to know so that I can
successfully introduce you to our class?

10
 C. (Action to be taken) I should have all the information I need. Would it be
alright to call you at home if I have any more questions? Thanks again. I look
forward to introducing you to the rest of our class.

What is a Questionnaire?

A questionnaire is a paper containing a list of questions including the specific place

and space in the paper where you write the answers to the questions. This prepared set of
questions elicits factual or opinionated answers from the respondents through his or her acts
of checking one chosen answer from several options or not writing on a line provided for any
opinionated answer.

What are the Purposes of a Questionnaire?

1. To discover people’s thoughts and feelings about the topic of the research.
2. To assist you in conducting an effective face-to-face interview with your respondents.
3. To help you plan how to obtain and record the answers to your questions.
4. To make analysis, recording, and coding of data easier and faster.

What are the Types of Questionnaires?

1. Postal Questionnaire

As the name connotes, this type of questionnaire goes to the respondent through
postal service or electronic mail. It is through the mail or postal system that the
accomplished questionnaires will be sent back to the researchers. In some cases, the
researcher can personally collect finished questionnaires.

2. Self-administered Questionnaire
This kind of questionnaire makes you act as the interviewer and the interviewee at
the same time. First you ask the questions either in person or through phone, then, you
will be writing the interviewee’s answers on a piece of paper. A questionnaire like this
fits a structured kind of interview.

What are the Advantages and Disadvantages of a Questionnaire?

Advantages
1. It is cheap and does not require you to travel to hand the questionnaires to a big
number of respondents in faraway places.
2. It entails an easy distribution to respondents.
3. It offers more opportunity for the respondents to ponder on their responses.
4. It enables easy comparison of answers because of a certain degree of uniformity
among the questions.
5. It has the capacity to elicit spontaneous or genuine answers from the respondents.

11
Disadvantages
1. There is a possibility that some questions you distributed do not go back to you, and
this prevents you from getting the desired rate of response.
2. Confusing and uninteresting questions to respondents fail to elicit the desired
responses.
3. Owing to individual differences between the selected subjects and those in the
population, in general, the questionnaire is hard up in obtaining unbiased results to
represent the characteristics of the target population.
4. It prevents you from being with the respondents physically to help them unlock some
difficulties in their understanding of the questions.

Now, let’s test your comprehension by answering the next activity. Best of
luck!

interviewee. Answering the question with (5.)___________________ makes the
question fit for unstructured interview. On the other hand, answering them with facts
makes the questionnaire good for (6.)__________ interview.

2. Refusal to let others know of one’s answer is the reason behind the holding of
(7.)_______________ but agreeing with others on their answers to questions is one
disadvantage of (8.)________________. These two interview approaches;
(9.)______________ and (10.)___________________, are different from the (11.)
_________________ approach in that, this last approach makes use of

SYNOPSIS

An interview is generally a qualitative research technique which involves asking

open-ended questions to converse with respondents and collect elicit data about a subject.
The interviewer in most cases is the subject matter expert who intends to understand
respondent opinions in a well-planned and executed series of questions and answers.
Interviews are similar to focus groups and surveys when it comes to garnering information
from the target market but are entirely 17 different in their operation – focus groups are
restricted to a small group of 6-10 individuals whereas surveys are quantitative in nature.
Interviews are conducted with a sample from a population and the key characteristic they
exhibit is their conversational tone[ CITATION na204 \l 13321 ].
