    Re-cap
    • Survey Methodology and design
    • Total survey error = Coverage + Sampling + non-
    response
    • Non-probability sampling
    • Design Conventions to follow and pitfalls to avoid
    Interviews - Why conduct them?
    • Rich and detailed source of information as compared
    to questionnaires/surveys
    • Many insights into human-environment interactions
    • Non-verbal cues
    • More flexibility to get more information,
    clarifications, elaborations…
    Any negatives?
    • Time, skills/expertise to maintain control and get the
    information
    Interview-based research
    • Step 1: Thematizing
    • Reasons for undertaking the study/Research Qs

    • Step 2: Project Design – carefully examine your study


    questions and what methodology to follow, Who to
    interview to get the information?
    • Who to Interview
    • What to ask
    • What format to follow
    Interview-based research
    • Step 2: Project Design
    • Interview Guide development
    • Step 3: Conduct interview (with the help of the interview
    guide you have developed)(prep, conduct)
    • Step 4: Transcribe interview (in a format conducive to

    WHAT TYPE OF INTERVIEW?
    UNSTRUCTURED

    STRUCTURED

    SEMI-STRUCTURED
    Unstructured interview
    • No particular order to ask
    questions
    • A directed conversation
    • Open-ended, fluid, more
    flexible
    • Unexpected responses,
    directions
    • Help to fill in the gaps in your
    understanding of the topic
    • Challenging – skills/expertise
    required to conduct an effective
    interview
    Structured interview
    • A proper structure to follow
    • Detailed interview guide
    • Closed-ended questions
    • Order and content of questions kept same in all
    interviews
    • No room for follow-up questions
    What’s the value in this?
    • Develop and test hypotheses (quantitative analysis)
    • Don’t need expertise in conducting them
    Semi-structured interviews
    • Some features of both
    • open and closed ended
    • Some flexibility in probing for further explanations
    • Medium expertise/interpersonal skills
    Preparing an Interview Guide
    • Instructions for the interviewer
    • Questions in the order they will be asked
    • More structured – more detail in the interview guide
    • Semi-structured – write a list of possible follow-up
    questions as well.
    • The kind of study you are conducting will dictate what
    goes in an interview guide.
    • You have to be careful that your biases and perceptions
    do not dictate the tone of the interview
    Preamble
    The interview
    • Preliminaries – arranging for a
    comfortable setting
    • You are not grilling the person, you are
    making them comfortable and gaining
    their trust to share important
    information.
    • The interview is about them, not you.
    Talk less, listen more
    • Minimize sharing your own
    experiences
    • Avoid giving opinions This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-SA-NC

    • Audio record, if possible.


    Start with easy questions

    The Build trust and then move to more


    sensitive or critical topics

    interview
    Provide guideposts – transition points

    Express appreciation for participation


    Principles for keeping
    field notes
    • While you may be audio
    recording, someone needs to
    take detailed notes.
    • Keep a notebook/notepad
    • Interpretive thoughts and
    connections
    • Non-verbal cues

    • Local
    community
    problem of
    water pollution

    • Two columns

    • Field notes
    (interpretive
    comments and
    non-verbal cues,
    etc.)
    Post-interview tasks
    • Re-read your notes and try to make sense of the
    detailed information provided.
    • Best to do this soon after the interview.

    • Analysis – Not urgent if you have arranged the


    interview notes and interpretive notes well
    Analysis
    1. Data Familiarization (re-read interviews, transcribe,
    note themes, patterns and emerging ideas)
    2. Data Reduction (Coding – creating units of
    meaning/dissecting the interviews)
    Example: Study on how government assisted flood impacted communities.
    • Varied responses – koi hukumat se madad ke leye naheen aya, sirf local NGOs ne saath deya, dosri
    bastiyun mein hukumat ne Imdad de, etc.
    • Lack of government support

    3. Data interpretation and verification (creating that


    coherent/compelling story)
    - perform a negative case analysis (interviews that were
    differing from your findings)
    Re-cap of an important concept
