Principal speaker
Dr Judy Rose
This workshop provides a set of practical skills, most relevant to conducting semi-structured interviews, while also applicable to other kinds of interviews, and as part of a mixed methods study.
We begin by reviewing how interviewing can be optimised as a methodological tool to gain rich detail in experiences, opinions, knowledge or behaviour.
We then demonstrate via three vignettes how to: 1. Establish rapport and trust (via verbal cues and body language) with a participant at the beginning of an interview, 2. Use prompting techniques such as "tell me more about that', and how to employ active listening, and a mindful and engaged presence, to encourage rich and relevant responses, and 3. Manage instances of interactive trouble that may occur at the outset of an interview (e.g. trying to establish common ground) and as the interview progresses (e.g. confronting outbursts/disclosures or detecting inauthentic information).
Finally, we prepare you to apply these interviewing skills to your own semi-structured interview, and provide an indication of how a mixed methods analysis of interviews could be considered.
