This workshop helps develop a set of practical skills, most relevant to conducting semi-structured interviews, as part of a mixed methods study. It is also applicable to other kinds of interviews. We begin by reviewing how interviewing, as a method, can be designed to gain rich detail in experiences, opinions, knowledge, or behaviour. We then demonstrate skills via three vignettes. 1. Establish rapport and trust (via verbal cues and body language) with a participant at the beginning of an interview. 2. Encourage rich and relevant responses via prompting techniques, active listening, and a mindful and engaged presence. 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 this prepares for analysis of interviews via a mixed methods approach.
