TIPS FOR EFFECTIVE RESEARCH INTERVIEWS

Maya Thomas* and M.J. Thomas
  1. Make sure the research question is clear.
  2. Develop a check list of the questions to be asked during the interview.
  3. Express clearly the purpose of the interview.
  4. Start with a neutral question to facilitate free flow of information.
  5. Use open-ended questions so that the respondent can choose his answer.
  6. Limit the content of each question with a single idea to avoid confusion.
  7. Reduce questions that give responses of `yes' or `no', because they give limited information.
  8. Do not influence the respondent by asking leading questions.
  9. If you have not understood the response ask the respondent to repeat and clarify.
  10. Do not assume answers.
  11. Do not pass judgements.
  12. Avoid irrelevant discussions.
  13. When you change the tack, inform the respondent that you are doing so.
  14. Keep the interview short.
  15. At the end of the interview summarise the points reported and ask the respondent if the summary is correct.
