Qualitative Research

Qualitative Research in Action by Jennifer Mason.

Excerpts from the chapter: Qualitative Interviewing: Asking, listening and interpreting.
(points mapped out. it made more sense to me this way, though it might look confused & complicated to you)















echoes what my review panel says:
- be sensitive to creating the right atmosphere
- on what basis does this interview and interviewee illuminate the social 'phenomenon' in question?
- asking definite questions makes it easier through specifics of the narration, and possibly easier to interpret.
- anticipate and discover the range of contexts in relation to the interviewee.
- ask what matters to them, what does not.
- use of a situational approach, active engagement between interviewer and interviewee.
