For novice interviewers in #qualitativeresearch, remember that the richness of the interview would mostly depend on your skills. But you could start by adding the following type of questions to your repertory:

👉Introductory
"Can you tell me...". #AcademicChatter #phdchat /1

👉Probing
"Can you give me an example?" "Could you say something more about..." " Can you give me more details on...". #AcademicChatter #phdchat #qualitativeresearch /2

👉Specifying
"What did you actually do when ..." "How did your body react?". #AcademicChatter #phdchat #qualitativeresearch /3

👉Direct
"Have you ever received money for sex?"
Here the interviewer directly introduces the topic and dimension of it. #AcademicChatter #phdchat #qualitativeresearch /4

👉Structuring
"I would now like to introduce another topic ..."
The interviewer indicates when a theme has been exhausted. #AcademicChatter #phdchat #qualitativeresearch /5

👉Interpreting
"You then mean that ..." " Does the expression...cover what you have expressed?". #AcademicChatter #phdchat #qualitativeresearch /6

👉Follow-up
This can be done by direct questioning what has just been said or by non-verbal communication or a simple "mmm..." can have the power of inviting the interviewee to go on with his/her description. #AcademicChatter #phdchat #qualitativeresearch /7

👉Silence
Making pauses in the conversation provides an environment for reflection in which an interviewee might break the silence himself by sharing important information. #AcademicChatter #phdchat #qualitativeresearch /8

The interviewer should use the more adequate type of questions or a combination of them depending on the objective of the research and the characteristics of the interviewee. Which ones do you use?#AcademicChatter #phdchat #qualitativeresearch /9
