Page 2: Interview Techniques in Psychological Research
The second page focuses on interview methodologies in psychological research, particularly distinguishing between structured and unstructured approaches.
Definition: Unstructured interviews allow for flexible, conversational data collection without predetermined questions.
Highlight: The key advantage of unstructured interviews is the ability to build rapport with participants and allow for natural conversation flow.
Example: In a structured interview studying anxiety, researchers might ask the same specific questions about anxiety symptoms to all participants, while in an unstructured interview, the conversation might naturally evolve based on the participant's responses.
Vocabulary: Rapport refers to the development of a comfortable, trusting relationship between researcher and participant.
