Qualitative interviewing by telephone

[Annie Irvine]

Hi all,

I’d be interested to hear people’s thoughts, ideas, reflections on qualitative interviewing by telephone and how it compares to face-to-face, specifically from the point of view of the spoken interaction and the data that’s produced. I’m working on an empirical study of this (info sheet should be attached if I’ve done it right!) and would like to make connections with other people thinking about/researching this issue.

Thanks!
Annie

Hi Annie,

I’ve put together some thoughts on (phone) interviewing via Skype here http://squaremethodology.com/2011/01/initial-thoughts-on-interviews-via-skype/ 

Best,

Hi Christian,

I just read the information that you posted via the link and it was great.  I am doing a Netnography and wanted to use Skype for for my “phone” interviews which I see as a virtual F2F conversation.  Hopefully when I am ready to do this the IRB will not kick me to the curb.

Regards

Ila

Hi Annie,

Thanks for the information and I found it very interesting.  I have yet to conduct my research for it will be online but I was curious about what methods I was going to use for online.  Christian posted the information on Skype and I like your current research as well for I was thinking about the F2F interaction or lack thereof when it is an online environment.  So keep us posted on your findings.

Best

Hi Ila,

 

Thanks for your message. I’m attaching the summary of project findings here, as well as a link to a ‘Toolkit’ that is based on the project.
