- ADVANTAGES:
- Much mor flexible; the interviewer can clarify questions, e.g rephrase them. Can also ask additional questions that may help in advance.
- Interviewees can go into as much detail as they want. They can introduce issues that weren't addressed by the researcher.
- Help explore more complex issues.
- DISADVANTAGES:
- Time consuming and expensive; FOR EXAMPLE, interviewers may need to be trained.
- May be affected by interview bias; change their answers because they think they will be judged by the interviewer.
- May have interview bias; where the interviewer already has their own assumption, they may ask leading questions.
- Fewer interviews can be taken, making it more difficult to claim that the findings apply to wider population.
- ADVANTAGES:
