Research Interviewing
Author: Elliot G. Mishler
language: en
Publisher: Harvard University Press
Release Date: 1991-04-01
Mishler presents a powerful critique of current views on research interviewing, and offers a new approach. He sees traditional interviewing as suppressing discourse and argues that an interview is actually a type of narrative in which respondents should have a more extensive role as participants and collaborators.
Reflective Interviewing
Qualitative researchers have long made use of many different interview forms. Yet, for novice researchers, making the connections between "theory" and "method" is not always easy. This book provides a theoretically-informed guide for researchers learning how to interview in the social sciences. In order to undertake quality research using qualitative interviews, a researcher must be able to theorize the application of interviews to investigate research problems in social science research. As part of this process, researchers examine their subject positions in relation to participants, and examine their interview interactions systematically to inform research design. This book provides a practical approach to interviewing, helping researchers to learn about themselves as interviewers in ways that will inform the design, conduct, analysis and representation of interview data. The author takes the reader through the practicalities of designing and conducting an interview study, and relates various forms of interview to different underlying epistemological assumptions about how knowledge is produced. The book concludes with practical advice and perspectives from experienced researchers who use interviews as a method of data generation. This book is written for a multidisciplinary audience of students of qualitative research methods.
Interviewing in Health and Human Services
Author: Krishna Samantrai
language: en
Publisher: Wadsworth Publishing Company
Release Date: 1996
This text presents an innovative approach to learning and teaching the art of interviewing in the increasingly diverse and complex field of human services. Using a clear straightforward language, Samantrai explains abstract concepts, principles, and techniques of professional practice. Then, by presenting complete recordings of actual case interviews, she illustrates how these theories translate into everyday application. Line-by-line analysis alongside the interviews allows the student to examine the client's exact words, nonverbal behaviors, and psychological processes, and assess the worker's skills and techniques.Samantrai has carefully addressed multiculturalism. Not only does she discuss interviewing ethnic minorities, but she covers the necessary skills for interviewing people of all cultures, as well as women and children. Included at the end of this text are quick reference guides covering how to organize interviewing principles and techniques, assess client needs, and develop service plans.
