Types of Interviews used in Research
There are different types of interviews used in the research data collection. An
interview is either structured or unstructured, depending upon whether a formal
questionnaire has bean formulated and the questions asked in a prearranged order or
not. An interview is also either direct or indirect as a result of whether the purposes
of the questions asked are plainly stated or intentionally disguised. Cross-classifying
these two characteristics provides four different types of interviews. That is, an
interview may be: (1) structured and direct, (2) unstructured and direct, (3) structured
and indirect, or (4) unstructured and indirect. Types (1) and (2) are basically
objective types; (3) and (4) are subjective types.
