Exploring diverse interview types

Unstructured interviews - interview method notes

Study Title: Negotiating Midlife: Exploring Subjective Experiences of Ageing

In this study the researcher carried out two interviews with each interviewee. The first of which was unstructured. It opened with one question 'Can you tell me about your life in your own words' and then let the interviewee narrate thier own life story in their own words with very little interruption from the interviewer.

ESDS is now part of the
UK Data Service.

These ESDS web pages will remain during the transition, but may not be up to date.
