In this episode, we provide an extensive overview of the research interview as a vital method in qualitative research. We begin by defining the purpose of research interviews and distinguishing between three main types: structured, semi-structured, and unstructured (in-depth) interviews.

Each type is discussed in terms of its appropriate application and context, helping researchers choose the best approach for their specific needs.

We also delve into the practical and ethical considerations involved in the interview process. This includes exploring various sampling strategies, such as purposive and snowball sampling, as well as determining the ideal sample size through concepts like data saturation. Effective participant recruitment is emphasized as a crucial element of successful research.

Additionally, we outline essential steps for setting up an interview, focusing on the importance of ensuring confidentiality and anonymity, obtaining informed consent, and maintaining accurate data recording and transcription. Join us as we navigate the complexities of research interviews, equipping you with the knowledge to conduct effective and ethical qualitative research.

Welcome to Research Philosophies in Qualitative Inquiry, a podcast dedicated to exploring the diverse theoretical standpoints that shape qualitative research. In this series, we will delve into research philosophies beyond positivism, which will be addressed in greater detail in a forthcoming book.

This podcast emphasizes the critical role that a researcher’s perceptions, beliefs, and assumptions play in shaping research design. Understanding these philosophical underpinnings is essential for developing a logical and coherent research project.

We will explore a range of perspectives related to social constructionism, including Postmodernism, Critical Theory, Feminist Theories, Critical Race Theory, and Queer Theory. These frameworks generally view reality as socially constructed and focus on issues of power, marginalization, and justice.

Additionally, we will contrast these views with various forms of Realism, such as naïve and critical realism, which assert that reality exists independently of human perception. We will also discuss Pragmatism, a flexible approach that prioritizes methodological choices based on the research’s purpose rather than strict adherence to a single philosophical stance.

Join us as we navigate these complex ideas, fostering a deeper understanding of how philosophy informs qualitative research and enriches our inquiry into the human experience.
