"Fokusgruppen eignen sich hervorragend insbesondere als Technik, um Gruppendynamiken nachvollziehen zu können. Allerdings haben sie, verglichen mit individuellen Interviews, ein entscheidendes Problem: Befragte werden nur sehr zögernd in einer Gruppe Informationen preisgeben, die ihnen vertraulich scheinen. Insoweit bedeutet die Wertschätzung dieses spezifischen Instruments Fokusgruppen mitunter einen Verlust an wichtigen Informationen zur Beantwortung der Forschungsfrage. Ich schlage deshalb eine Technik vor, das interaktive Interview, mit dem ich die besondere Potenz eines individuellen und eines Gruppensettings zu verbinden versucht habe. Dabei führt der oder die Forschende alternative Positionen im Gespräch ein und versucht auf diese Weise, diskursive Dynamiken zu generieren, die denen vergleichbar sind, die aus Gruppensituationen resultieren. Ich illustriere diese Vorgehensweise an einer Fallstudie zur Rolle der europäischen Integration in der post-kommunistischen Demokratisierung Bulgariens." (Autorenreferat)... view less

"Forming focus groups as a particular technique for gathering information gives excellent results in tracing group discursive dynamics. Compared to individual interviews, however, it has an inherent setback. Expressing opinions without sufficient confidentiality protection makes informants hesitant. Trying to trace group dynamics at any cost may lead to losing important information regarding the research question. This research note proposes a new technique, interactive interviews, that combines the strengths of individual and group formats. In this technique, the researcher reproduces alternative discourses trying to engage informants in discursive dynamics identical to that found in focus groups. The results cover not only the eventual discursive change in informants, but also the discursive tensions that the researcher experiences. This note presents evidence of the testing of this technique on a case dealing with the role of EU integration on post-communist democratization in Bulgaria." (author's abstract)... view less
