Qualitative interviews: a methodological discussion of the interviewer and respondent contexts

Interviews are a staple method used in qualitative research. Many authors hold face-to-face interviews to be the gold standard, or the assumed best mode in which to conduct interviews. However, a large number of research projects are based on conducting interviews via telephone. While some scholars have addressed the advantages and disadvantages of using telephones to conduct interviews, this work is scattered across multiple disciplines and lacks a cohesive, comprehensive framework. The current article seeks to rectify this gap in the literature, by explicitly developing the constructs of the interviewer context and the respondent context. By examining key components in each of these contexts, the qualitative interviewer can make an informed, reflective decision about the best interview mode to use for a particular project.

Interviews gehören zur Grundausstattung qualitativer Sozialforschung; insbesondere Face-to-Face-Interviews erachten viele als Gold-Standard zu deren Durchführung. Dennoch werden in vielen Projekten auch Telefoninterviews genutzt. Und auch wenn verschiedentlich Vor- und Nachteile von Telefoninterviews diskutiert werden, geschieht dies verstreut über unterschiedliche Disziplinen; es fehlt eine zusammenhängende und umfassende Einordnung. In diesem Beitrag versuche ich, zu einer systematischen Reflexion beizutragen, indem ich mich dezidiert mit dem Konzept des Kontextes aufseiten der Interviewenden bzw. der Interviewten auseinandersetze. Denn nur durch die Prüfung der zentralen Kontextdimensionen können Interviewer/innen informierte und reflektierte Entscheidungen darüber treffen, welche Interviewart in einem Projekt zum Einsatz kommen sollte.
