Interview techniques

A semi-structured interviewing technique was used to allow interviewees sufficient flexibility in articulating their responses while ensuring sufficient topic coverage for the subsequent analysis. Interview questions acted as guides or probes, based on a funnelling technique (see [294])  

Interview questions needed to address the research questions, but were elaborated and defined after the literature review. Specifically, the questions needed to cover 10 broad topic areas relating to policy, rules, practice and experiences with official risk reduction strategy processes at national and EU levels (as described in Section 2.3.4 and defined in Appendix 2.4). These 10 topic areas were anticipated as minimising potential overlaps between interviewee reports of national and EU dimensions while being sufficiently wide to group variations in interviewee responses.

Questions were carefully constructed so as not to influence interviewee response. Interviews should be a one-way process because researcher bias can be more easily introduced in a two-way process of communication [298]. Interviews were also constructed and conducted so as to avoid confrontation and challenge, allowing the interviewees to respond freely. Most interviews were conducted between January 2004 and March 2005 at the organisation s headquarters five interviews were conducted over the telephone when scheduling meetings proved difficult. Interviewee responses over the telephone tended to be shorter and therefore less detailed, even when using follow-up probes.

Geoffrey MandeTs Kill the Director is a mockumentary about film production, specifically student production. It uses interview techniques focusing on the director and his crew. The tale is one of continual failure. Crew members leave. The director feigns optimism, and artistic integrity above all is his goal, even in the nude scenes. Eventually, all the crew members and actors leave, and the director undresses and films himself as stand-in for the actor. A lamp falls on him and kills him. His crew rallies, finishes the film, and wins numerous awards. It was art after all. 

The interview technique used to reveal an individual s means-end chain, underpinning product choice, is called laddering (Reynolds and Gutman, 1984 and 1988). From the interview data hierarchical value maps were constructed based on an aggregation of individual ladders. Means-end chain analysis is useful in understanding consumer motivation but can lead to too few conceptual statements and for this reason the laddering interviews were supported by a series of focus groups.
