has a well-defined content.
 3. semi-structured-There is
a specific set of questions,
but there are also additional
probes that may come in the
form of follow-up questions
that are not included in the
list of the original questions.
Through this process, the
researcher can gather
additional data from a
respondent that may add
depth and significance to
the findings. The instrument
often used in this method is
the interview schedule.
Although interviews are
often dynamic, it is very
difficult to get different
interviews with different
people to follow exactly the
same flow. Researchers can
use interview schedules to
ensure that the interview
stays on track, and even to
give their interview the
desired amount of structure.
A camcorder is used for
collecting data through
interviews. It provides a
combination of both an
audio recorder and a video
camera. The data provided
is qualitative in nature and
allows the respondents to
answer questions asked
exhaustively.

Group interviews can be
classified into two types: 1.
Focus group-participants
are selected by the
researcher according to a
specific sampling criteria
(e.g., licensed
dermatologists who have
been practicing for at least
ten years; current college
students majoring in English
who are vying for honors.) 
2. Natural group- the
participants belong to a
group that exists
independently of the study
(e.g., all members of the
marketing department of a
certain company, members
of a local sports team)

of the position or the way in
which the individual carries
out their job function and
responds to stresses and
demands. A well-known
example of the observation
interview is of stand
inspections in schools,
where teachers are
observed by an off stand
representative and the
school given an overall
mark based on the findings
of these interviews.  Hiding
the observation, known as
unobtrusive observation,
may solve this, but can be
legally shaky. Another form
of observation is time
allocation (TA), which
attempts to observe
someone in a particular time
and place before they know
they are being observed.
There are two types of
observation: 1. Structured.
The researcher utilizes a
checklist as a data
collection tool wherein
expected behavior  of
interest has been specified.
2. Unstructured. This is
performed by the researcher
as he or she tries to explain
events without any
preconceived ideas about
what will be observed.

5. Subjective type: The
respondents are free to give
their opinion about an issue
or concern. The tools used
in the questionnaire are:
Likert Scale and Semantic
Differential Scale. With the
Likert scale, people state
how much they agree or
disagree with a particular
statement; with the
semantic differential scale,
people filling in the
questionnaire decide how
much of a trait or quality the
item has. A Likert scale
measures agreement or
disagreement to a particular
statement. The scale ranges
from “strongly agree” to
“disagree” with neutral in the
center. You can easily
quantify the results. It’s
usual for the highest
agreement to be rated a 5,
neutral as 3 and the lowest
agreement or no
agreement. This makes it
easy to compare results. On
the other hand, the
Semantic scale is very
subjective on the user’s
part. Plus, there’s no
“neutral” answer, which
makes it difficult to quantify.
You can’t pinpoint direct
metrics with this type of
scale. For example, you
couldn’t find out if “on hold
wait times are less than five
minutes.” You can only ask
how the respondent feels
about wait times
(acceptable/not acceptable).
A potential benefit of the
semantic differential scale is
that the user is really only
posed with two options that
are opposites, where the
Likert scale has a range of
intensities to choose from.
