Feedback:
Several approaches can be used to collect qualitative self-report data. Researchers use completely unstructured interviews when they have no preconceived view of the information to be gathered. They aim to learn about respondents' perceptions and experiences without imposing their own views. Researchers begin by asking a grand tour question such as, "What happened when you first learned that you had AIDS?" Subsequent questions are guided by initial responses. Ethnographic and phenomenological studies often rely on unstructured interviews.
