Consider the following excerpt from the description of methods in
Lindsley, S.L. (1999). Communication and “the Mexican way”: Stability and trust as core symbols in Maquiladoras. Western Journal of Communication, 63(1), 1-31.
“I conducted informal interviews as conversations on the topics of cultural and intercultural communication in the maquiladoras. These conversations emerged from interactions with participants in formal interviews and with others who were knowledgeable about maquiladoras. These were unplanned conversations which occurred spontaneously during the time I was living in a U.S – Mexican bordertown . . . These interviews had no formal structure; they simply occupied portions of naturally occurring conversations. As a result, they were not, as a rule, recorded; however, I completed field notes as soon afterward as possible” (p. 5)
What type of interview was Lindsley using?
