What considerations should an interviewer keep in mind when wording questions to obtain all necessary data?
What will be an ideal response?
Questions must be worded in a way designed to make respondents answer as completely and honestly as possible. The questions must convey meaning to the informant, while motivating him/her to become involved in the interview through communicating attitudes and opinions. They should be precise so that the interviewee understands what is being asked and how he/she is expected to respond. The questions should be specific enough so that patterns can be discerned when data are analyzed after collection. The interviewer is not an interrogator, or a therapist, but an interested listener who is inviting the interviewees to speak their minds. The interviewer must be warmly human, while at the same time coldly nonjudgmental.
