Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A standardized interview is characterized by comprehensive and simple questions, clear wording, and consistent meaning across all respondents. This ensures that the same information is gathered from all participants in a reliable and valid way. A semistandardized interview allows for some flexibility and adaptation in the wording and sequencing of questions. A creative interview is more open-ended and exploratory, allowing the interviewer to deviate from a set of pre-determined questions. An unstandardized interview has no set structure or questions, and is generally not used in empirical research.
