Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Semistructured interviews have a mix of predefined questions and the flexibility for the interviewer to probe further based on the respondent's answers. This allows for a balance between reliability and validity while also allowing for individual nuances to be explored. Structured interviews have only predefined questions, unstructured interviews have no predefined questions, closed-ended interviews have only closed-ended questions, and direct interviewing is not a commonly used term in research methods.
