Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An in-depth interview involves asking a subject a set of semi-structured questions in a face-to-face setting. This allows the researcher to gather detailed information about the subject's experiences, opinions, and attitudes on a particular topic. It is often used in qualitative research to gain a deeper understanding of a phenomenon or to explore new topics. The other options do not accurately describe an in-depth interview: A refers to naturalistic observation, C refers to social desirability bias, D refers to a focus group, and E refers to memoing (a technique used to record researcher's thoughts and observations during fieldwork).
