Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The researcher made this offer to encourage the sharing of information that might not have been divulged in a group setting. Private interviews can create a more comfortable and confidential environment where participants may feel more inclined to share personal opinions or experiences that they may not have been comfortable discussing in front of the group. This can provide the researcher with valuable insights and perspectives that could have been missed during the group session.
