Basics of a successful interview guide
An effective interview guide is the backbone of any qualitative survey. It serves to structure the interview and ensure that all relevant topics are covered. The core elements of a successful guide include clearly formulated, open-ended questions that encourage the interviewee to talk. In addition, it is important to organize the questions logically and thematically to encourage a natural flow of conversation. Flexibility is also crucial: a good guideline leaves room for spontaneous follow-up questions and for elaborating on interesting points. The development of such a guide requires care and a deep understanding of the subject matter.
Develop questions for the interview guide
What the interview guide should look like differs considerably depending on which research method is used. Before developing the interview guide, it is therefore necessary to decide which method is most suitable for achieving the research objective. A basic distinction is made between quantitative and qualitative research methods.
Quantitative research questions are particularly suitable when you want to find out how certain topics manifest themselves in reality and whether developed hypotheses are correct. Qualitative research is always suitable when hypotheses are first developed in the research process and the question of why certain actions were carried out is also relevant.
Qualitative research
If qualitative research is to be conducted, it usually deals with questions that are intended to explore past or present perspectives, behaviors and logics of action and make them understandable. In particular, the motives and attitudes of individual actors are examined, which can be discussed against the background of a scientific debate in a different context.
Typical methods are qualitative interviews such as expert discussions, (participant) observations, individual case analyses or qualitative content or document analyses.
Example of a qualitative research question: Why do journalists rely primarily on Twitter in social media?
Quantitative research
Quantitative research collects data using standardized methods and evaluates them statistically. The measurement of empirical factors is intended to confirm hypotheses developed in advance through systematic and standardized recording.
This requires a larger number of surveys and samples for the research in order to capture the entire spectrum of possibilities, opinions and cases and to be able to recognize and exclude distortions and disruptive influences later on. The results can therefore be generalized to the masses in a representative manner.
Example of a quantitative research question: At what times of day are messages on Twitter particularly successful?
Which procedure is the right one?
The choice of method always depends on the research objective and should be weighed up in advance with regard to its advantages and disadvantages. As an additional criterion, the current state of scientific research, which the interview aims to substantiate or supplement, must be taken into account. The choice of method must be adequately justified in the paper, as this is the only way to assign the results to the research subject.
The following table can be used to decide which interview method is the right one. The purpose of the research is the decisive factor:
|
Criterion |
Qualitative research |
Quantitative research |
|
Research perspective |
The perspective of the person affected is the focus of interest |
View of the objective observation level of the researcher |
|
Research context |
Subjective experience |
"Hard" facts, replicable data, objective data collection |
|
Research process |

Static |
|
Theoretical reference |
Discovery and development of hypotheses and theories on the basis of the material acquired |
Verification and confirmation of previously established hypotheses |
|
Procedure |

Deductive, measuring and collecting data |
|
Interest in knowledge |
Research into living environments and interactions |
Generalizations from samples to the masses |
|
Methode |
Expert interviews, qualitative content analysis, discussions |
Surveys, observations, experiments |
Once the research method has been selected, the next step is to structure the interview guide with the appropriate questions.
The role of interview transcriptions in qualitative researchng
Professional transcriptions are a fundamental part of qualitative research. They convert spoken words into a written form that enables detailed analysis and interpretation. The accuracy of these transcriptions is crucial as it forms the basis for subsequent analysis. Accurate transcriptions ensure that nuances, emphases and even pauses in the conversation are preserved, which is essential for understanding the underlying meanings and contexts. Professional services such as transcribers ensure that these important aspects are taken into account in the transcription, significantly increasing the quality and reliability of qualitative research findings.

Further questions and answers
An interview guide is a structuring aid for a qualitative interview. It contains the intended topic blocks and questions for the interview and can be made available to the interviewee in advance for preparation.
An interview guide usually consists of the following sections:
1. Introductory questions: Usually easy-to-answer "icebreaker" questions to start the conversation.
2. Main part: Actual content-related questions that are to be answered with the interview.
3. Concluding information : Information on the next steps and on formal matters, e.g. further use of the data collected.
There are different types of questions for each section. forms of questionsthat are suitable.
Especially for less experienced interviewers, a guided interview to proceed in a structured manner, not to digress and not to forget anything.
In principle, however, an interview thrives on the interaction between the interviewees. An interview guideline is therefore a good guideline from which you can deviate for interesting side aspects during the interview. The guideline is also a good aid to thinking about which questioning technique in which section promise the greatest insights.
The creation of an interview guide usually takes place in two steps:
1) During question development, the questions to be answered are collected from the research interest. No prioritization is made here.
2) When creating the guidelines, the collected questions are arranged, sorted into question blocks and prioritized with the help of the appropriate question technique formulated using the appropriate question technique.
