Semi-structured interviews

Semi-structured interviews are a flexible research method where the interviewer has a set of prepared questions but can also explore new topics that come up during the conversation. This approach balances guidance with openness, allowing interviewers to gather in-depth insights while adapting to the interviewee's responses. It is commonly used in qualitative research to understand people's experiences, opinions, or motivations, providing richer and more nuanced data than standard questionnaires.
