the Kvale Interviews

Kvale Interviews refer to a qualitative research method developed by Steinar Kvale, focusing on in-depth, conversational interviews to explore people's experiences and perspectives. This approach emphasizes open-ended questions, active listening, and adaptable dialogue, allowing researchers to gain rich, detailed insights. It is often used in social sciences to understand complex human meanings and beliefs, encouraging interviewees to express themselves freely. The method values a respectful, collaborative interaction between interviewer and participant, aiming to uncover nuanced understandings rather than quantitative data.
