Thanks dr

This is something that experienced researchers and PhD Supervisors deemed as obvious. However, for us, who are starting either our master or doctoral studies, developing an interview guide is something very stressful and uncertain, and by the end of the day, because we didn't receive any guidance, we have inconsistencies in the data as a result. Thanks a lot Dr. Kriukow

[@qualitativeresearcher]

You are absolutely right in what you said Gustavo. I always felt this way too, and this is why I wanted to provide such guidance

[@MEGAMIND205]

I completely agree..

[@etUskalla]

thank you so much for this. I am doing some research for my master thesis and the books are not really helpful, they are too theoretical and if you are already anxious about everything, you really need some hands-on, practical guide. This helped me a lot!

[@qualitativeresearcher]

Glad it was helpful!

This was a really practical introduction to getting started on an interview guide - thank you!

I took my first ever interview of my research few hours ago and was very disappointed and worried. I thought that might be my interview guide is not so good and that I need to change my questions as well or I don't have skills to prob.... Then I started searching videos and articles about developing a good interview guide and how to prob in qualitative research... I came up with your video and damnnn I'm grateful that you have created such a fantastic video which is not just informative and helpful but also comprehensive and digestible for an undergrate...... Thank you soooooo much ( I usually don't comment on any video but I'm truly grateful to you and wanted to convey my gratitude to you).... Love from Pakistan

You're very welcome!

[@Plucks_IEM_Wonderland]

Thank you so much! I could not find a way starting to design the research question and I could not find many useful things online either. Your video helped me actually start doing things as I followed along with your video content. Surprisingly, when I started everything just went smoothly on its own and I have now done it!

[@qualitativeresearcher]

Great to hear! And yes, this can relate to anything, once you get started and break that initial barrier, usually things do turn out to be smoother and easier than they initially appeared. Glad that you're making progress!

I really appreciate your effort it is very helpful, I want to ask how to build and chose the interview questions and based on what?

[@qualitativeresearcher]

based on your research questions, and what you want to find out from your study, you will think of what questions to ask to find this information

[@michaelaomojola4437]

The online course sounds good. Are there references included? I am looking for practical assistance to do my PhD interviews but also need references to back up all my steps.

[@qualitativeresearcher]

Some references are metnioned in that course, yes. Not too many but a few when it's relevant

[@marjoriejohnson690]

Is there some peer-reviewed literature that backs up your steps and principles? This video was very helpful, but I need some documentation if I use these ideas.

[@qualitativeresearcher]

These steps are simply based on years of practice and not dozens but hundreds of data sets I worked with :) I know what you mean, but you are not really expected to provide references for developing an interview guide. You do need some for talking about interviews in general, for approaches to data analysis, etc., but it is not an expectation to be justifying the process of developing the interview questions, nobody really talks about this (which is also why I recorded this video)

How a researcher act when many participants withdraw in the last moments before the interview for different person circumstances. For example, I f I needed 3 participants of each universities then only one participated in each.
