Intimacy,rapport, and exceptional disclosure: a comparison of in-person and mediated interview contexts

While qualitative researchers increasingly accept online video interviews as a reliable method, many maintain concerns about rapport and data quality. Drawing on two separate interview projects conducted in private in-person settings, public in-person settings, and privately via Skype, we compare interview contexts with regard to rapport, suitability to sensitive topics, interview duration, and scheduling concerns raised by prior research. Analytical comparison of these two corpuses of data suggest, largely in contrast to previous literature, that (1) interviews conducted in private settings (either in-person or via Skype) result in more sharing of deeply personal experiences, and there is little difference in this exceptional disclosure between Skype and in-person private interviews; (2) interviewing via Skype produces neither reduction nor inappropriate excesses of rapport; and (3) Skype interviews are a popular choice among participants, did not result in shorter interview duration, and were not subject to greater rescheduling or cancellation.     

Improving Participation in Green Infrastructure Planning

Green infrastructure is a strategic planning concept that is able to address environmental, social and even economic problems by supplying a variety of benefits for society. Especially in times of public financial crises and spatial transformation, it is important to ensure that those services are high quality to guarantee that they will provide the intended benefits by integrating stakeholders’ knowledge and experience into green infrastructure planning. Active stakeholder participation leads to legitimate and informed future planning that accounts for society’s needs. This paper investigates participation approaches of six green infrastructure investments in Belgium, the UK, Germany and the Netherlands. The major aim is to explore how and when participation should take place to optimize participation in green infrastructure planning. This is achieved by surveying the stakeholders involved and conducting stakeholder discussions to identify their views on the participation approaches employed and their integration into the planning process. We found that stakeholders were generally satisfied with how they were involved but desired a broader and more tailored mix of approaches. Furthermore, we found several Arnstein gaps, which lead us to conclude by suggesting recommendations that are helpful for successful participation in green infrastructure planning.     

顺应论下中文电视访谈中闪避的变异性研究

闪避作为交际策略的一种,在访谈节目中倍受嘉宾亲睐。在此运用Verschueren的顺应论来探讨访谈类电视节目中,闪避策略的变异性。经过研究发现,在电视访谈节目中,嘉宾主要运用的闪避策略能从以下三个特征来体现顺应论的变异性：改换问题的语境;有意地改变谈话的主题;有意地违返格莱斯的方式准则。在实际的访谈中,三者之间并不是泾渭分明,而是互相交织,它们的交织更多地体现在后两个特征的互相贯穿使用上,而且它们互为因果。     

The big story about small stories: Narratives of crime and terrorism

The ‘big story/small story’ distinction has emerged as a discrete approach to narrative analysis. Proponents of this approach are critical of the ‘big stories’ elicited by structural analysts, which they see as highly structured narratives of past experiences, typically elicited in an interview context. In contrast, they highlight the importance of studying the fragmented, contextualised ‘small stories’ that arise in everyday conversation/interaction. We question the basis of this distinction and we suggest that it unnecessarily proliferates analytic categories. Further, we suggest that the methodologies followed by ‘small stories’ analysts are often similar to those used to elicit ‘big stories’ and are hence open to similar criticisms; in particular, a failure to fully consider the issue of (contextual) naturalism. Drawing on interviews of crime/terrorism in Northern Ireland, we show how these data comprise both ‘big stories’ and ‘small stories’ within the same context and often within the same narrative.     

高校女性管理人员工作满意度质性研究

语言学研究中的访谈：理论与实践

访谈是应用语言学研究的重要方法之一。作为获得数据的主要手段,研究性访谈在定性研究中得到了广泛的应用。本文通过概述访谈的定义、关于访谈不同的认知观点、不同的流派、访谈的分析方法以及访谈过程中存在的问题等几个方面对语言学研究中的访谈进行了探讨,在分析总结的基础上提出了建议,旨在帮助研究者对访谈法形成较为全面的认识,即访谈是一种社交练习而不只是一种研究工具。因此,研究者在重视访谈结果的同时更要对访谈的过程加以关注。
