Semi-structured Interview
A semi-structured interview is a qualitative data collection method that falls between structured and unstructured formats. The researcher utilizes a few consistent, pre-planned questions but retains the flexibility to ask more detailed follow-up questions about new topics that emerge during the interaction. These interviews are typically lengthy and yield deeply detailed information, so they are usually conducted with relatively small sample sizes.
