The document discusses different types of interviews that can be used for research data collection. It describes personal interviews, telephone interviews, focus group interviews, depth interviews, and projective techniques. Personal interviews involve face-to-face communication between an interviewer and respondent. They are generally structured with questions planned in advance. Telephone interviews collect information by asking respondents questions over the phone. Focus group interviews involve a moderator leading a discussion among a small group of respondents. Depth interviews are nondirective and give respondents freedom to answer openly. Projective techniques indirectly reveal responses through interpretation of ambiguous objects or activities.

In writing about your research when you have completed the project you need an explanation of your methodology so that others can understand the significance of what you have done and make sense of how it all worked. The methodology piece says why you did what you did. It also enables you to write about what you did not do and why, and about the weaknesses or limitations of your project as well as its strengths. Every research has a limitation of some sort and it is perfectly acceptable to identify the weaknesses of your own study.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

3. DEFINITION
According to McNamara, 1999
Interviews are particularly useful for getting the story
behind a participant’s experiences.
The interviewer can pursue in-depth information
around the topic.
Interviews may be useful as follow-up to certain
respondents.
7. Methods of conducting an
Personal Interview
A personal interview involves a lot
of preparation. Generally an
personal interview should go
through the following five/5 stages
they are as follows.
8. a. Rapport Building
Interviewer should increase the
receptiveness of the respondent,
2. by making him believe that his
opinions are very useful to the
research, and is going to be a
pleasure rather than an ordeal(trial).
1.
9. b. Introduction
An
introduction involves the interviewer
identifying himself by giving him his name,
purpose and sponsorship if any.
An introductory letter goes a long way in
conveying the study’s legitimacy.
10. c. Probing
Probing is the technique of encouraging the
respondents to answer
completely,
freely
relevantly.
11. d. Recording
The interviewer can either write the response at
the time of interview or after the interview.
In certain cases, where the respondent allows
for it, audio or visual aids can be used to record
answers.
12. e. Closing
After the interview, interviewer should
thank the respondent and once again assure
him about the worth of his answers
And also the confidentiality of the same.
13. 2. Telephone
Interview
Telephone interview the information is
collected from the respondent by asking
him questions on the phone is called as
telephone interview.
The combination of telephone and
computer has made this method even more
popular.
It has certain advantages and disadvantages.
14. 3. Focus Group Interview
Focus group interview is an unstructured
interview which involves a moderator
leading a discussion between a small group
of respondents on a specific topic.
15. Cont.
Focus group interview results in advantages
summed up as 10 S. they as follow.
Synergism – working together of two things
Snowballing – Collects information as it transfers from one person to
another
Stimulation – inspires the data collection
Security –
Spontaneity - Information collected would be natural
Serendipity – chance of getting relevant information to the study.
Specialization
Scientific scrutiny
Structure
speed
16. 4. Depth Interview
Depth interview is nondirective in nature where
the respondent is given freedom to answer within
the boundaries of the topic of interest.
17. 5. Projective Techniques
Projective Techniques involve the presentation of
an ambiguous, unstructured object, activity or
person that a respondent is asked to interpret and
explain.
Respondents asked to interpret the colours of dress.
In Projective Techniques, the respondents are
asked to interpret the behaviour of others/objects
and this way they indirectly reveal their own
behaviour in the same situation. Some of these
techniques are discussed below.
18. Cont..
Word Association Test: Respondents are presented
with a list of words one at a time and they are asked to
respond immediately with the first things that come to
their mind
e.g. in a study on book reading habits the respondents can be
presented with words like 2 states etc.
Where do you use Internet?
Library
Cyber café
Hostel
Home
19. Cloud Picture Test: This shows two or more character
conversing with each other and cloud of one character is
left empty.
Then a response to be filled by the respondents according
to his interpretation of what the other characters are
saying.
21. Cont..
Sentence Completion Test: It is similar to a word
association test where instead of a word, a sentence is
left incomplete and the respondent is asked to fill it
with the first thought that comes to his mind
e.g. People who uses public library are …………
Story Completion Study: A step further to sentence
completion, is the story completion study
Under this a story is created by the researcher which defines
the topic of research and the respondents are asked to
complete the story.
22. Other types
Informal, conversational interview - no predetermined
questions are asked, in order to remain as open and adaptable as
possible to the interviewee’s nature and priorities; during the
interview the interviewer “goes with the flow”.
General interview guide approach - intended to ensure that
the same general areas of information are collected from each
interviewee; this provides more focus than the conversational
approach, but still allows a degree of freedom and adaptability in
getting the information from the interviewee
23. Standardized, open-ended interview - the same
open-ended questions are asked to all interviewees;
this approach facilitates faster interviews that can be
more easily analyzed and compared.
Closed, fixed-response interview - all interviewees
are asked the same questions and asked to choose
answers from among the same set of alternatives. This
format
is
interviewing.

24. Advantages of Interview Method
1.
2.
Opportunity for Feedback – Interviewer can provide direct
feedback to the respondent, give clarifications .
Probing Complex Answers – Interviewers can investigate if
the respondent’s answer is too brief or unclear. This gives
interviewers some flexibility in dealing with unstructured
questions
is especially suited for handling complex questions.
3.
Length of Interview – If the questionnaire is very
lengthy, the personal interview is the best technique for
getting respondents to cooperate, without overtaxing
their patience
25. Cont..
4. Complete Questionnaires – Respondent will answer all
questions asked, unlike in telephone interview where the
respondent may hang up or in mail questionnaire where
some questions may go unanswered.
5. Props & Visual Aids – Interviewers have the
opportunity of showing respondents items such as
sample products, graphs ands sketches, which can aid in
their answers.
Respondents
can show the encyclopedia,
periodical while asking questions on them.
6. High
indexing
Participation – Interviewing respondents
personally can increase the likelihood of their
participation, many people participate directly.
26. Disadvantages of Interview Method
1.
Cost – Personal interviews are usually more expensive than
mail, telephone and internet surveys.
Factors influencing the cost of the interview include the
respondents’ geographic proximity, the length and complexity of
the questionnaire, and the number of non-respondents
2.
Lack of Anonymity – Respondents are not anonymous in a
personal (face-to-face) interview and may be unwilling to
disclose certain information to the interviewer.
3.
Necessity for Callbacks – When a person selected for
interview cannot be reached the first time, a callback has to be
scheduled which result in extra cost and time spent.
27. Cont..
4.
Variance Effects – It has been shown that the demographic
characteristics of the interviewer can influence the answers of the
respondents. In one study, male interviewers had a much larger variance
of answers than female interviewers in a sample of most female
individuals
5.
Dishonesty – Interviewers cheat to make their life easier and save time
and effort
6.

7.
Global Considerations – Cultural aspects may influence peoples’
willingness to participate in an interview (e.g. Brutal Middle Eastern
cultures discourage females from being questioned by male interviewers)
28. Criteria for the Interviewer

29. Types of Topics in Questions
Behaviors -what a person has done or is doing.
Opinions/values -what a person thinks about the
topic.
Feelings -what a person feels rather than what a
person thinks.
Knowledge -to get facts about the topic.
Sensory -what people have seen, touched, heard,

30. After the Interview
Verify if the tape recorder, if
used, worked throughout the
interview.
Make
any notes on your
written notes.
Write down any observations
made during the interview.
31. Conclusion
So we can use the interview technique as
one of the data collection methods for the
research.
It makes the researcher to feel that the data
what he collected is true and honest and
original by nature because of the face to face
interaction.
