在社会研究中，使用数字通信技术已变得越来越普遍。然而，这种技术在定性纵向研究(QLR)中的潜力却鲜有人关注。本文探讨了将互联网视频通话(如Skype、FaceTime、Google Hangout)作为一种新的数据收集模式引入QLR研究的影响，该研究主要通过在参与者家中进行传记访谈来生成数据。这篇论文借鉴了“你的空间”项目，这是一项长达十年的研究，跟踪调查了英国各地多达52名年轻人的生活。作为ESRC国家研究方法中心的11个“方法学创新项目”之一，该项目的最新阶段调查了从实物同时出席访谈转变为远程模式对QLR研究的关键问题的影响，如样本维护、研究关系的连续性和融洽。在这样做的过程中，它评估了互联网视频通话是一种在主要数据收集浪潮之间进行简短“追赶”采访的有用手段，还是作为进行案例研究密集采访的另一种方式。
The use of digital communication technologies has become increasingly commonplace in social research. Yet, sparse attention has been paid to the potential of such technologies in Qualitative Longitudinal Research (QLR). This paper explores the implications of introducing one such technology, internet video calls (e.g. Skype, FaceTime, Google Hangouts), as a new mode of data collection into an established QLR study that has primarily generated data using biographical interviews conducted in participants’ homes. The paper draws on the ‘Your Space’ project; a decade-long study following the lives of up to 52 young people from across Britain. Funded as one of eleven ESRC National Centre for Research Method’s ‘Methodological Innovation Projects’ the most recent phase of the project investigates the implications of shifting from physical co-present interviewing to remote modes on key issues for QLR research such as sample maintenance, research relationship continuity, and rapport. In doing so, it assesses whether internet video calls might be a useful means of conducting short ‘catch-up’ interviews between the main waves of data collection, or as an alternative way of carrying out case study intensive interviews.
