New Developments in Qualitative Interview Research

这个项目的目的是在定性研究的语言学和反思性转向的背景下，重新审视定性访谈研究的概念和逻辑，从而得到新的访谈实践准则。我们的结论如下。(1)在概念上，我们不应以传统的“挖掘”模式来构想访谈，而应以符号互动主义者开创并不断革新的另一种“协商”模式来构想访谈。该模型表明，访谈是研究人员和参与者之间的对话互动；因此，无论是实证材料（叙述）还是研究成果，都应该被视为在特定语境中相互作用的产物。(2)在逻辑上，我们指出了定性访谈研究过程的七个阶段：主题化、设计、访谈、订阅、分析、验证和报告。虽然这些阶段在实际的研究过程中是重叠的，有时甚至是混淆的，但研究人员应该对每个阶段的特点和研究问题保持敏感。我们提出了每个阶段的实践指导方针，以确保作为系统知识生产的研究质量。

The purpose of this project is to reexamine the concept and logic of qualitative interview research in the light of the linguistic and reflexive turn in qualitative research, and then to get the new guidelines for interviewing practices. Our conclusions are as follows. (1) As for the concept, we should conceive the interview not in the conventional "mining" model but in the alternative "negotiation" model that symbolic interactionists originated and have been renovating. This model suggests that interviewing is a conversational interaction between researchers and participants ; therefore both the empirical materials (narratives) and research findings should be treated as the products through the interaction in the particular contexts. (2) As for the logic, we point out seven phases of qualitative interview research processes : thematizing, designing, interviewing, subscribing, analyzing, verifying, and reporting. Although these phases are overlapped and sometimes confused in the actual research processes, researchers should make themselves sensitized to the distinctive features and research problems of each phase. We suggest the practical guidelines in each phase to secure the quality of research as systematic knowledge production.
