1. What is the primary purpose of interviews in qualitative research?

To collect numerical data To obtain in-depth insights from participants To test hypotheses statistically To conduct experiments

2. A typical Focus Group Interview consists of:

2–3 participants 6–10 participants 20–30 participants More than 50 participants

3. In a Structured Interview, all questions are:

Flexible and adjustable Fixed and identical for all participants Optional Not prepared in advance

4. A key feature of Semi-Structured Interviews is:

No guide at all A flexible question guide with room for follow-up questions Strictly fixed questions Only yes/no responses

5. Unstructured Interviews are best used for:

Experimental research Exploratory or phenomenological studies Large-scale surveys Numerical analysis

6. The moderator in a Focus Group Interview must:

Answer all questions Guide the discussion and maintain focus Grade participants Avoid interacting

7. A major advantage of Focus Group Interviews is:

Minimal interaction Diverse perspectives and idea generation Participants stay silent Data is limited

8. A limitation of Unstructured Interviews is that:

Data is very uniform Data is difficult to analyse due to lack of structure It only allows short answers It cannot explore emotions

9. In Structured Interviews, researchers:

May freely change questions Cannot change the preset questions Avoid asking questions Only observe silently

10. The main purpose of Focus Group Interviews is to:

Evaluate individual performance Explore collective opinions and experiences Collect numerical data Perform experiments

11. Semi-Structured Interviews allow researchers to:

Read questions strictly Add probing questions as needed Avoid follow-ups Collect statistics only

12. The advantage of Structured Interviews is:

Highly consistent and comparable data Very flexible Completely unplanned Encourages long conversations

13. In an Unstructured Interview, the researcher acts as:

A strict instructor An active listener and reflective observer An examiner A timekeeper

14. Focus Group Interviews are NOT suitable for:

General topics Sensitive or personal issues Educational discussions Programme evaluation

15. Structured Interviews reduce:

Bias and inconsistency Participant freedom Data quality Clarity of responses

16. Semi-Structured Interviews are ideal for exploring:

Large populations Personal experiences and attitudes Pure statistics Laboratory data

17. Unstructured Interviews often produce:

Superficial data Rich and detailed data Only numerical data Predictable results

18. Moderators in Focus Groups must ensure:

Only one participant speaks Balanced participation and topic focus No discussion occurs Immediate scoring

19. Semi-Structured Interviews are considered a combination of:

Quantitative and experimental methods Structured and Unstructured interviews Surveys and lab tests Observation and questionnaires

20. Ethical interviewing requires the researcher to:

Expose participant identity Obtain informed consent and ensure confidentiality Force participants to answer Judge participant responses
