The purposes of ‘qualitative research interviewing’ are to introduce the reader to different approaches and frameworks for conducting structured and semi-structured interviews. This text is a fully comprehensive resource which discusses different conceptual frameworks available for analysing and making sense of interview transcripts. Examples of conceptual frameworks and guidelines are provided for conducting evaluations of transcripts and theoretical inferences from the data to build hypothesis or general models of typologies.
