Interviews and participants Sample Clauses

Interviews and participants. Qualitative studies that incorporate interviews as part of their data collection strategy are able to profit from conversations with participants; these tend to be based on open-ended questions that the researcher poses to the interviewees. These conversations generate new information and contribute to understanding the meaning of the participants’ opinions and views regarding the topic of inquiry (Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxxxx 2009, 229). The present research employed semi-structured interviews. Conducting interviews requires that questions be formulated beforehand to help the interviewer steer the direction of the discussion. The flexibility of semi-structured interviews allows for deeper explorations of the participants’ answers (Xxxxxxxx 2009). Even when a follow-up interview is not needed, the initial interview offered opportunities to further probe for insights on particular issues (Xxxxxxx 2006). The interviews for this study allowed public officials, heritage managers, and collectors to anonymously express their opinions regarding heritage legislation, management, and public access to Indigenous heritage collections. Anonymity and confidentiality were provisions established in the interview protocol to allow participants a greater sense of security in expressing themselves in the interviews (Xxxxxxx 2006). Such an assurance of anonymity and confidentiality helped to allow strong sentiments to surface in the interview questions’ documented responses. Further, anonymity was an important part of the interview protocol as there is a widespread concern over repercussions—such as retaliation or ouster— for open criticism on the part of public officials in politically assigned posts or well-known heritage personalities or sponsors. These concerns have been present in the heritage field for years as behind-the-scenes anecdotes among heritage professionals; colleagues share information of the care one must take when criticizing the conditions of museums or archaeological sites or heritage-related events. Therefore, to protect their confidentiality during the transcription and analysis of the interviews, numbers were assigned to each participant and only their field of work was noted. Information that could identify the participants was withheld when reporting the results of the current study.
