Advantages And Disadvantages Of The Structured Interview Method
Abstract
This article provides an in-depth analysis of the theoretical foundations, advantages, and limitations of the structured interview method. It highlights the method’s ability to standardize data collection, increase objectivity, and facilitate statistical processing in research. Furthermore, the study discusses the limitations of structured approaches, such as reduced flexibility and insufficient depth in capturing contextual information. The findings indicate that while the structured interview is an effective tool for empirical research, it should be applied with careful methodological consideration.
