One-on-One Template

One-on-one interviews have been widely used for many years as a key method in qualitative research. They involve one-on-one sessions between a researcher and a participant, either in person, over the phone, or through video calls using platforms such as Teams or Zoom. One-on-one interviews offer an opportunity to delve deeply into consumer behaviors, thoughts, emotions, and requirements. They facilitate authentic conversations with contributors, yielding deeper insights compared to unmoderated research.

What is a One-on-One Interview?

A one-on-one interview is a method used in qualitative research where an interviewer engages in a direct conversation with a single participant. This format allows for a focused and personalized interaction between the interviewer and the interviewee.

Such interviews are widely employed across various fields, such as social research, market research, consumer research, and user research.

During a one-on-one interview, the interviewer typically prepares questions or topics to discuss with the interviewee. These questions guide the conversation, but there's room for flexibility and exploration of unexpected insights. The aim is to gather detailed information, opinions, experiences, or perspectives from the interviewee.

These interviews can be structured, semi-structured, or unstructured:

• Structured Interview: The interviewer follows a predetermined set of questions in a fixed order to ensure consistency in data collection.

• Semi-Structured Interview: Core questions are asked, but the interviewer can explore additional topics or delve deeper into specific responses.

• Unstructured Interview: The conversation is open-ended, with no predetermined questions, allowing for a natural flow of discussion.

One-on-one interviews are valuable for obtaining detailed, rich data, exploring complex issues, and understanding individual perspectives. They are particularly useful when researchers need a deep understanding of a subject and want to explore nuances, emotions, and personal experiences.

The success of a one-on-one interview often relies on the interviewer's skills in building rapport, asking probing questions, and creating a comfortable environment for the interviewee to share their thoughts and experiences.
