Exploring the atmosphere created by focus group interviews: comparing consumers' feelings across qualitative techniques
Article Abstract:
The perceptions of focus group participants towards focus group interviews were investigated and compared with the feelings of participants in a nominal group technique and a self-administered open-ended survey. Results showed that there was a difference in the perceptions among the respondents in the three types of surveys. Participants in focus groups thought the interview was more exciting and stimulating than the other two techniques. The atmosphere in focus groups is more appropriate only to certain qualitative research tasks.
