Data analysis of interviews

Abstract EN

This research investigation presents and studies a procedure that can be adopted in the analysis of data, which emanate from interviews.

Indeed, the procedure consists of two main phases, the first obeys to the technical, rigorous and mathematical parameters which can be utilized in the process of examining the data collected with the help of an interview as a research tool.

The second phase is evidently less empirical with regard to the provision of countable and testable information; however, it would be quite useful in the first steps of the study of the data originating from an interview, especially in terms of time management, dismissal of unnecessary details and focus on the core corpus of the data.

Within this context, the researchers hypothesize that such a binary-stage procedure is inter-complementary because a technical analysis associated with a number of socio-psychological tips of data management would represent a very useful combination of a credible data analysis procedure which would help particularly students and novice researchers in their scientific inquiries.
