Question

Semi structured interviews use open ended questions that are typically asked of all participants in a predetermined order.  The questions are directive and read exactly as it’s worded to avoid changing the intent of the question in addition to asking all of the questions that apply. Participants are encouraged to elaborate and follow trains of thought.

True

False

Answer 1

Statement is False

Reason why statement is false:

A semi-structured interview is a type of interview in which the interviewer asks only a few predetermined questions while the rest of the questions are not planned in advance. In semi-structured interviews, some questions are predetermined and asked to all candidates, while others arise spontaneously in a free-flowing conversation. Thus, order of question may differ from one participant to another. In addition, the interviewer may rephrase the questions and how they are asked depending on the individual participants.
