SUMMARY In qualitative research, in-depth interviewing is an important research tool for data gathering, with the researcher as the measuring instrument. The quali- tative interview is flexible and dynamic and has been referred to as nondirective, unstructured, non- standardised and open-ended. Taylor and Bogdan (1984:77) define the qualitative interview as re- peated face-to-face encounters between the re- searcher and informants directed toward under- standing informants' perspectives on their lives, ex- periences, or situations as expressed in their own words. Some authors stress the role of talk as well as various ways of communication during interview- ing. Although the qualitative interview - like other data- gathering techniques - has its strengths and weak- nesses, it is argued that this method is a tool and that its utility depends largely on its pertinence to the research question. It is also argued that its strengths and weaknesses are functions of the competencies and skills of the researcher using this tool to elicit the required information. The following aspects are discussed: ♦ Qualitative interviews are particularly suitable for studying people's understanding of their world, for describing their experiences and self- understanding, and for clarifying and elaborating their perspectives of their world (Seidman, 1998:3-4). In gathering such information, the researcher should be int erested in people and the subjects should be studied in their own set- ting to discover the meanings the subjects at- tach to their behaviour. Data gathering presup- poses a certain familiarity with the subjects' cul- ture.
