On the Applicability of Telephone Interviews in Qualitative Social Research}, volume={13}, url={https://www.qualitative-research.net/index.php/fqs/article/view/1758}, DOI={10.17169/fqs-13.3.1758}, abstractNote={<p>Semi-structured interviews using interview schedules are quite common today in qualitative research. They are usually done in the form of face-to-face interviews. However, for some research questions, or under specific circumstances, telephone interviews could be a viable alternative. In this  article we explore the viability  of face-to-face vs. telephone interviews vis-a-vis quantitative and qualitative research findings. The qualitative material presented in this article comes from a study of the private and professional lives of researchers in childless relationships.</p><p>URN: <a href="http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:0114-fqs120329">http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:0114-fqs120329</a></p>}, number={3}, journal={Forum Qualitative Sozialforschung / Forum: Qualitative Social Research}, author={Niederberger, Marlen and Ruddat, Michael}, year={2012}, month={Jul.} }
