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.

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> ER -
