Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Several approaches can be used to collect qualitative self-report data. Researchers use completely unstructured interviews when they have no preconceived view of the information to be gathered. They aim to learn about respondents' perceptions and experiences without imposing their own views. Researchers begin by asking a grand tour question such as, What happened when you first learned that you had AIDS? Subsequent questions are guided by initial responses. Ethnographic and phenomenological studies often rely on unstructured interviews.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Qualitative researchers do not have a set of questions that must be asked in a specific order and worded in a given way. Instead, they start with general questions and allow respondents to tell their stories in a naturalistic fashion. Qualitative self-reports, usually obtained through interviews, tend to be conversational. Interviewers encourage respondents to define the important dimensions of a phenomenon and to elaborate on what is relevant to them, rather than relying on investigators' a priori notions of relevance.
