Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In projective interviewing, the researcher presents an ambiguous stimulus, such as a picture or word association, to elicit deeper, unconscious thoughts and feelings from the respondent. Probing is a technique used in all types of interviewing to encourage elaboration and clarification of responses. Structured interviewing involves specific, pre-determined questions and a set format. Unstructured interviewing allows for flexibility in questioning and conversation flow. Depth interviewing is a form of unstructured interviewing that focuses on exploratory and open-ended questions.
