Unlock invaluable insights from participants with these skills. Perfect for aspiring researchers and seasoned experts alike, these skills will elevate your UXR interview practice to new heights!
Active Listening: The foundation of effective interviews lies in active listening. By attentively absorbing what participants say, noticing their tone, body language, and emotions, you gain a deeper understanding of their needs, motivations, and frustrations.
Empathy: Cultivating empathy towards participants is essential for creating a safe and comfortable environment. By showing genuine interest in their experiences, validating their perspectives, and making them feel heard, you foster open communication and encourage participants to share their honest thoughts.
Questioning Techniques: Skillfully employ a mix of open-ended and closed-ended questions to gather qualitative and quantitative data. Probing questions help you unearth underlying reasons and encourage participants to elaborate on their responses.
Objectivity: Avoid leading or biased questions that could influence participants' responses. By staying neutral and creating an atmosphere where participants feel free to express their true opinions and experiences, you foster authentic insights.
Flexibility and Adaptability: UXR interviews often take unpredictable turns. Embrace flexibility by adjusting your approach, improvising questions, and being open to unexpected insights. This flexibility allows you to explore uncharted territories and gain fresh perspectives.
Non-verbal Communication: Pay attention to participants' facial expressions, body language, and gestures. These subtle signals enrich your understanding of their emotions and experiences, augmenting the insights you gather.
Probing and Clarifying: Skillful probing and clarifying help you navigate through vague or incomplete answers. By seeking further details and clarifying ambiguities, you extract more precise and actionable information from participants.
Note-taking: Find a method that suits you, be it pen and paper or digital tools, and capture key insights, quotes, and observations accurately. These notes become a vital resource for analysis and future reference.
(if you use zoom for user interviews, you can use tools like otter.ai notetaker to automatically take notes during your session)
Interview Moderation: Set a comfortable pace, maintain a conversational tone, and skillfully guide participants through the interview process. A well-moderated interview encourages participants to share their thoughts freely.
Reflective Listening: Summarize the main points and key insights shared by the participant, ensuring mutual understanding. This technique not only validates participants' perspectives but also provides an opportunity for them to provide additional context, fostering a collaborative and inclusive research process.
