Andreas Witzel – författare

This book provides the first English language account of the interview method known as the PCI. Offering a way of collecting knowledge by means of involving people actively in the research process, the interviewer takes the role of a well-informed traveller. With careful preparation and planning, the interviewer sets out with priorities and expectations, but the story the interviewer tells about his journey depends on the people encountered along the road.

Novice and experienced interview researchers across the social, educational and health sciences will find this an invaluable guide to conducting interviews.

Andreas Witzel is senior researcher (retired) at the University of Bremen and former director of the Bremen Archive for Life Course Research.

Herwig Reiter is senior researcher in the Department of Social Monitoring and Methodology of the German Youth Institute in Munich.

Die Wiederverwendung bereits erhobener Interviewdaten als die am häufigsten verwendete qualitative Methode ist in Deutschland noch wenig verbreitet. Daher werden zunächst die Strategie und der Ertrag von qualitativen Sekundäranalysen zusammen mit Beispielen vorgestellt. Befunde einer Machbarkeitsstudie über Erfahrungen von Projektleitern mit Sekundäranalysen, Vorstellungen bzgl. zukünftiger Verwendungen von solchen Analysen, die Bereitschaft, eigene Daten einem Archiv zu überlassen und die Absicht, fremde Daten selbst zu nutzen, bilden das Fundament für das organisatorische Konzept und die Funktionen einer bundesweiten Serviceeinrichtung für Datennutzer und -geber
