[Euromixproject.rch] Advancing research in couples studies

[Francesco Cerchiaro]

Dear all,

My article "Advancing research in couple studies. Why, when and how to
combine individual and couple interview" is finally out, published in the
methodological journal "Quality & Quantity".

Using this link <https://rdcu.be/cOq2p> you can freely access the article.

In this article I have addressed the question of how to interview a couple.
Some scholars assume that individual interviews are the best way of
inquiring into couple processes because they bring the interviewer closer
to the interviewee “voice”, while others suggest that couple interviews are
preferable as they result in the production of “richer data” and avoid
ethical problems of privacy and consent between the partners. Drawing on my
empirical research on mixed families, in this article I present an
analytical three-pole scheme to organize the combined use of individual and
couple interviews. It concludes that the central issue at stake is not
which interview modes produce “richer data”, but what data the two types of
interview generate and how the research design may benefit from its
combined use. Finally, it is discussed how different ethical problems may
arise from each interview mode.

I hope you will find it interesting and useful for your own research.

Best wishes,

Francesco
