SOCIAL TERM: Ομάδες εστίασης / Focus groups

APPROVED DEFINITIONS FOR TERM: 1

TERM TYPE: Theoretical

DEFINITION (1): The method of focus groups forms in qualitative social research a methodological tool to raise data and information, in the context of a particular and well pre-organized group in a particular setting. (Morgan,1997),(Ιωσηφίδης,2008).

DEFINITION TYPE: Nominal

DEFINITION WRITER: Savvakis Emmanouil

DEFINITION COMMENTS: Through a process... of direct interaction between the researcher and participants of the group (i.e. unemployed single mothers, etc) a specific and clearly defined theme-research topic is plausibly discussed. The method of focus groups requires a standard interaction between the researcher and the participants and a detailed, well-organized and carefully structured discussion among the participants. Another way of conceptual and empirical defining this particular method is the fact that it is a group interview technique which is largely different from participant observation and personal interview.
