Summary:<\/p>\n
Researched a unique article on Google Scholar, and stumbled upon a great read.\u00a0 The piece was titled The Walking Interview: Methodology, mobility, and pace, and was written by two authors, James Evans and Phil Jones.\u00a0 In the article, Evans and Jones relayed findings from a study that compared two interview practices: the common, sedentary one, and the more informal interview that involves movement.\u00a0 Since the early to mid 2000\u2019s, emphasis on mobility in interviews has been studied by researchers in the social science field.\u00a0 Difference in walking interviews compared to sedentary interviews that are in motion. What we see in the article is an experiment conducted on random residents of a town that either have a walking interview, a sedentary one, or both at different time intervals.\u00a0 For context, the\u00a0 experiment took place in an area known as Digbeth, which can be found in Birmingham, England.\u00a0 This area was ideal because of the varying landscape, which a person may typically industrial buildings and apartments to canals and parks.\u00a0 GPS was used to track movements, and take some pressure away from the interviewer in taking down notes and vantage points.\u00a0 In addition, the tracking system can gain the quantitative data that most interviews lack.\u00a0 Some key takeaways resulted in the end, one of them being that walking interviews last longer.\u00a0 Typically due to the fact that once the researcher stopped posing questions, the sitting interview usually expired. However, while walking, outside stimuli could trigger continued conversation.\u00a0 Weather and noise during the walking interviews did not show any statistical significance, however, the article does mention that could be skewed by the relatively low amount of data points and pretty similar weather days.\u00a0 For beginner researchers, gathering data through a walking interview may be more beneficial because of the stimulated interviewee. However, a drawback to the walking method is that the environment can distract participants, and a sedentary approach is more reliable if autobiographical content is desired.\u00a0 For my project, interviews could be helpful in several different ways.\u00a0 Being interested in recruiting and the skills that are required to land great recruits, whether it be sports or business, conducting interviews is an integral part of that process.\u00a0 It will be nice to have some sort of knowledge on the scientific side of interviews, because important decisions can be made off great or poorly executed interviews with desired participants.\u00a0 In addition to learning about being a better recruiter, interviews can also be used to warn new individuals to the harshness and possible punishments of recruiting violations.\u00a0 Adds an emotional tone, which is personalized and should resonate with the audience more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
