Focus group as a research method

Bryman and Bell (2011; Chapter 19) specifically examines the topic of Focus Group as a research method. I produce an agenda for discussion:

  1. Main uses of focus groups
  2. How to conduct a focus group
    • Record and transcribe
    • Determine the number of groups
    • Determine the size of a group
    • Determine extent of moderator involvement
    • Select participants
    • Manage the focus group sessions
  3. Using focus group from a feminist perspective
  4. Limitations of using focus groups
A related diagram from me:




I would like you to study Chapter 19 of Bryman and Bell for a comprehensive introduction to this subject.
