Interview Guide

According to guidelines for interviewing, I will treat the questions with

great flexibility. The conversation around the topic should gain more
depth as the participants proceed. To escape, as much as I can, the
imposition of my own assumptions and opinions on the participants, I
would like to keep this interviewing guide adaptable, assuming that the
questions are only an initial base from which to begin conversation.
