a focus group is NOT…a group interview; where the moderator asks questions and the participants individually provide answers.
![Page 6: Long Focus Group Feb 2008 Inst](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58847f931a28ab5e248b7e85/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
focus groups aresuccessful whenparticipants are able to talk to each other about the topic…
![Page 7: Long Focus Group Feb 2008 Inst](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58847f931a28ab5e248b7e85/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
advantages
produce moreinformation quicker and at less cost thanindividual interviews
![Page 8: Long Focus Group Feb 2008 Inst](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58847f931a28ab5e248b7e85/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
limitations results can’t be used to make statements about the wider community…
they can indicate a range of views and opinions, but not the distribution among the community
![Page 9: Long Focus Group Feb 2008 Inst](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58847f931a28ab5e248b7e85/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
they can paint a picture of what is socially acceptable in a community rather than what is really occurring or believed…
![Page 10: Long Focus Group Feb 2008 Inst](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58847f931a28ab5e248b7e85/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
limited value in exploring complex beliefs of individuals
in-depth interviews can be more appropriate
![Page 11: Long Focus Group Feb 2008 Inst](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58847f931a28ab5e248b7e85/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
asking someone
to explain their behavior
and intent is a psychological impossibility
![Page 12: Long Focus Group Feb 2008 Inst](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58847f931a28ab5e248b7e85/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
so…why is the truth so elusive?
![Page 13: Long Focus Group Feb 2008 Inst](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58847f931a28ab5e248b7e85/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Don’t confuse
confirmation
with consistency.
![Page 14: Long Focus Group Feb 2008 Inst](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58847f931a28ab5e248b7e85/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
It is not always easy to tell if people are telling you the truth.
It’s not always possible for people to get in touch with their emotions or motivations.
![Page 15: Long Focus Group Feb 2008 Inst](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58847f931a28ab5e248b7e85/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Beyond Listening: Learning the Secret Language of Focus Groups
(Bonnie Goebert)
Consumers aren’t dishonest; it’s just that most people don’t listen the right way.
![Page 16: Long Focus Group Feb 2008 Inst](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58847f931a28ab5e248b7e85/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
every moderator has a…
Naïve
Playful
Intellectual
Inquisitive side
![Page 17: Long Focus Group Feb 2008 Inst](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58847f931a28ab5e248b7e85/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
so, get over your need as a moderator to look or sound a certain way….
![Page 18: Long Focus Group Feb 2008 Inst](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58847f931a28ab5e248b7e85/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Prepare questions
before group.But, do not rely
on them word for word;
use them as a guideline.
![Page 19: Long Focus Group Feb 2008 Inst](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58847f931a28ab5e248b7e85/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
No flip charts; Use note takers
![Page 20: Long Focus Group Feb 2008 Inst](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58847f931a28ab5e248b7e85/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
questions to ask first
What problems / issues do you want answered?

![Page 21: Long Focus Group Feb 2008 Inst](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58847f931a28ab5e248b7e85/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
informality
relaxed playfulness, coupled with a
professional seriousness of purpose works best.
![Page 22: Long Focus Group Feb 2008 Inst](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58847f931a28ab5e248b7e85/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
consider the status of your participants
![Page 23: Long Focus Group Feb 2008 Inst](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58847f931a28ab5e248b7e85/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
People reveal more when they are relaxed and having a good time.
As long as…the moderator
does not trivialize
matters
![Page 24: Long Focus Group Feb 2008 Inst](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070513/58847f931a28ab5e248b7e85/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
