In dyadic interviews, two participants interact in response to open-ended research questions. There are few precedents for using dyadic interviews as a technique for qualitative research. We introduce this method largely in comparison to focus groups, because both represent forms of interactive interviewing. We do not, however, view dyadic interviews as miniature focus groups, and treat them as generating their own opportunities and issues. To illustrate the nature of dyadic interviewing, we present summaries of three studies using this method. In the first study, we used dyadic interviews and photovoice techniques to examine experiences of people with early-stage dementia. In the second study, we explored the experiences of staff who provided services to elderly housing residents. In the third study, we examined barriers and facilitators to substance abuse treatment among Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in Hawaii. We conclude with a discussion of directions for future research using dyadic interviews.
在对偶访谈中，两个参与者针对开放式研究问题进行互动。对偶访谈作为一种定性研究技术，几乎没有先例。我们主要将这种方法与焦点小组进行比较，因为两者都代表了互动式访谈的形式。然而，我们并不将对偶访谈视为微型焦点小组，而是将其视为产生自身机会和问题的形式。为了说明对偶访谈的性质，我们介绍了使用这种方法的三项研究的总结。在第一项研究中，我们使用对偶访谈和影像声音技术来研究早期痴呆症患者的经历。在第二项研究中，我们探讨了为老年住房居民提供服务的工作人员的经历。在第三项研究中，我们研究了夏威夷亚裔美国人和太平洋岛民滥用药物治疗的障碍和促进因素。最后，我们讨论了使用对偶访谈进行未来研究的方向。
