Interviews

I'm still scheduling people for interviews. I had two interviews lined up for last week, but one person dropped at the last minute but I was still able to interview one person. Now, I just have to transcribe the interview and compare it to my previous interviews. With the exception of one person, all of my interviews thus far have been with women in their early 20's. I realize that I need to find more age ranges to gain a better understanding of how beauty ideas vary with age. I have an interview lined up for Thursday and hopely I can schedule more between now and tomorrow. So far, I have interviewed two women who wear their hair natural and two women who wear their hair relaxed. The responses have been somewhat similiar, although the women wear their hair differently. I think my interviews will be more telling once I have more of a variety.

  1. That's thinking like a real sociologist, when you're pushing yourself to get age ranges. Shoot, I even wonder about having some conversations with kids. Nothing formal, mind you, just the kinds interactions you have naturally, in passing, and then go back and write down as much as you can remember--downright greedy for the data!
