Логические схемы обоснования выборки для качественных интервью: «восьмиоконная» модель

A logical scheme to justify the size and content of the sample in qualitative research is proposed. Axial characteristics for sample design are defined: expertness (discourse competence) and typicality. An original method for designing a qualitative research sample is demonstrated by giving examples from the field practice, including ways of sample correction with the use of research interview. It is noted that a group process of building a “8-window sample model” supports the methodological reflection of the researcher. The dependency between the quality and content of the key research question and the size and quality of the sample is demonstrated. Different theoretical and empirical approaches to the justification of the optimal sample size in qualitative research are considered.
