An unstructured interview is a type of interview where the questions are not set in advance. Instead, the interviewer asks open-ended questions and lets the conversation flow naturally. This allows the person being interviewed to express their thoughts and feelings in their own words. In GCSE Sociology, unstructured interviews are important because they can provide deep, detailed insights into people's experiences and opinions. They help sociologists understand the reasons behind people's behaviours and attitudes. However, because there is no fixed list of questions, it can be difficult to compare the results with other interviews.
