[Problems of qualitative interviewing in the analysis of interactions in multi-generation-families (author's transl)].
In order to explore structures of intra-familiar interaction, 48 qualitative interviews were taken in 16 multi-generation-families. The experience gained from them can be reported as follows: The talks proceeded in the most easiest way when the character of an exchange of experience was given to the interviews. In the interviews generally three physes could be observed: firstly people were reserved, then unbend, and finally open-minded and communicative. Socially desired patterns of reply could be avoided by the necessity to refer to definite familiar events. Members of the lower classes just reported definite experiences (episodes), members of the middle classes connected their experiences to reflections upon these experiences, and members of the upper class evaded to generally discussible categories. The qualitative interview corresponds to the necessaries of older interview-partner, but problems result from their lower emotional endurance.
