1. Quotes are required to be on separated paragraphs.
2. When referring to a quote from an interviewee you can just say in brackets at the end of the quote for example (local councillor for Green Party) or (Member of Road Haulage Association) etc.
3. Each section should reflect each of the questions that have been turned into a theme, so for example, question 2 in the interview questions asked the following:
‘Do you feel that the public understands the implications of high carbon transport for the environment? Explain your answer’? When it comes to reporting the interview answers that were received for this question, the sub-heading would be:
‘Views on public’s understanding of the implications of high carbon transport’.
In this section you would then state how many of the interviewees stated that the public does understand and what quotes back this up. However, because this is a qualitative study rather than quantitative you don’t say things like 5 interviewees out of the 7 said……..you instead say the majority of interviewees said…. or if it was 3 out of 6 people who had the same viewpoint you might say….half the interviewees had this viewpoint whilst the other half had a different viewpoint.
This is the Results and Analysis chapter, which means that you need to relate your interview findings with the previous already done literature you collected for chapter 2. This means that you will need to in each section that you report the findings include an analysis that links with the literature.
This analysis bit should come after you report each finding in each section. In the example uploaded, you will see how the student reports the results for each theme and then in each themed section the student links with the literature by saying how this finding relates to what was said in the literature. That part is the analysis.
