Examine reasons why some sociologists choose to use interviews when conducting their research. Sociologists tend to carry out researches which are relevant to the study being inspected. This helps them to gather the data, correlations and confirms theories needed to fulfil certain questions. A way to find out specific research can be done through certain types of interviews, which are: * Structured Interviews - formal * Unstructured Interviews – informal * Semi-Structured Interviews – in-between formal & informal * Group Interviews An interview can involve the researcher asking subject-based questions to receive the information they need to know.

Once they have reached this point then the researcher must decide how to collect the data/information in which they want to share with the real world. The Case Study Method and Tool Case studies are methods in which usually an individual is observed but sometimes can be a setting such as a school, business, or neighborhood.
