The Interview Session will consist of 3 parts the opening, the body (topic discussion),
and the ending/closing remarks of the session.
In the opening part of the interview, it introduces what will happen in the interview from
the beginning through the end. Part of it is the introducing the interviewee and
interviewer’s basic information, and small greetings to the interviewee so they feel easy
when we talk to them.
The interview can be opened with a question such as :
• Good morning/ Afternoon/ Evening, thank you for this opportunity that you gave
us, for giving your time, for you to share ideas about our Topic.
• How are you this day? How’s school, life, health, etc. (This question will serve as
a way to lighten the mood between the interviewee and the interviewer.
• After the pleasantries, you can now start asking about basic information like
name, age, current address, and course.
After all of this questions, you can now proceed to the topic discussion.
In the body or in the topic discussion of the interview, this is where we discuss the topic
that was chosen by our group. In methods of getting answers for, we organized the
questions in a rising manner where we started with basic questions about the topic, then
slowly ask questions that can broaden the overview of the topic, and through that we
can easily get the information that we need.
The first question can be like this:
• Can you define what is an Authoritarian parent in your own perspective?
• Based on your definition, can you say that this is what you experience?
• Can you elaborate what was like to have an authoritarian parent?
• How did it affect you in behavioral aspects, did it help you became more
disciplined or in the other way around made you reluctant to your parents?
(Reluctant path)
• So having an Authoritarian parent made you reluctant to them, making you
violate rules more or in such cases you are angry/mad at your parents. Do you
think that having an authoritarian parent can ruin one’s behavior?
(Disciplined path)
• So you said that your Authoritarian parents made you disciplined, Do you think
that having Authoritarian Parents can improve one’s behavior?
In Social Aspects, does having Authoritarian Parents limit you in going to social
gatherings like parties, sleepovers w/ friends, or like going out with them.
(With Social Gatherings)
• You said that you were allowed to go out with your friends, and have parties that
are alike, how strict can they be when it comes to the time that you should go
home, what will you be doing there, where are you going. Can you elaborate on
how strict can be your parents to you just when you are going out with your
friends?
• Let’s say that you got home late, what will be the consequences that you will
face?
(Little to No Social Gatherings at all)
• Due to lack in experience or like gatherings with friends, what do you feel about
this?
• Of course, there are times that we want to go outside with friends, have a social
life, how far will you go just for them to let you go out with friends?
• And when the time comes that your parents agreed that you can go out with
friends, what was the process just for them to let you have this opportunity?
• What was the feeling when the time that you were given this opportunity?
• Now let’s head into your studies, does your parents pressure you in your
studies?
• Can you share with us, on how they pressure you when it comes to studies?
• If you met their expectations, what are their initial reaction towards you?
• Does their reaction make you happy or contented?
• What if you didn’t meet their expectations, what’s their reaction towards it?
• Through their reaction, what did you feel about it?
After all this questions, we can now head into the closing part or the ending of the
interview.
In the closing part of the interview, this serves as the conclusion of your discussion with
them, finalizing things, ideas that you have gathered in the said interview.
We can again start questioning them like this:
Now with all of your answers, what do you think is the reason why they’re strict towards
you?
Do you think that parents should be like that?
In the future, there’s a chance that you will also have a family of your own, will you be
like your parents being strict to their child/children?
With all of that we are now done in the interview, we can close the interview by giving
thanks to them such as:
Thank you again for your participation, and we can assure you that you are a big help to
us.
