Qualitative research

A research method involving speaking directly to small samples of participants, such as focus groups and interviews, to gain insight into how and why people make decisions. This is aimed to gain a greater understanding of human behaviour, rather than collecting and analysing more general data gained through such methods as questionnaires.
