Choosing the correct interview type

The Live Interviews in UXtweak include two main interview types: Study Interview and Freeform Interview. Here you can learn when you should use which interview type.

Study Interview 

This interview type is directly bound to a specific UX research approach. You should choose this type of interview when your study is focused on one research approach and you want to have the same structure of the interview for all participants. The Study Interviews are all about the study which is connected to the interview.

When you create a study interview, you need to choose one of the 9 available study types.

The setup of your chosen study type is the first step in preparing your Study Interview. After you are done with the setup of the study, you can move to planning the interviews.

Freeform Interview 

This interview type is all about not being strictly connected to one of the study types. It is best suited for conducting exploratory research and just talking to your participants. Another use can be if you want to combine multiple study approaches in one interview.

There is an option to include a custom link in your interview planning, which can be easily shared with the participants in the call. Since there is no study directly connected to this interview type, you will start the setup process with planning your interview right away.
