TLDR
The Problemzentrierte Interview (PZI) as mentioned in this paper is ein theoriegenerierendes Verfahren, das den vermeintlichen Gegensatz zwischen Theoriegeleitetheit and Offenheit dadurch aufzuheben versucht, dass der Anwender seinen Erkenntnisgewinn als induktiv-deduktives Wechselspiel organisiert.
Abstract
Das problemzentrierte Interview (PZI) ist ein theoriegenerierendes Verfahren, das den vermeintlichen Gegensatz zwischen Theoriegeleitetheit und Offenheit dadurch aufzuheben versucht, dass der Anwender seinen Erkenntnisgewinn als induktiv-deduktives Wechselspiel organisiert. Entsprechende Kommunikationsstrategien zielen zum einen auf die Darstellung der subjektiven Problemsicht. Zum anderen werden die angeregten Narrationen durch Dialoge erganzt, die Resultat ideenreicher und leitfadengestutzter Nachfragen sind. Theoretisches Wissen entsteht im Auswertungsprozess durch Nutzen elastischer Konzepte, die in der empirischen Analyse fortentwickelt und mit empirisch begrundeten "Hypothesen" am Datenmaterial erhartet werden.
