Perkuliahan Psikodiagnostik 3 | Indepth Interview & Behavioral Event Interview (BEI) - Materi Kuliah

Summary

This transcript explores two interview techniques: Indep Interviews and Behavioral Event Interviews (BEI). Indep Interviews focus on gathering subjective, in-depth insights from the respondent, often in a relaxed, social setting, where the interviewer seeks to understand their views, emotions, and perspectives without judgment. On the other hand, BEI is more structured, aimed at gathering objective data on past behaviors and competencies, specifically about tasks or situations faced in the last 12-18 months. The document also emphasizes the importance of building rapport, handling emotional dynamics, and understanding the role of the interviewer in maintaining neutrality and professional boundaries.

Takeaways

• 😀 Indep interviews focus on gathering subjective data through deep, face-to-face conversations, where the interviewer seeks to understand the respondent's personal perspective and experiences.
• 😀 Rapport building is crucial in Indep interviews, as it creates a comfortable space for the respondent to open up and share insights. Without rapport, the interview may struggle to gather useful information.
• 😀 Indep interviews are conducted in a social setting, where the respondent feels comfortable, rather than in a sterile or unfamiliar environment.
• 😀 In Indep interviews, the interviewer must refrain from criticizing or challenging the respondent's answers; the goal is to collect data without imposing personal judgment.
• 😀 The concept of 'epoche' is important in Indep interviews, where the interviewer temporarily sets aside their own biases to fully listen and understand the respondent's viewpoint.
• 😀 If a respondent seeks intervention or help, the interviewer must politely redirect them to the appropriate professional, such as a psychologist, without taking on the role of providing direct help.
• 😀 Indep interviews are valuable for gathering deep insights into sensitive or complex issues, and they focus on capturing emotional nuances and subjective experiences.
• 😀 Data collected in Indep interviews can be overwhelming and may require significant time for analysis. This data is often subjective and must be cross-checked or triangulated for credibility.
• 😀 In contrast to Indep interviews, the Behavioral Event Interview (BEI) is more structured and focuses on objective data, especially relating to actions and results in specific situations.
• 😀 BEI uses the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to guide respondents in providing concrete examples of their behaviors from the past 12-18 months, ensuring the data is focused on real experiences.
• 😀 Both Indep and BEI interviews require interviewers to remain neutral, refrain from leading or influencing the responses, and ensure that the interview process remains professional and objective.

Q & A

What is the main difference between Independent Interviews and Behavioral Event Interviews?

Independent Interviews focus on gathering subjective data through in-depth, face-to-face conversations in a social setting, while Behavioral Event Interviews (BEI) focus on obtaining objective data based on past behaviors and experiences in critical situations over the last 12 to 18 months.

Why is face-to-face interaction preferred in Independent Interviews?

Face-to-face interaction is preferred in Independent Interviews because it allows the interviewer to observe non-verbal cues such as body language, facial expressions, and posture, which are essential for gathering comprehensive data beyond spoken words.

What role does 'epoche' play in conducting Independent Interviews?

'Epoche' refers to the practice of setting aside any preconceived notions or judgments during the interview. This approach helps the interviewer remain open to the respondent's perspective without imposing their own biases or criticisms on the answers provided.

How does an interviewer handle sensitive or emotionally charged responses in Independent Interviews?

The interviewer should remain neutral and avoid being provoked by emotional responses. They must maintain a professional demeanor, focusing on gathering data without becoming personally involved or offering unsolicited advice or criticism.

What is the significance of 'building rapport' in Independent Interviews?

Building rapport is crucial in Independent Interviews because it helps create a comfortable environment where the respondent feels at ease to share personal and sensitive information. A good rapport ensures the interview proceeds smoothly and the respondent provides authentic responses.

Why is it important not to intervene or correct a respondent’s thoughts during an Independent Interview?

It is important not to intervene or correct a respondent's thoughts because the goal of an Independent Interview is to collect subjective data. The interviewer's role is to listen and gather the respondent’s perspective without imposing corrections or altering their viewpoint.

What should an interviewer do if the interviewee expresses a desire for psychological help during an Independent Interview?

If an interviewee requests psychological help during an Independent Interview, the interviewer should refer them to a relevant professional, such as a psychologist or psychiatrist, as the interview process is not designed for therapeutic intervention.

How does the concept of 'subjective data' apply in Independent Interviews?

In Independent Interviews, subjective data refers to the personal insights, feelings, and perspectives of the respondent, which are not based on objective facts but rather on their own experiences and interpretations of events.

What is the role of 'triangulation' in ensuring the credibility of data in Independent Interviews?

Triangulation involves cross-checking data from different sources or perspectives to ensure its accuracy and consistency. This process helps validate the credibility of the information collected in Independent Interviews.

What are the potential risks of becoming emotionally attached to a respondent during an Independent Interview?

Becoming emotionally attached to a respondent can cloud the interviewer's objectivity and professionalism, leading to biased interpretations of data. It may also lead to ethical issues, such as forming inappropriate relationships or failing to maintain boundaries.
