Good observation- interviews attract a lot of curiosity and everybody wants to pitch in -
Rarely will you find a person alone to be interviewed- replies are compound replies with views of everybody around- that is fine - BUT PLS make a note of it in your transcript- mention who said what and who were the people present when the interview was taken - if contradictory voices were heard, mention that as well . When Mousumi was interviweing , the respondent's daughter answered many questions and her husband some more - that is perfectly ok -
the lady's views were shaped by people around her and boundaries between MY view and MY family's views is nearly not there in most cases - exceptions do exist and these are solid men and women , who know their mind and speak up

Also,
ReplyDeleteI observed that it’s better to use the 'pause' button in the recorder
than the stop one. Pausing involves jus sliding it, it hardly gets
noticed. But stopping will make a sound that might be distracting.
