Summary:

Conducting qualitative research in psychology can (and should) be a highly rewarding and engaging experience for you-the researcher-and your participants. It is your responsibility to ensure that your study is carried out professionally and ethically. Yet, establishing a professional and ethical approach to online qualitative research, including carrying out qualitative interviews online, can present new challenges, requires careful thinking in advance, and demands adaptation to the context. This guide presents ideas for ways of thinking reflectively about your role as a researcher and the ethical decisions you must make along your research journey together with tangible tactics and evidence-based strategies to support you in feeling confident and competent in carrying out your qualitative research in psychology online. Written by practitioner psychologists who supervise online qualitative research in psychology, this guide draws on our combined experiences accumulated through involvement in multiple qualitative research projects conducted online, including in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our insights also have been drawn from our experiences of leading research quality and ethics panels and committees as well as the work we do as psychologists working professionally with sensitive data and vulnerable communities. Since the pandemic, doing research online has become much more commonplace, almost the rule rather than the exception, so it is paramount that students are guided to conduct this work rigorously and ethically. This guide aims to lead you through some of the most important practical, technical, interpersonal, and ethical considerations when you do qualitative research in psychology online.
