Moderating
-
-
The moderator should have enough knowledge about the topic to understand what the participants are saying.
He or she does not need to be an expert on the topic but should understand common terms that will be used in the discussion.
It sometimes helps to have a moderator who looks like the participants. This can make the participants more comfortable and give the impression that “this person will understand what I have to say.”
The researcher should consider things like gender, age, race, and ethnicity.
For some topics, these issues may not matter, but for other topics they are very important.
For example, women may be more willing to talk about breastfeeding with a woman than a man.
As mentioned before, the moderator should be fluent in the participants’ language.
