@Steve Portigal :用户访谈是了解用户体验的有效方法,因为它能直接与产品或服务的使用者沟通,从而获得第一手资料。访谈可以是结构化、半结构化或非结构化的,并且可以在不同的环境中进行,包括线下和线上,以及用户所在的环境中。访谈的目的是探索,而不是仅仅收集简单的答案。访谈过程本身也是一种学习体验,它能改变研究人员对用户、问题和机会的理解。 @Therese Fassenden :用户访谈与问卷调查相比,能够更深入地了解用户行为背后的原因,获得更丰富的定性数据,并帮助研究人员更好地理解用户的情感和体验。用户访谈能够捕捉到问卷调查难以获得的细微差别和情感信息。 Therese Fassenden:用户访谈并非适用于所有情况,在某些情况下,A/B 测试或其他定量研究方法可能更适合。选择哪种方法取决于研究问题和目标。用户访谈可能无法捕捉到所有信息,一些难以观察到的行为或事件可能需要结合其他研究方法,例如日记研究等,来补充用户访谈的不足。 Steve Portigal:过去十年,用户访谈在实践中发生了显著变化,包括企业内部建立了专门的用户研究团队,研究人员的角色也更加成熟和被重视。远程用户访谈的兴起,为研究带来了新的机遇和挑战。虽然远程访谈在便利性和包容性方面具有一定优势,但也损失了面对面交流的某些重要方面,例如非语言交流和现场环境的观察。尽管方法和参与者可能会随着时间的推移而变化,但其核心——即与用户建立联系并深入倾听——在过去十年中保持不变。提升用户访谈技能需要持续的学习和实践,并不断反思自身在访谈过程中的不足之处,例如避免在问题中加入答案,从而确保访谈的客观性和有效性。
