  2. Advantages: • More sociable than a one-to-one interview • Raises unexpected issues for exploration • Low cost, can get results relatively quickly • Increases the sample size by talking with several people at once [Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focus_group]

  3. Disadvantages: • Less control than one-on-one interview • Time can be lost on irrelevant issues • Tough to analyse – talking is in reaction to other group member comments • Groups are variable and may be difficult to assemble • May be too few members for a representative sample [Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focus_group]
