Focus group discussions were first used in market research and later adopted in sociology. Today, they’re a recognized and versatile qualitative research method applied in a wide range of fields.

In a focus group discussion, you, as the researcher, bring together a small group of experts to discuss your research topic, with you acting as the moderator.

What makes this method unique is its ability to generate a rich variety of interpersonal interactions in a short amount of time. These interactions can uncover more detailed background information than one-on-one interviews typically provide (Krueger, 1994).

This method isn’t limited to a single group—you can organize multiple groups with different participants or reconvene the same group at various stages of your research.

Unlike observations, focus group discussions take place in a controlled setting that you design. The discussions are collaborative, encouraging the exchange of new ideas, opinions, and reactions. The aim isn’t to spark heated debates but rather to foster thoughtful and meaningful dialogue.
