SUMMARY
The focus group is able to produce meaningful information and do so in
a manner that shows respect for traditions and uses language and culture
differences as advantages. For focus groups to work, however, the researcher
must be alert to certain modifications to the procedures. The researcher
must be sensitive to establishing an environment where these individuals
feel comfortable in talking. The researcher must approach each audience
with respect, seeking their wisdom. When the researcher meets these expectations,
the focus group yields impressive results.
