My understanding is that the informational interview that we will be conducting will be for personal use and growth and will not need to be held to the same standards as a research interview would be. With research in the field we have to follow the strict guidelines of the APA. Protect the individuals privacy as best as humanly possible unless they intend harm, protect the individual from harm that would result from our conducting of the research, gain consent from the individual before conducting research and allow the individual to leave from the research at any time for any reason (APA, 2010). All of the guidelines are important but to me these are the big ones. For our interviews will be collecting information to help us learn and grow in the field we will most likely not being using the information for any research. If for some reason we think that the information will be used later on as a source we will want to achieve consent from the party we are interviewing, and record the responses accurately so that there is proper representation of that individual's answers for the future. If the individual does not want any of their answers to be used in any way in the future that would require siting then we need to respect that decision and keep their answers private. If I have any questions about my conduct or that of the person I am interviewing I could refer back to the APA guidelines, or just ask if I am doing something incorrectly and hopefully I will get an honest answer.
