This study investigates how a researcher's social representations influence interview analysis, using transcripts presented to 28 students in a special-education research course. Students formed three groups, received identical excerpts with different interviewee characterizations, and produced interpretive, descriptive, and thematic analyses. Results show negative representations in groups linked to public or private schooling and positive representations when intellectual disability was specified, highlighting the need for training to prevent biased outcomes.",{"@graph":14,"@context":72},[15,34,55],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/healthcare/","Healthcare",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/influence-of-researchers-social-representations-in-analysis-of-interviews-a-study-in-the-field-of-special-education/452394/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/influence-of-researchers-social-representations-in-analysis-of-interviews-a-study-in-the-field-of-special-education/452394.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Aditya","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-29","2026-09-30",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":33},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",{"@type":56,"mainEntity":57},"FAQPage",[58,64,68],{"name":59,"@type":60,"acceptedAnswer":61},"What does the article examine about interview analysis?","Question",{"text":62,"@type":63},"It investigates how a researcher's social representations can influence the analysis of interview data and students' interpretations of the same transcript excerpt.","Answer",{"name":65,"@type":60,"acceptedAnswer":66},"How were the participants organized in the study?",{"text":67,"@type":63},"Twenty-eight students were divided into three groups.

The three groups were asked to perform the analysis of interview and hand in a writing document describing their analysis. The data revealed that the students carried out interpretive synthesis, descriptive synthesis and thematic analysis. Interpretations of content data indicated that participants in Groups 1 and 3 attributed negative representations to the interviewee and/or to public or private school. In contrast, participants in Group 2, who received the description that the interviewee had intellectual disabilities, attributed positive representations to the interviewee and to the special education school. The conclusion indicates the urgency for theoretical and practical training of young researchers regarding analysis of interviews so that the representations do not lead to biased results. The comparison of the results with an earlier similar study points to a probable change in representations of people with intellectual disabilities.  \nKeywords: Special Education; Social Representation; Analysis of Interview.  \nInfluencia de las representaciones sociales del investigador en el análisis de los datos delas entrevistas: un estudio en el campo de la educación especial  \nResumen: Las representaciones sociales son valores y ideas socialmente compartidas y transmitidaspor un grupo de personas.
