What’s the benefit of asking the questions to a group at once (other than time)? Ask them individually, isolated.

Yes. The IDI is preferred. Time and location constraints are why FG exist. And a robot researcher is almost preferred. Humans are social creatures, so part of the challenge of research is to get the respondant to be open/Frank.

Edit: IDI is InDividual Interview; FG=Focus Group
