Abstract

The need for culturally responsive family interviewing practices is becoming more critical as researchers respond to the demands of the changing demographic characteristics of the nation and to the family-centered approach demanded by federal legislation. The authors share their reflections and experiences as researchers in interviewing Hispanic parents of young children. Information presented in this article was gained through personal interaction with parents, debriefing as a research team, and the process of self-awareness. Researchers' reflections represent a conscious effort to clarify methods and strategies and to anticipate ethical dilemmas while interviewing Hispanic families. These reflections offer recommendations that ultimately will lead others into culturally responsive research and interviewing practices. The basic "Triple A" practices discussed in this article could be used with other groups of color.
