Descrizione

This article aims to develop a methodological reflection about advantages and disadvantages of the use of pre-existing groups for focus groups. The introductory paragraph deals briefly with the origins and definition of the focus group technique. In the second paragraph, the scientific literature concerning the use of pre-existing groups or groups of strangers for focus groups is reviewed. The third and fourth paragraphs are dedicated to the presentation of two recent empirical studies, carried out on two NPOs in Emilia Romagna using focus groups with pre-existing groups. From the analysis of the two case studies, the validity of the use of pre-existing groups within the focus groups technique emerges.
