Though efforts were made to avoid adopting an interview style that was too blunt or interrogatory, there were numerous occasions when language or communication difficulties made it necessary to ask interviewees to explain exactly what they meant.
We adopted an exploratory, interview-based methodology.

We adopted a semi-structured interview format so that participants could consider and explain their perspectives on the proposed approach, but opted to conduct these by telephone to reduce travel and maximize convenience for participants, several of whom held senior roles.

She even convinced me to adopt a behavioral interview guide for graduate recruiting!
The research adopted a qualitative approach, interviewing a range of stakeholders about their perspectives on the topic, and analysing the data using thematic analysis.
We adopted a narrative approach to interviewing, meaning that interview questions encouraged respondents to recount stories of specific, anonymised cases and incidents, as a way of eliciting a rich and reflective account of the complexities of managing stress at work.
During the interviews, the researcher adopted an empathic manner to convey an open mind, making the situation comfortable, like a 'coffee table situation'.
