Abstract

This article explores the Conversational, Friendly, and Fortuitous Interview (CFFI) as an innovative technical proposal for data collection in qualitative research, using the Hermeneutic Phenomenological Method as a theoretical foundation. It analyzes the distinctive characteristics of the CFFI, which differentiate it from other techniques, highlighting its ability to create an environment of trust and spontaneity for the interviewee. Through a theoretical-practical analysis, the advantages and limitations of this technique are evaluated, showing how the CFFI can delve deeper into lived experience and reveal more authentic meanings in the collected data. Finally, recommendations for its application in future studies are proposed, offering suggestions to optimize its use in various qualitative research contexts. This article contributes to the discussion on new forms of interaction in data collection, promoting greater flexibility and naturalness in the research process.
