Interview with focus group
Environment
They live in 4 bedroom house
Inhabitants
2 Asian men and 2 Asian girls
Age groups
4 people 19 – 25 years old
Frequency of communication
Daily communication with the other friends. Also weekly communication, every Sunday about cleaning jobs.
Form of communication
Timetables are used to communicate between the group who is doing what on a particular day. “Post It” notes on the fridge also used on a daily basis. Messages are written on pieces of paper. Weekly communications on responsibilities for cleaning the house and who owes money on the payment of bills.
Subject of communication
“Post It” notes and paper notes are used as reminders for work to be done by others (cleaning, evening activities), as messages to inform others of phone calls, messages from friends, arrangements made etc. The Timetable is the Master method of communicating who is responsible at what time for jobs to be done.
Weaknesses of communication methods
The weakness of post it notes is that it is possible for the messages to go missing or they are overlooked. The same thing may happen for pieces of paper. The Timetable sometimes suffers from a lack of room if there is a lot of information or changes for a specific day.
Improvements
The Timetable needs to have more space when it is needed. Post It notes are too easily lost and so a more permanent solution is needed e.g. computer messages?
