Abstract
The performance of online focus groups has been extensively documented, but the extant research primarily emphasised the online typing method. In contrast, other potential methods have received little attention, especially online audio. Using a range of objective and subjective measures, this study compares the effectiveness of online audio and face-to-face (FTF) methods. The statistical results indicate that more information, better quality of answers, greater group interaction, greater satisfaction and more openness were generated in online audio than in FTF discussions. Meanwhile, the same level of equality of participation is found when using online audio discussions. Additionally, national culture could have moderating effects on performance of a specific communication method. Overall, we conclude that the online audio method could be a valid alternative to focus group research.
