Group interviewing is sparsely used in France. In order to secure the scientific validity of this method, we first argue that the interviewed groups operate as an interaction context for their members, thus providing the researcher with a meso analysis level between the individual and society.
The various possible research designs are then discussed according to the international literature.
Finally, two original studies (attitudes towards politics;
2007 French presidential campaign exposure) are used to comment on the explanatory power regarding the analysis of political reasoning.
Results refer to how reasoning increases in accuracy and may relate to one's own life experience rather than political sophistication.
