Errors that UX researchers make and how to fix them
SUMMARY In part 2 of this series, we look into five more mistakes that you can avoid (e.g., getting burned out in back-to-back interviews, not expanding where you get data from, not investing in your own growth, etc.) with clear action steps to become a better researcher.
Introduction
The second part of our three-part series on common mistakes that new UX researchers make. In this part, we’ll cover some of the more “hidden” mistakes. You might not be aware you’re doing some of these mistakes but recognizing them can set you on a path to becoming a better researcher. Learn 5 more mistakes to avoid in Part 1.
MISTAKE #6
Getting burnt out in qualitative studies When running interviews, it’s easy to schedule them all back-to-back. While this is efficient from a time-savings perspective, in reality, it can cause you to become burnt out. Even with 30-minute interviews, having so many in a row can cause you to lose focus, struggle to do post-session notes, or even run to the bathroom.
