The success of face-to-face focus group sessions depends heavily on the moderator’s communication, interpersonal, probing, observation, and interpretive skills. The focus group moderator must be able not only to ask the right questions but also to stimulate and control the direction of the participants’ discussions over a variety of predetermined topics. The moderator is responsible for creating positive group dynamics and a comfort zone between himself or herself and each group member as well as among the members themselves.
