List the challenges faced to conduct a good focus group discussion

What will be an ideal response?

There are many challenges to conducting a good focus group. Some researchers believe consumers have been so bombarded with ads, they unconsciously parrot back what they've already heard instead of what they really think. There's always a concern that participants are just trying to maintain their self-image and public persona or have a need to identify with the other members of the group. Participants also may not be willing to acknowledge in public — or may not even recognize — their behavior patterns and motivations. And the "loudmouth or know-it-all" problem often crops up when one highly opinionated person drowns out the rest of the group.
