| Question | Answer |
| What is a questionnaire? | Data collected through the use of written questions, which can be open, closed or in rating scale format. |
| What are the strengths of questionnaires? | They collect a range of data, specific questions = specific answers which make coding easier, high reliability, quick and easy to conduct. |
| What are the weaknesses of questionnaires? | They lack detail, participants might lie if a question is too personal, can lack validity so it's harder to generalise and social desirability bias can affect results if it's not done anonymously. |
| What is an interview? | When the investigator asks the participant questions face to face. |
| What are the strengths of an interview? | There is more detail as participants can explain answers, high validity and it's easier to understand answers. |
| What are the weaknesses of an interview? | There's lots of data so it's harder to analyse, interviewer effect, unnecessary data and low in reliability. |
| Name and define the 3 different types of interview. | Structured - the questions are decided in advance. Semi-structured - has pre-determined questions but might go off topic. Eg: clinical interview. Unstructured - it starts out with some general aims and possibly some questions and lets the answers guide subsequent questions. |
| What is social desirability bias? | A tendency for participants to respond in a way that'll present them in a better, more socially acceptable light regardless of personal preference. |
| What is interviewer bias? | The effect of an interviewer's expectations communicated unconsciously on a respondent's behaviour. |
