Survey Research
  1. Uses questionnaires and interviews to ask people to provide information about themselves
    1. Response set
      1. Tendency to respond to all questions from a particular perspective
        1. Social desirability response
          1. Most common - answers in the most socially acceptable way
      2. Constructing questions
        1. Types of questions
          1. Attitudes and beliefs
            1. Demographic questions
              1. Behaviours
              2. Question wording
                1. No unfamiliar terms
                  1. Vague terms
                    1. Embedding the sentence with misleading information
                  2. Unnecessary complexity
                    1. Double barrelled questions
                      1. Asks two things at once
                      2. Loaded questions
                        1. Written to lead people a certain way
                        2. Negative wording
                          1. Yea saying and nay saying
                            1. Word the questions so that consistent agreement is unlikely
                              1. Do not want people to get used to one answer
                          2. What kind of data are you seeking?
                            1. Closed ended questions
                              1. Limited number of responses
                                1. Easier to code

                                      1. Ask people to provide "how much" judgments
                                        1. Fully labelled scales are more reliable
                                          1. 5 and 7 point scales are more common
                                          2. Types of scales
                                            1. High frequency scale
                                              1. Alternatives assume a high frequency
                                              2. Low frequency scale
                                                1. Alternatives assume a low frequency
                                                2. Graphic rating scale
                                                  1. Requires a mark along a continuous line that is anchored with descriptions at each end
                                                  2. Semantic differential scale
                                                    1. Measures the meaning people ascribe to concepts
                                                      1. Put a checkmark on different lines
