Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of pilot testing a survey or instrument?

  • To assess how well the questionnaire works prior to administration (correct)
  • To ensure the survey covers a wide range of concepts
  • To collect data for a power calculation
  • To generate multiple hypotheses for future studies

In the context of scaling, which type of scaling is characterized by different adjectives on the extremes?

  • Visual-analog
  • Ordinal
  • Semantic differential (correct)
  • Likert

What is the main difference between a highly structured survey and a flexible survey?

  • Highly structured surveys have fixed designs with close-ended questions, while flexible surveys allow rewording and reordering of questions (correct)
  • Highly structured surveys are more time-consuming to complete, while flexible surveys are quicker
  • Highly structured surveys are used for qualitative research, while flexible surveys are used for quantitative research
  • Highly structured surveys focus on individual interviews, while flexible surveys focus on group interviews
