Study Notes

Questionnaire Design and Presentation

A questionnaire is a list of questions whose answers are recorded by respondents.
Respondents read the questions, understand what is needed, and write down their answers.
Questionnaires can be self-completed or interviewer-completed.
Self-completed questionnaires allow respondents to complete the questionnaire on their own, often delivered through the internet.
Interviewer-completed questionnaires are completed by an interviewer. This includes telephone and face-to-face questionnaires.
The design of a questionnaire changes based on how it is delivered, returned, and the level of contact with respondents.

Types of Questions

Questionnaires often use both open and closed questions.
Open questions allow free-form answers, often used in in-depth or semi-structured interviews.
Closed questions offer a limited set of choices (e.g., multiple choice, rating scales), categorized as close-ended or forced-choice questions.
List questions offer predefined responses chosen by the respondent.
Rating questions assess opinions with scales like Likert.

Category Questions

Category questions ensure answers fit only into one category.
Useful for collecting data about specific behaviors or attributes.
Number of categories shouldn't impact the accuracy of the questionnaire answers.

Ranking Questions

Ranking questions assess relative importance by ordering items.
Respondents arrange items from most to least important in the context of specific criteria.

Rating Questions

Rating questions gather opinion data using Likert-style scales.
Responses are based on agreement or disagreement with statements.
Rating scales frequently use 4, 5, 6, or 7 points.

Quantity Questions

Quantity questions collect numerical data on characteristics.
Used for situations where factual information is sought e.g., year of birth.

Question Structure

Unstructured questions allow free-form (open-ended) answers.
Structured questions provide specific response options (predefined).

Quantitative Data Analysis

Descriptive analysis summarizes and presents the data; examples include calculating averages and percentages or creating graphs/charts.
Inferential analysis goes further, making predictions and testing assumptions with statistical methods, e.g., if more studying correlates to better test scores.
