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.
