Study Notes
Designing A Questionnaire Steps
- Step 1: Information
- Determine what information to collect based on research hypotheses.
- Define the questions the survey aims to answer.
- Identify independent, dependent, moderating, and mediating variables in the study.
- Step 2: Administration
- Choose the method for administering the questionnaire.
- Step 3: Content
- Ensure each question is necessary and contributes to the research objectives.
- Consider using pre-existing questions or scales from literature.
- Step 4: Design
- Craft a questionnaire that looks professional and reflects the study's importance.
- Include a clear and convincing introduction to encourage respondents to cooperate.
- Aim for a concise questionnaire.
- Step 5: Pretest
- Revise each question to avoid ambiguity, confusion, offensiveness, or leading.
- Seek peer evaluations for feedback.
- Conduct personal interviews with respondents similar to the target population.
Sampling And Biases
- Population: Represents the entire group of interest in the study.
- Sample: A smaller, representative portion of the population selected for research.
- Probability Samples: Every member of the population has an equal chance of being chosen.
- Sample Size: The number of individuals included in the sample, regardless of the size of the population.
Methods of Data Collection
- Primary Data Collection: Focuses on gathering firsthand, original information directly from the source.
- Field Studies: Used for understanding real-world situations and exploring relationships between variables.
- Experiments: Conducted to establish causality and control specific variables.
- Online Data: Collected through surveys, questionnaires, or other online tools.
- Secondary Data Collection: Involves analyzing existing data obtained from various sources.
- Internal Sources: Documents, reports, and information available within the organization.
- External Sources: External publications, reports, articles, and databases.
- Between-Subjects Design: Compares two distinct groups of participants that receive different treatments.
- Within-Subjects Design: Tests the same group of participants under different conditions.
