Surveys Data collection efforts that measure responses from a representative subset of a larger group of people; can be conducted in person (when people with clipboards stop you in a mall, that’s called a mall intercept), over the phone, by mail or email, or online. Designing and conducting a meaningful survey requires thorough knowledge of statistical techniques such as sampling to ensure valid results that truly represent the larger group. For this reason, many of the simple surveys that you see online these days do not produce statistically valid results. Longitudinal studies survey the same group of people over a period of time. Interviews, focus One-on-one or group discussions that try to probe deeper into issues than a survey groups, and research typically does. Focus groups involve a small number of people guided by a facilitator while panels being observed or recorded by researchers. Unlike surveys, interviews and focus groups are not designed to collect statistics that represent a larger group; their real value is in uncovering issues that might require further study. Research panels are groups of people who agree to participate (in person or online) in an ongoing series of research activities, including surveys, interviews, and focus groups). © 2024, Pearson Education Ltd.
