- [blank_start]Nominal[blank_end] scales: [blank_start]partition[blank_end] data into mutually [blank_start]exclusive[blank_end] and collectively [blank_start]exhaustive[blank_end] categories, implying that every bit of data will fit into [blank_start]one[blank_end] and [blank_start]only[blank_end] one category.
- [blank_start]Ordinal[blank_end] scales: maintain [blank_start]labeling[blank_end] characteristics of nominal scales and have the ability to order data.
- [blank_start]Interval[blank_end] scales: maintain labeling characteristics of [blank_start]ordinal[blank_end] scales and have the ability to order data, plus [blank_start]equal[blank_end] [blank_start]intervals[blank_end] between points to show relative amounts. May include an arbitrary [blank_start]zero[blank_end] point.
- [blank_start]Ratio[blank_end] scales: have the characteristics of [blank_start]interval[blank_end] scales, plus a meaningful zero point so that magnitudes can be compared [blank_start]arithmetically[blank_end].- ANominal
- BOrdinal
- CInterval
- DRatio
- Epartition
- Fexclusive
- Gexhaustive
- Honly
- Ione
- Jlabeling
- Kordinal
- Lequal
- Mintervals
- Nzero
- Ointerval
- Parithmetically
112Nominal data
- Aare scales that have labeling characteristics
- Bcan be yes/no questions
- Ccan be gender questions
- Dcan be analyzed with the average/ mean
- Ecan be analyzed with the mode
113Errors can be eithr systematic or random.
A [blank_start]systematic error[blank_end] results in constant bias in the measurements, caused by faults in the measurement instrument or process.- Asystematic error
- Brandom error
114A person not answering a question truthfully because they're in a bad mood that day is an example of systematic error.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
115Criteria for good measurement:
- [blank_start]Reliability[blank_end]: the degree to which measures are free from random error and therefore yield consistent results.
- [blank_start]Validity[blank_end]: the extent to which what you're trying to measure is actually measured.
- [blank_start]Sensitivity[blank_end]: The ability to accurately measure variability in stimuli or response.- AReliability
- BValidity
- CSensitivity
116Methods to assess reliability:
- [blank_start]Test-retest method[blank_end]: administering the same scale or measure to the same respondents at two separate points in time to test for [blank_start]stability[blank_end].
- [blank_start]Equivalent-from method[blank_end]: measures the correlation between instruments (scales) designed to be equivalent, administered to the same group of subjects.
- [blank_start]Internal consistency[blank_end]: the ability of an instrument to produce [blank_start]similar[blank_end] results when used on different samples during the same time period to measure a phenomenon.- ATest-retest method
- BEquivalent-from method
- CInternal consistency
- Dstability
- Esimilar
117Internal consistency assesses [blank_start]equivalence[blank_end] by assessing the [blank_start]homogeneity[blank_end] of a set og items, or how well they " hang together". it used to be checked by the [blank_start]split[blank_end]-[blank_start]half[blank_end] technique, splitting the set of items into 2 halves, looking at the [blank_start]correlation[blank_end]. Now it's always done with Cronbach's [blank_start]alpha[blank_end] technique which involves computing [blank_start]mean[blank_end] reliability coefficient estimates for all possible ways of splitting a set of items in half. Or done with [blank_start]KR[blank_end]-[blank_start]20[blank_end] technique applicable on all dichotomous or nominally scaled items.

118[blank_start]Validity[blank_end] is the degree to which what the researcher was trying to measure was actually measured.
- AValidity
119Types of validity:
- [blank_start]content validity[blank_end]: the degree to which the measure or scale overs the entire domain of the construct, and nothing else.
- [blank_start]face validity[blank_end]: the degree to which a measurement instrument seems to measure what it is supposed to, as judged by researchers. It's the weakest form of validity.
- [blank_start]criterion-related validity[blank_end]: the degree to which a measurement instrument can predict a variable that is designated as a criterion.
- [blank_start]construct validity[blank_end]: the degree to which measurement instruments confirms a hypothesis created from a theory based on the concepts under study.- Acontent validity
- Bface validity
- Ccriterion-related validity
- Dconstruct validity
120There's two types of criterion-related validity:
1. [blank_start]predictive[blank_end]: predict criterion variable at a different time
2. [blank_start]concurrent[blank_end]: predict criterion variable at the same time- Apredictive
- Bconcurrent
121There are two types of construct validity:
- [blank_start]convergent[blank_end]: the degree of association amon different measurement instruments that purport to measure the same concept.
- [blank_start]discriminant[blank_end]: a measure of the lack of association among constructs that are supposed to be different.- Aconvergent
- Bdiscriminant
122Measurement reliability is a necessary condition for validity.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
123You can always go from ordinal to metric when choosing your measurement levels>
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
124It's sometimes better to use nominal and ordinal level of measurement
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
125An [blank_start]attitude[blank_end] is an enduring disposition to consistently respond in a given manner to various aspects of the world.
- Aattitude
126Attitudes are [blank_start]hypothetical[blank_end] [blank_start]constructs[blank_end]: not directly observable but measurable through indirect [blank_start]indicators[blank_end] (verbal expressions or behavior)
- Ahypothetical
- Bconstructs
- Cindicators
127Attitude measurement scales: motivations, e[blank_start]motions[blank_end], p[blank_start]erceptions[blank_end] and [blank_start]cognitive[blank_end] processes.
- Amotions
- Berceptions
- Ccognitive
128[blank_start]Non-comparative scales[blank_end]: measurement scales in which judgment is made without reference to another object, concept, or person.
[blank_start]Comparative scales[blank_end]: measurement scales in which one object, concept, or person is compared with another on a scale.
[blank_start]Rank-order scales[blank_end]: measurement scales in which the respondent compares two or more items and ranks them.- ANon-comparative scales
- BComparative scales
- CRank-order scales
129Itemized and graphic scales are considered to be comparative scales
- AVerdadero
- BFalso

- consider the respondent's willingness to answer- Aeveryday
- Bbarrelled
- Cspace
- Dterms
- Ebiasing
- Fability
139Questionnaire design considerations:
- AStart with an opening script: who you are, why you're doing the survey, how long will it take?
- BTry to fit all question on fewer pages in order to make the questionnaire look shorter
- CUse plenty of white space between questions
- DEnsure the format, font, layout... is consistent
- EState the instructions clearly
- FMinimize extra words like additional explanations to make the survey less crammed
- GClarify questions as they are asked if necessary
- HAllow enough space for open-ended questions
- INumber questions and make sure they are interrelated; no "stand alones"
- JInclude a closing: THANK YOU, YOUR OPINION COUNTS!
140The questionnaire flow:
[blank_start]6[blank_end]. Ask questions about the [blank_start]dependent[blank_end] variable before questions about the [blank_start]independent[blank_end] variable.
Respondents can’t guess your hypothesis, so reduced response biases
[blank_start]1[blank_end]. [blank_start]Screeners[blank_end]: Establish if the respondent qualifies, excuse those who don’t
Example: “Have you shopped for groceries in the past week?”
[blank_start]5[blank_end]. [blank_start]Classification[blank_end]: Sensitive personal and demographic questions
Always ask last or the respondent may abort the interview
Example: “What is your total annual household income?”
[blank_start]2[blank_end]. [blank_start]Warm-ups[blank_end]: Get the respondent thinking about the topic, develop rapport
Example: “How often do you go shopping?”
[blank_start]4[blank_end]. [blank_start]Complicated Questions[blank_end] - Main Section of the Questionnaire
Use of rating scales for behaviors, attitudes, beliefs, opinions, etc.
Tackling controversial issues: like using P2P services to get free movies
[blank_start]3[blank_end]. [blank_start]Transitions[blank_end]: Set the tone for the more difficult questions to come

- Will the questions provide the [blank_start]information[blank_end] needed to accomplish the research [blank_start]objectives[blank_end]?- Anecessary
- Blong
- Cobjectives
- Dinformation
142Select all the reasons why survey research is so popular

- DNeed to know WHERE. where was the decision made?
- ENeed to know HOW. what's the process consumers go through before taking some action. how did they make the decision?
143Types of surveys:
- [blank_start]Door[blank_end]-to-[blank_start]door[blank_end] interviews: conducted face to face with consumers in their homes. It's nearly obsolete.
- [blank_start]Executive[blank_end] interviews: conducted face to face with business people in their offices.

146Types of sample design errors:
1. [blank_start]selection[blank_end] error: results from incomplete or improper sample selection procedures or not following appropriate procedures.
2. [blank_start]population[blank_end] [blank_start]specification[blank_end] error: results from incorrectly defining the population or universe from which a sample is chosen
3. [blank_start]frame[blank_end] error: results from an inaccurate or incomplete sampling frame - a list of population elements or members from which units to be sampled are selected.- Aselection
- Bspecification
- Cpopulation
- Dframe
147Main kinds of survey research errors:
- [blank_start]Random[blank_end] [blank_start]Sampling[blank_end] Error: due to chance variation, elements that are randomly selected may still turn out not to be representative
So we may reach the wrong conclusion ‘19 times out of 20’
- [blank_start]Systematic[blank_end] Error or [blank_start]Bias[blank_end]: Results from flaws in research design or execution.
Not accounted for in error figures reported as +/- 5%, that’s only the random sampling error.- ARandom
- BSampling
- CSystematic
- DBias
148There are 2 types of systematic error (bias): measurement errors and selection errors.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
1496 Kinds of Measurement Error:
- [blank_start]Surrogate[blank_end] [blank_start]Information[blank_end] Error: Due to discrepancy between information needed to solve a problem and information asked for by researcher
- [blank_start]Interviewer[blank_end] Error or [blank_start]Interviewer[blank_end] Bias: Due to interviewer influencing – consciously or unconsciously – respondent’s answers
- [blank_start]Measurement[blank_end] Instrument Bias: Due to the design of the questionnaire or measurement instrument, also called questionnaire bias.
- Non-[blank_start]response[blank_end] bias: Due to a systematic difference between those who do and those who do not respond to the questionnaire
- [blank_start]Processing[blank_end] Error: Due to incorrect data entry of information from a survey – minimized with phone/web surveys, also due to incorrect coding
- [blank_start]Response[blank_end] Bias: Results from respondents’ deliberate falsification or unconscious misrepresentation (note: not the opposite of non-response bias)- ASurrogate

156Measuring central tendency:
[blank_start]Mean[blank_end]: The sum of the values for all observations of a variable divided by the number of observations
[blank_start]Median[blank_end]: In an ordered set, the value below which 50 percent of the observations fall
[blank_start]Mode[blank_end]: The value that occurs most frequently- AMean
- BMedian
- CMode
157Measures of dispersion:
- [blank_start]Variance[blank_end]: Sums of the squared deviations from the mean divided by the number of observations minus one
- [blank_start]Range[blank_end]: Maximum value for variable minus the minimum value for that variable
- [blank_start]Standard Deviation[blank_end]: Calculate by
Subtracting the [blank_start]mean[blank_end] of a series from each value in a series

- BRange
- CStandard Deviation
- Dmean
- ESquaring
- FDividing
- Gsquare root
158Types of differences:
- [blank_start]Mathematical[blank_end]: Estimates from different surveys of means, etc. will almost always be different due to random sampling error
- [blank_start]Statistical[blank_end]: Is the difference between means found in the sample unlikely to be the result of sampling error?
With a bigger sample, you have more statistical power, so you’re more likely to get a significant result
Statistical tests assume that sample is representative of the population – i.e., sample is a [blank_start]probability sample[blank_end] – if not, the test is meaningless
- [blank_start]Managerially Important[blank_end]: A difference can be statistically ‘significant’ but unimportant if the amount of difference is small- AMathematical

This is [blank_start]conservative[blank_end], we want to reject this
Alternative Hypothesis
What we [blank_start]propose[blank_end] or believe - if we can reject the null we can say we found [blank_start]support[blank_end] for this one: ‘coupons delivered to mobile phones will increase sales’
It is never ‘[blank_start]proven[blank_end]’ since it can always be [blank_start]disconfirmed[blank_end] by new evidence - Ptolemy and Galileo, black swans in Australia- Astatus quo
