- 1What can surveys be used for?experiments, quasi-experiments, & correlations
- 2What do surveys measure?variables within people
- 3types of survey questionsopen-ended, partially open-ended, & closed-ended/restricted
- 4open-endedparticipants can answer in any way they want
- 5partially open-endedparticipants can select from an array of options OR a free response "other"
- 6closed-ended/restrictedparticipants can select from an array of options and have no ability to enter a free response
- 7rating scalerelies on a continuum instead of groups/categories
- 8Likert scalemeasures agreement or disagreement with a statement
- 9rules for creating scales1. keep it simple
2. avoid double-barreled questions
3. use neutral/unbiased language
4. minimize negative wording
5. avoid response set pitfall
6. use rating scales consistently
7. limit points on a rating scale
8. label or anchor rating scale points
9. minimize item/survey length - 10double-barreled questionsquestions that ask two things at once
- 11neutral/unbiased languageinsensitive wording; no leading questions
- 12response setparticipant pattern of answering items
avoid by reverse-coding questions - 13limit points on a rating scale7 is a good number
- 14label or anchor rating scale pointsat least the lowest and highest points, but more = better
- 15item/survey length20 or less items is ideal
- 16reliability & validityassessed for each separate construct/variable
- 17type of reliability depends on the number of times participants complete the instrument1: internal/inter-item
2: internal & test-retest - 18content validityquestions measure various aspects of the construct
- 19criterion-related validityconcurrent, predictive, convergent, discriminant
