Flashcards do conjunto (18)
- 1Self ReportsThings people say about themselves
- 2Adv. of Self reportsWho knows better than themselves. Good for internal beliefs, attitudes, emotions. Easier & more efficient than observations of the person, other people's reports or neurophysiological indices
- 3DisAdv. of Self reportsAwareness/Memory (no memory then no report), Response set/bias (self-censoring), format of the question (yes/no, open Q), Sample bias, Analysis (mean group differences or associations?)
- 4Yes/no format in Qnnaires.Not very sensitive, rarely used. May be used for those unable to answer more complicated questions, i.e. children.
- 5Fill-in-the-blankHard to code answers thus usually coded as categorical data, but more sensitive as it is more open ended.
- 6Multiple ChoiceEasier to code than fill-in-the-blank and less overwhelming, but still more sensitive than yes/no. Not used very often.
- 7Likert ScaleSensitive, used a lot. Can be even or odd numbered, usually between 5 and 9pts. Sometimes requires "don't know" option. Need reasonable appropriate scale points (no one sleeps 0-2hrs a night)
- 8Avoid: Complexitykeep Qs clear, simple, and understandable.
- 9Avoid: Technical TermsIf you use them, Define them
- 10Avoid: AmbiguityDon't write Q's with more than one interpretation
- 11Avoid: Double-Barreled Q'sQuestions with two clauses, e.g. "should we spend money on education and defence?"
- 12Avoid: Negatives & Double NegativesEvenly and randomly distribute negative worded and postively worded Q's
- 13Avoid: Emotive LanguageAvoid inflammatory language, e.g. "Lazy," "Stupid."
- 14Avoid: Leading QuestionsDon't write Q's which are hard to disagree with, e.g. "We should improve the lives of Nzders."
- 15Avoid: Unnecessary Invasions of PrivacyDon't be judgmental, avoid sexuality, or illegal drugs where possible as they may be too invasive.
- 16Avoid: Sensitive Topic with young people when possibleSuicidal Ideation, Perhaps asking about it encourages it? Same with graffiti, drugs, & sexual behaviour
- 17Unusual Formats: Visual Analogue Scaleslike a temperature scale (not discrete), maybe more sensitive
- 18Unusual formatsBecks Depression Inventory, Smiley-Frowney Faces, Graded Boxes.
