    2. Ba statement to be tested and evaluated, a statement that describes or explains a relationship between variables.
15. 15When developing survey research questions

    1. AItems should be easy to understand
    2. BItems should be ambiguous
    3. CItems should be culturally appropriate
    4. DItems should be time appropriate
    5. EItems should be considered from an ethical point of view
