Topics Appropriate to Survey Research Descriptive Exploratory Explanatory

Guidelines for Asking Questions Choose appropriate question forms. Make items clear. Avoid double-barreled questions. Respondents must be competent to answer.

Guidelines for Asking Questions Respondents must be willing to answer. Questions should be relevant. Short items are best. Avoid negative items. Avoid biased items and terms.

Guidelines for Questionnaire Construction One question per line. Use contingency questions when necessary. Format matrix questions so they are easily answered. Be aware of issues with ordering items. Include instructions for the questionnaire. Pretest all or part of the questionnaire.

Acceptable Response Rates 50% - adequate for analysis and reporting 60% - good 70% - very good

Guidelines for Survey Interviewing Dress in a similar manner to the people who will be interviewed. Study and become familiar with the questionnaire. Follow question wording exactly. Record responses exactly. Probe for responses when necessary.

Training for Interviewers Discussion of general guidelines and procedures. Specify how to handle difficult or confusing situations. Conduct demonstration interviews. Conduct “real” interviews.

Telephone Surveys Advantages: Money and time. Control over data collection. Disadvantages: Surveys that are really ad campaigns. Answering machines.

New Technologies and Survey Research CAPI - computer assisted personal interviewing. CASI - computer assisted self interviewing. CSAQ - computerized self-administered questionnaires. TDE - touchtone data entry. VR - voice recognition.

Strengths of Survey Research Useful in describing the characteristics of a large population. Make large samples feasible. Flexible - many questions can be asked on a given topic.

Weaknesses of Survey Research Can seldom deal with the context of social life. Inflexible in some ways. Subject to artificiality. Weak on validity.
