QUESTION 1) There are many different factors to consider when looking at the format of surveys and analyzing survey results. For example, the sampling method used can affect the conclusions that can be drawn from survey results. Additionally, if a survey item is leading, is unclearly worded, has overlapping answer choices, or does not include enough of a range of response options, survey takers may not be able to answer accurately. Additionally, if the survey respondents think certain responses may make them “look bad,” they may be less likely to answer honestly. For example, people tend to underreport how often they eat junk food or lose their temper and overreport how often they do kind things for others and eat vegetables.
This week, you should take the surveys that were created by each team. You should pick one of the surveys that you took and answer the following questions. When responding to peers, consider responding to peers who wrote about a different survey than you did.
Please respond to the following:
Which survey are you focusing on for this discussion?
What did you like about this survey?
Were there any survey items that were unclear or confusing, or that seemed unnecessary to include? Why or why not?
What additional survey item(s) could be useful for assessing the topic, if the survey were to be longer?
If the survey had been administered in a different format (e.g., mail, phone, in person), how might this have affected the survey results?
What sampling was used for this survey? Describe limitations associated with this.
How could the results of this survey be useful?
