This project has 6 parts. I will attach the instructions for all those 6 parts. However, parts 1-5 have been done and completed. I will also attach any other supplemental things for you to complete this assignment, like my questionarre. For this specific assignment I need you to to rely on part 6 instructions, titled “Survey Project (6) Template,” and specifically focus on and complete the #2 Methodology part on that assignment that is supposed to be 2 pages long. These are the specific instructions for part 2:
“2) Methodology [up to 2 pages]. Describe all the following elements of your study:
2a) Sampling: when, where, and how you selected respondents;2 any differences between sampling procedures used by different group members; how representative your sample is of the target population and how this may affect the generalizability of the results; whether and why you believe your sampling was good and what limitations there were to your approach.
(1 You can read more about reviewing prior studies in the optional reading “Matthews & Ross on Reviewing the Literature (B2)” under Projects > Additional resources on Bruin Learn. Guidelines for formatting in-text (citation) references can be found at this link.)
(2 In this section (2a), you should describe your respondents in general terms; no need to reference tables or frequency distributions. Later, in section (3a), you’ll have an opportunity to analyze specific aspects of your sample in more depth using your statistical output.)
2b) Dependent variable: what is your main dependent variable? How did you come up with
the concept? How did you design your survey questions/items to get at this concept from
different angles? Why? Did you encounter problems? Tell us whether and why your design
was good or should be improved.
2c) Independent variables: what are your independent variables? Why did you choose these?
How did you pre-code them? Tell us whether and why this was a good idea.
2d) Open question: what did you use your open question for? How did you post-code it?
What kind of independent variable is it?”
