3 a Almost everyone will be in the same category.

Some may have taken more than an hour.
b i They are all the same range of time
(15 min each interval).
ii They could be smaller time intervals, say
10 or even 5 minutes.
c Very few will know exactly how long they
spent, some work in fits and starts.
4 For discussion. In general, having four categories
is a good idea. It allows for some indication of
strength of feeling, while not allowing total
indifference.
5 For discussion. It is usually safest to stick to one
set wording of the question, avoiding any bias or
‘leading’.
Exercise 8d (p 170)
2 a Males are generally taller than females; a girl
might consider herself tall at 160 cm but a
boy at the same height might not.
b Meanings of possible answers not explained
in form with negative numbers; the form used
for item 4 doesn’t allow for the possibility that
someone might want to be smaller.
3 a Meanings of possible answers not explained;
does 4 mean yes, love it, or no, hate it?
b Better to give a set of categories to choose
from, otherwise hard to analyse.
c Doesn’t specify who to include – self? Just
parents and siblings? What about aunts,
uncles, grandparents, cousins?
d Leading question – shows questioner’s bias.
4 The first two questions set an ‘agenda’
which may influence the response to the final
question (particularly in Group 1), but they also
give some reason for how people answer it.
