SURVEY Survey Res Survey research remains most used in applied 25 words
RESEARCH (SR) (SR) social research.. Data are collected in a
standardized for. There is no attempt to control
-Survey conditions or manipulate variables.
-Interview Advantages of  The research produces data based on real- 3 points
SR world observation.
 The breadth of coverage of many people or
events means that is more likely than some
other approaches to obtain the data base.
 Surveys can produce large amounts of data
in a short time for a fairly low cost.
Disadvantage  The significance of the data can become 3 points
s of SR neglected if the researcher focuses too
much on the range of coverage to the
exclusion of an adequate account of the
implications of those data for relevant
issues, problems, or theories.
 The data that are produced are likely to
lack details or depth on the topic being
investigated.
 Securing a high response rate to a survey
can be hard to control, particularly when it
is carried out by post, but is also difficult
when the survey is carried out face to face
or over the telephone.
Res Methods Common survey methods include postal 20 words
(RM) questionnaires, face-to-face interviews, and
telephone interviews.
Postal Involves sending questionnaires to a large sample 25 words
questionnaire of people covering a wide geographical area. It is
usually received without any contact between
researcher and respondent.
Face-to-face Researcher approaching respondents personally. 25 words
interview It is more costly and time-consuming method than
the postal survey.
Telephone Allow a two-way interaction between researcher 20 words
interview and respondent. Quicker and cheaper than face-
to-face interviewing and higher response rate
than postal surveys.
Planning Res Researchers should conduct a literature search to 30 words
Tool identify existing, psychometrically tested
 questionnaires. Tool must also demonstrate the
psychometric properties of reliability, validity
and, if a longitudinal study, responsiveness to
change.
Questionnaire Questionnaires should be numbered and clear and 50 words
layout well presented. Questions should be numbered
and clearly grouped by subject.Question may be
open or closed. Open questions are more
demanding for respondents but if well answered
can provide useful insight into a topic. Closed
questions are quick to administer and can be
easily coded and analysed.
Interview A questionnaire that is administered face to face 25 words
questions with the respondent. For structured interview, the
researcher should consider the points high-
lighted above regarding questionnaires.
SAMPLING Sample & It is impractical and uneconomical to collect data 20 words
sampling from every single person in a given population.
Divided into two categories are random and non-
random sampling.
Non-random Applied when qualitative methods are used to 20 words
sampling collect data.Deliberately targets individuals within
a population. Three main techniques are,
purposive sampling, convenience sampling and
snow balling.
Random Employed when quantitative methods are used to 20 words
sampling collect data and allows the results to be
generalized to the larger population and statistical
analysis performed if appropriate.
Sample size Large samples with rigorous selection are more 20 words
powerful as they will yield more accurate results,
but data collection and analysis will be
proportionately more time consuming and
expensive.
DATA Data How many people approached and how many of 20 words
collection those agreed to participate must be recorded.
Data analysis Summarize data so that it is easily understood and 20 words
provides the answers to our original questions.
REPORT Reporting Explain the purpose of aim of the research,with the 20 words
explicit identification of the research question.
Ethics Two important ethical issues to adhere to when 20 words
conducting a survey are confidentiality and
informed consent.
