What is research ?

something for the purpose of answering
questions posed by research. It has also been
defined as “the effort to find new information”
Why do we conduct research?

questions which will serve as your guide.
In this way, zero in on the salient points of
your research.

Questionnaire Design Tips: Some “Dos &
• DO set your goalsDon’ts”
before you start
This applies to your research as much as to
your communications efforts. To measure the
success of either, you first have to clearly
define what success looks like. What do you
need to accomplish?

* What do you need to learn from this survey?


* What information must your survey provide?
Questionnaire Design Tips: Some “Dos &
Don’ts”
• DO prioritize questions and limit the length of
your questionnaire
A lengthy or complicated survey leads to
“respondent fatigue.” By the time they get to the
later questions in the survey, people are tired and
start answering questions as quickly as possible
just to be done.
Ask yourself how the research results will be
used. Cut questions for which you don’t have an
Questionnaire Design Tips: Some “Dos &
• DO pilot test yourDon’ts”
questionnaire
Testing your questionnaire before you field it will
save you the frustration of getting off-target
answers. Ideally, your “pilot” test will be done
with a smaller sample of the respondents you plan
to send your survey to.
The pilot test will help reveal any wording in your
questions that is confusing or ambiguous. Even
experienced questionnaire designers can find that

with enough answer
options
Another error in question design springs from the
difficulty of thinking through all the ways in
which a question might be answered by someone
very different from the question writer. This can
force a response that isn’t accurate.
Ex. “On which day(s) of the week do you eat only
vegetarian meals?”
Questionnaire Design Tips: Some “Dos &
Don’ts”
• DON’T write “double-barreled” questions
A common survey design error is to write a
question that is really two questions in one. It’s
impossible to get accurate answers from these
questions because respondents only have the
answer options to respond to one question, not
both.

Ex. "Do you agree or disagree with university


Questionnaire Design Tips: Some “Dos &
• DON’T write leadingDon’ts”
questions
“Leading” questions contain wording that may
sway, or lead, respondents to one side of an
argument. Leading questions can be harder to
catch than you may think.

Ex. “Do you think people should adopt an animal-


friendly vegan diet?”
Questionnaire Design Tips: Some “Dos &
• DON’T use Jargons Don’ts”
To be clear, avoid jargon and acronyms. You may
find that terms you think are common knowledge
are not, when you test your questionnaire with
someone outside of your organization.
Ex. “Please indicate how much you agree or
disagree with the statement, ‘Raising animals for
food in CAFOs leads to animal abuse.”
