SURVEY QUESTIONNAIRE

It is a data gathering tool having

sets of questions and is utilized in
various fields such as politics,
research, media and so on.
 TYPES OF
SURVEY QUESTIONS
 1. OPEN-ENDED QUESTIONS
These types of questions do not have predetermined
options or answers. The respondents are allowed to answer
the questions freely. Responses must be recorded verbatim-
especially because coding and analysis will rely on the
subject’s exact responses. Open-ended questions often
need probing or follow-up questions to clarify certain items
in the subject’s response. These question typically ask the
“how” and “why” of something.
 EXAMPLE OF OPEN-ENDED QUESTION

Why did you choose to vote for candidate X? Kindly explain.

 2. DICHOTOMOUS QUESTIONS
Dichotomous questions have two possible
answers, often either yes/no, true/false, or
agree/ disagree. These questions are
used when the researcher wants to clearly
distinguish the respondent’s opinion,
preference, experience or behavior.
 EXAMPLE OF DICHOTOMOUS QUESTION

HIV/AIDS is transmitted through saliva:

True False
 3. MULTIPLE–RESPONSE QUESTIONS
There are certain questions that necessitate the
respondents to provide more than one answer.
For example, a typical advertising survey would
ask the question, “How did you find about the
particular service or item”? A respondent may
have encountered more than one of the
probable ways.
 EXAMPLE OF MULTI-RESPONSE
QUESTION
How were you able to know about the scholarship
program offered in JRMSU-Tampilisan Campus?
Check all that applies.

 4. MATRIX QUESTIONS
There are instances where a number of
questions you intend to ask have the
same set of possible answers. Thus, it is
possible to construct a matrix of items
and answers for the sake of streamlining
the survey.
 TYPES OF MATRIX QUESTIONS

answers. A familiar example would be a follow-up
question provided after a respondent agrees to a
certain item. A respondent is asked whether they used
any illegal drugs or substances. Only those who
answered yes are required to answer the succeeding
items.
