Tuesday, January 19, 2016
12:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Steve Snell

This workshop covers the process of writing and testing survey questions in depth. There is no way to be certain that respondents will interpret your questions exactly as you intend and provide the answers you want, but this workshop will introduce what is known about the psychology of survey response and generally accepted best practices for question writing. Topics include how survey mode affects question writing, the potential for bias in questions, appropriate answer options, and writing survey questions for experiments. The workshop will conclude with a review of methods for testing questions to ensure their validity and reliability. The workshop itself will conclude at 1:30, with a half hour allowed after that time for Q&A. Registration required; please click "more information" to access the registration form.
