3.524 Pilot Test

A questionnaire is research which involves a number of different questions to gather information from the people who are filling it in. Questionnaires are designed as a way to find out what people are thinking. An advantage of questionnaires is that it is very practical because it is quick to collect information from the people filling out the questionnaire. Another advantage of questionnaires is that the same questions is asked to everyone filling the questionnaire out so easy to sum up. The final advantage to questionnaires is that large information can be collected. There are also some disadvantages to questionnaires which is that there is no way of telling how much though someone who is filling the questionnaire out has put it. Another disadvantage is that the person filling it out may forget what has happened to fill it out so it won’t be reliable. The final disadvantage to questionnaires is that there is no way to tell how truthful a respondent is being.

In this chapter, I will analyse the data according to the principles proposed, such as Likert’s scale. According to the data collected, I will come out with certain conclusions to predict the respondents’

The information is presented in a direct manner, lacking unnecessary information, and written in a style which is easy for a range of readers to understand. They provide a thorough description of the development of the instrument, the norm population used, and an example of the survey, thus enabling the study to be replicated. A table of the frequencies and percentages of respondents’

Likert scale was used for both questionnaires to measure quality and importance of subject matter.

In survey design and administration, there are various approaches, which can be utilized to assess validity and reliability of a survey instrument. These approaches are used to make certain that the survey instrument accurately captures the data that is need as well as provides reliable results of over time (Phillips, Phillips, Aaron, 2013). To assess, the validity and reliability of a survey instrument, researchers conduct a review of validity and reliability during survey pilot testing (Phillips et al., 2013).

The questions/statements on the questionnaire were tested for validity, reliability, and readability and comprehension. Validity was examined by a panel of experts, reliability was tested by providing the questionnaires to a subsample and providing the questionnaire again to the same group after a 1 week period. Readability and comprehension were tested with other students representative of the sample used for the study.

The research survey consisted of 26 questions. The questions were constructed by using: the Likert scale from 1-7(1 –not at all to 7-very), close-ended questions, open-ended questions, multiple choice questions, and demographic questions. The questions were formulated around attractiveness. How does the

The strengths of this study was it had a fairly large sample size of 1,904 participants. The study used the Tailored Design Method to obtain the highest response rate possible. The survey package Clark-Reyna and her team of researchers sent out consisted of a consent form, both English and Spanish version of the survey, a return envelope, along with a two dollar

This study will use various forms of validation to make sure that the information is accurate and valid. For the qualitative data, the study will use homogeneity and convergent validity. With homogeneity, the instrument will measure only one construct. Moreover, the use of convergent validity will show that the instrument is strongly correlated with other instruments measuring similar variables. For phase two, the study will use member check to insure validity. The collected data will be checked by other researchers and the participants to remove any

To develop a preliminary set of questionnaire items as exhaustive as possible, data will be triangulated from several data sources:

To ensure efficacy and validity in this study, this writer has ensured that the questionnaire items were measured based on a scale of nominal, ordinal, interval or ratio scale (Abramson, & Abramson, 2008). Naturally, informed consent was provided to all survey participants as they were properly educated on search parameters.

This report contains detailed and explanatory notes on the Presentation of Findings of the fifty completed Research Questionnaires.

The response scales used are close ended with multiple choice and Likert scale questions on a scale of one to ten being used. Due to the large amount of data and the variety of information asked, this report will restrict itself to testing a few hypotheses, which will be targeted towards specific areas, and which can be proved or disproved through use of cross tabulation analysis based on data obtained in the survey.

The methodology includes the questionnaire and the survey was conducted online and the offline and the data was recorded and analyzed. In the questionnaire the questions were presented to the participants a total number of 129 people participated and the data was recorded and analyzed. A total number of eight questions were presented to the

This survey was conducted with the help of structured questionnaire having both closed and open ended questions and with the Regular seminars in
