Discussion And Data Interpretation

There are two types of people that were asked to take a survey. First, the teachers and assistant teachers were asked to take an eight question survey. Secondly, the parents of young children were asked to take a ten question survey. Each survey was short and all multiple

A questionnaire is a list of a research or survey questions asked to respondents, and designed to extract quantitative date. Questionnaires are easily distributed to the community and can be completed and collected on the spot or be emailed or posted back to the researcher. Self completed questionnaires are the most common survey as they are cheap and can be passed to a lot of people. Some sociologists tend not to use questionnaires because of their low response rate and lack of validity. Also, some people may give false information so some researchers like to stick to interviews and experiments for increased accuracy. I will explore why sociologists shy away from using questionnaires.

The population is undergraduate students of UM and we eliminated the unsuitable sample based on the information of questionnaires (exclude the outliers, blank questionnaire, context is contradictory and so on). Then we selected 30 questionnaires per college year which year 1 to year 4 (30*4=120) from all the completed questionnaires. We used convenience sampling method to distribute the online questionnaires openly. And we received the completed questionnaires online which are from google form.

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.

“Research in health and social care usually relies on obtaining information from individuals using social research methodologies”. (Whitehouse, M, 2010:428). Questionnaires are suitable for obtaining important information from many individuals in a survey who are answering the questions this is known as ‘respondents’. Questionnaires gives us the opportunity to ask questions of participants but also allows answers to be given according to the options constructed by the researcher using a response frame. A response frame allows a limited choice of different responses. Also there are self-completion questions this allows respondents to fill in the answers themselves. The questionnaire may be delivered to individuals directly by hand or by post or even online the researcher may contact through an email address. They may be asked to complete a customer satisfaction questionnaire. For example at college we are sent online questionnaires through are student email, questionnaires

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 researcher will assume that the respondents will answer all survey questions and that the questions will be answered honestly. The researcher will assure the respondents that the survey will be handled anonymously and that it will be confidential.

The participants were asked to complete a survey. The first step was for the participants to read and understand the information regarding the rules of the survey before they began. After reading and complying with the rules, the participants had a choice to continue with the survey or opt out. The volunteers, were then presented with the newly created measure of fifteen questions regarding their level of anger. Following that were two other measures rating their level of aggression. All the questions were presented for each measure at a time. The participants needed to complete a measure before going to the next one. When the participants completed the final measure, the survey asked the participants to respond to two questions with a short response. When they finished, participants were asked to identify their demographics by answering the demographics questions. A total of 64 questions (including the three measures, two short response and demographics) were given to the participants taking roughly ten minutes to complete. The participants completed the survey online at their own pace without any supervision.

The other participants were sent by mail the same survey packet. A total of 50 survey

This purpose of this study is to understand how Black alumni from Cornell University, who choose to attend their affinity reunion, make sense of their undergraduate experiences at a PWI. In this chapter, we will explore the undergraduate experiences of Black alumni who graduated from Cornell University as expressed by the participants in an attempt to interpret how their experiences can inform us about their alumni engagement. The analysis has identified 5 superordinate themes and 13 subthemes. The chart below identifies each emergent theme identified from the analysis along with the frequency in appearance of each theme:

You and I have similar views in regard to Andy and what we say during the assessment. One thing you picked up on in which I missed was Andy’s posture. While watching the assessment I did not pay much attention to his posture because I was paying more attention to how many times he scanned the room or how much he was moving and talking with his hands. While reading your post I realize Andy was hunched over with his shoulder low at times during the interview. Outside of this miss observation on my part you and I viewed the assessment through a similar lens. I agree further support and assessment would be highly recommended and even a psychological evaluation for medication to help with his hallucinations and delusional symptoms. Thanks

The studies done by Tucker et al. (2012) and Brosey and March (2015) are very similar in nature. Olrich, Kalman and Nigolian (2012) was slightly different. All three studies lacked a random assignment of study participants. Tucker et al. identifies limitations such as lack of a control group or a random assignment, and suggests that the fall rates could have been influenced by the increased attention to falls due to another initiative rather than SNRI. Brosey and March also had a lack of a control group or a random assignment but failed to mention this in the limitations, and also suggested that the fall rates could have been influenced by an increased attention to falls prior to implementation. Olrich, Kalman and Nigolian did not complete a post-implementation evaluation and did not note this in the limitations. However, it was noted that a larger sample size was needed (Olrich, Kalman, & Nigolian).

Despite receiving the questionnaires, the 1200 police chiefs who were the unit of analysis did not take part in the survey and delegated the duty of being a respondent to other persons. There are consequences for this decision to allow other people apart from the police chiefs to complete the questionnaire. The respondents who are not police chiefs will have a potential

In general, there are several methods for data collection and the different data collection methods provided its own advantages and disadvantages (Sekaran 2003, p. 223). For carrying out the data collection, the appropriate methods should be applied. In the research, the data collection could be done through the interview, for example, face-to-face and telephone interview. To collect the data by using interview technique, the questionnaire is commonly employed as the instrument for gathering data, the questionnaire could be able to distribute by mail or electronic mail. In addition, the data collection could be conducted by observation of individuals with or without audio or video recording. Before choosing the methods for data collection the expertise of the researcher, the degree of accuracy required, time and resources must be taken into consideration. Thus,

The objective of this chapter is to describe the procedures used in the analysis of the data and present the main findings. It also presents the different tests performed to help choose the appropriate model for the study. The chapter concludes by providing thorough statistical interpretation of the findings.
