Descriptive Research

Questionnaire is set of questions which could be written or multiple choice question given to the individuals or groups to find the factual information.

I’m also more aware of the use of open-ended questions which enable the person talking to identify and clarify their experiences and feelings in relation to the problem that they’re dealing with. I’ve noticed how useful they are in giving the speaker freedom and choice about where they want to go with their story. They don’t demand a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ response so the speaker can explore further and doesn’t feel pressurised into offering a definitive answer. Closed questions do have a part to play in a helping interaction – for example when it comes to clarifying certain information – but they don’t help someone to move forward in the exploration of their concerns.

* Mary should use a hybrid questionnaire i.e. one containing both open-ended and closed-ended questions. Thus a mix of both should be used as closed questions will give us facts and open questions will provide us with opinions and feelings.

Questionnaires are “a series of questions asked to individuals to obtain statistically useful information about a given topic” (Bryant, L, 2014). There are different types of questionnaires that include face to face, phone, post and online.

4. What are the limitations of the survey method, and how would you overcome the limitations of this research method, or any research approach?

6) Prepare the survey for analysis. Set up the code sheet for this study. How will this study be set up to be tabulated by a statistical analysis program like SPSS?

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.

I utilized both open-ended and close-ended surveys to show and establish credibility. With close-ended questions, my respondents were able to choose from a numerous amount of choices to establish their answers. Even more, with the open-ended questions my respondents did not feel limited and instead they were able to tell me anything they believed to be relevant to my study. Most importantly, I was able to gather any possible information that my respondents desired me to know. On April 17th, 2018 I created an online survey on a website known as Survey Monkey. I sent the survey link to my respondents through social media and messages to gather their opinions on certain breeds. I created four different questions to be answered. Three out of the four were open-ended and only one was a close-ended question. My study is opinion-based therefore it is a must to have as many questions that do not limit the respondent but instead allow them to not feel limited with their responses. The four questions I asked my respondents

The question that I selected was open ended. My question is opened ended because I am asking my client to explore something. My rational for choosing this question was because I did not want to come off as blaming Mr. K for anything. The test was very clear about that. I could have asked something such as why did you divorce your wife? This question could cause my client to get angry because he may or may not have filed for divorce. Therefore since I was dealing with a sensitive topic I thought that it was better to ask him to describe the

Next, you would decide on how to word the questions, then you establish how you want the flow of the survey and ensure the questionnaire meets with the original objectives.

For me, I do not have enough knowledge about this project and there are so many topics that I do not have an enough in depth knowledge.And I am serious about the part of doing a questionnaire survey.

Making a relationship last is not an easy task. It takes communication, trust, understanding, love, and the list goes on. In an article, Psychologist figured out one trait that makes relationship last, by Drake Baer, the trait that holds a relationship together is to deal with conflict well. In a study, people were surveyed online on how the frequency of conflict influenced how they felt about their health of their relationship. In another study, couples were interviewed on conflicts in their relations and had to rate their satisfaction with each other. In conclusion of the study, people who felt understood by their significant other, were happier together. The article I read is an example of a descriptive study- survey

The providers ask question of patients for therapeutic use so they can be able to communicate with one another. This is a way that health care provider gather vital information that is useful in the assessment of the patients. It also allows the provider understand any issues that the patient maybe having. There are different questions format a provider can choose to use to gather information from their patients. There are closed-ended question, open-ended question format, and multiple-choice question format. According to the book, “Closed-ended questions have the effect of restricting the patient’s range of response.” This format doesn’t allow the patient to really express their feeling, pain, or concerns. The book mentioned, that closed-ended

The strength of questionnaires is it can give an insight into respondent’s thoughts and opinions and also cost efficient as it is inexpensive.

This study uses a descriptive research method. Descriptive research tends to combine both qualitative and quantitative methods in its approach. The aim of descriptive research is not to discover a clear cut, cause-and-effect relationship so much as illustrate the realities of a situation at its surface, leaving the analysis of those facts to the researcher.
