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. Positivists favour

In this part I will go through the questionnaire layout and construction. Then I will define the electronic survey and its advantages and disadvantages. In fact, there is no strong theoretical base for questionnaire design. All researchers have their own way born out from their experience and other previous researchers' experience. Moreover, "Questionnaire design is more of an art than science" (Oberski, 2015, p. 1). The questionnaire is defined as "a document containing serious of questions and

1. A researcher decides that the best way to insure a high response rate to a mail survey is to give the respondent $15 on receipt of the returned questionnaire. Is this a good practice to insure responses to the questionnaire? When conducting a mail survey, it is tempting to try anything and everything in order to ensure a high response rate, but this can actually end up biasing the data and rendering useless the results gleaned from the survey.

The primary reason for evaluating employee satisfaction is to attempt to identify the problem and try to resolve them before an impact on patient care can be seen (Ransom et al., 2012).

The design tool that I will use for my research case of study is the survey. Survey represents one of the most frequent types of quantitative in social science research. By utilizing the method of survey research, as a researcher I can cull a sample of respondents from a population and administers a uniform questionnaire to them; in this case the children ages 10- 13 yrs old and their parents from an aftercare program. The questionnaire, or survey, will be an indicated document that will be consummated

customers are bombarded with online surveys. Surveys may be simple to complete, however, some people simply don’t like to complete them.

engagement process around the issue of climate change that fails to systematically understand and incorporate individuals’ their values, beliefs, identities, goals, and social networks may fail to bring about the desired adaptive (and/or mitigative?) responses (2012).
