Avoiding Social Desirability
• Is very hard
• Try to make respondents feel “normal”
This third section is about social attitudes and values. There is a
lot of talk about discrimination and racial prejudice, and different
people have different views on the size of such problems, their
causes and what should be done about them. There are no right
or wrong answers, it is your honest opinions we are looking for. If
you do not wish to answer any of these questions please use the
option “prefer not to say”.

German School System
• 1 (sehr gut, very good) is the best possible grade and is given for
outstanding performance
• 2 (gut, good) is the next-highest and is given for performance that
meets the standard completely and is above-average
• 3 (befriedigend, satisfactory) indicates "average" performance.
• 4 (ausreichend, sufficient) is the lowest passing grade and is given if
the standard has been met but with a number of notable errors.
• 5 (mangelhaft, deficient) is the higher of two failing grades and is
given if the standard has not been met but the basics have been
understood.
• 6 (ungenügend, insufficient) is the lowest possible grade and is given
if the standard has not been met and the basics have not been
understood.

Item-in-a-series
“When one has to ask a series of
questions that use the same answer
categories it is convenient to combine
them into a [grid/matrix format].
Combining them into this ‘item-in-a-
series’, with a common introduction
that defines the general question and
response format, eliminates
considerable redundancy with regard
to stating questions, it also saves
considerable space”

Item-in-a-series
“but do it carefully”
• Items are now in a comparative
framework
• Visual rendering makes them a unit
“if the sponsor wants individuals to
contemplate each item separately, it is
advisable to present each of them as
individual items”

Anything else wrong with grids?
• Yes, we use the wrong scale for the construct
Pete Cape, SSI, UK

Beware of the agree-disagree question
• Make your scale answers the appropriate ones

training course is extremely useful?
Agree extremely
Very much agree
Somewhat agree
Neither agree nor disagree

Summary
• The questionnaire is a mixture of art and science
• The art of writing well, of motivating respondents
• The science of writing precisely, avoiding bias
• Everything has meaning
• You are supposed to know what it means
• There are better ways of asking questions
• There are better ways of collecting answers
• You might as well do the best you can
Pete Cape, SSI, UK
April Lecture Series 2014
Summary
• Questionnaire writing
• (and understanding why it is important)
• Sets us apart from others
• And has real value
Pete Cape, SSI, UK
April Lecture Series 2014
Summary - Principles
• Respondents know they are in an experiment
• They think everything they see, hear or read is deliberate, and
has meaning
• They want to please
• Questionnaire motivates the respondent to provide
— complete answers
— accurate answers
• It communicates to the respondent
• It helps the respondent work out their answers
• It makes the respondents task easy
Pete Cape, SSI, UK
April Lecture Series 2014
And guess what?
• If it was easy do you think there
would be textbooks on it?
