Topic	B8, would you do me a favor and take this survey for my research methods class?

Paratroopa1 posted... foolm0r0n posted... Paratroopa1 posted... "choose the statement that best fits your opinion" or whatever What else would "agree/disagree" mean? Like do you think you are determining reality by clicking "agree" on one of these? The phrasing is vague, none of the statements are prefaced by something like "I think most heroin addicts are..." or something to that effect; "heroin addicts are x" feels like an incomplete statement. The answer is obviously yes for some people and no for some other people, so the questions should be a little more narrow. So part of this issue is that because this is research for class vs for thesis or what have you, and because it's only a one-semester class, we weren't creating any of these sections from scratch, but rather, using scales from other studies that fit our needs. This helps streamline the process by both keeping us from spending an inordinate amount of time coming up with survey questions and by making approval by the school's IRB much much faster. Unfortunately, that also hamstrings us somewhat with regards to changing how the questions appear and are worded. It's not going to be published or anything, it's more for us to try to come up with a research question, figure out how to investigate it, gather data and interpret the data. If we (it's a group project, btw) made errors along the way, that's on us, but it's also not the end of the world, either. --- "Mighty boobs." - Vlado <cite>CherryCokes posted [p:890718633] in B8, would ...
