What is the easiest questionnaire to use a research study?
I'm looking for like a Yes or No type survey and its name, preferably from a university.
What is the easiest questionnaire to use a research study?
Look up the Rosenberg self-esteem scale online. It's used in a lot of real psychological research. Maybe it would work for your purposes. And it's only got 10 items.
Reply:If you want to do a research study you will be shocked to find out that questionnaires are the hardest ways to do a study. Much easier to do an experiment (my profs tell us that many students go the questionaire route because they think its easier only to find out its loads more difficult).
As far as finding a survey for you, you should really do that for yourself... its your study/homework (i'm assuming this will be for class).

Where can a find the best software for a questionnaire template?
Free or for a fee, I need software that I can tool around with for adding questions and print them in a nice, easy-to-read format. I want to be able to print this off or e-mail it to customers so that it looks highly professional and is easy to edit/use. Thank you!
Where can a find the best software for a questionnaire template?
You could go here :-
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templa...
BUT.
How about using your own word processor (eg Word 2000).
You can open up a new document and bring up "Table" and customise it.
It is really easy.

What methods of information collection could I use to improve the result of the questionnaire?
I can only think of two
Interviews- is a discussion which aiming at obtaining information, especially in asking questions
Observation - is noting and recording something while taking some notes where necessary
BUT WHAT ELSE COULD BE USED?
What methods of information collection could I use to improve the result of the questionnaire?
Focused Groups. A small ( 10-15 ) group of people that hold discussions prompted by a facilitator. This person steers the conversation to get to the bottom of the issue, without telling the group what the real issue is .
Example: talk about beverages , but without telling them that the facilitator wants to find out what people think of a specific brand of orange juice.
Questionnaires: A written questionnaire that goes from general to specific : number of questions vary depending on the survey level ( from 10 questions up to 100 questions)
Census data collection : If questionnaire deals with socio-economic or geographical issues.
Reply:In research, there are generally several types, and you have already identified 2 of them.
First, note that there is qualitative research (generally asks how, or what, and is open ended.. example: "Why do people make web pages?") and there is quantitative research (generally asks how many, or to what degree, and involves numbers... example: "What percentage of people in my neighborhood have web pages?")
Then there are further sub-categories...
1) Historical - looking up books, articles, and prior studies to help find information that other people already wrote about.
2) Textual Analysis - observing a text (like a movie, commercials, books, magazines, etc...) for content and emergent themes. For example, in observing the show "The Flintsones", one can see that it was obviously developed with humor that appeals to adults and children and was the first cartoon to market to adults.
3) Ethnography - This is what you called observation. Is watching a situation or environment from the outside to see what happens, generally for an extended period of time. For example, some researchers join tribes in the forest in order to see how they live.
4) And of course, Interveiwing. A good way to get more info from your respondents is to ask open ended statements--- for example:
Tell me about your childhood.
What do you think of _______?
Etc...
Doing this allows the person to tell a story rather than just answer yes or no.
Hope that all helps!

How to get Sexual Orientation on the Census questionnaire?
I emailed the Customer Service Center at the Census Bureau asking what would be the procedure to add Sexual Orientation in the demographics section (alongside race, sex, age, marital status) of the Census questionaire.
Robert Clair of the Census Bureau replied to me that it won't ever happen because "behavioral or preference issues are not really the domain or purpose of the decennial census program."
He suggested I write to my Congressional representatives and to the US Office of Management and Budget.
Wow. Sexual orientation is not included because the Census Bureau considers being homo a choice.
Any ideas of what to do in addition to contacting the Senators and Reps and the US Office of Management and Budget?
How to get Sexual Orientation on the Census questionnaire?
I don't think sexual orientation is ultimately (or rather, entirely) a choice either, but it does seem beyond the scope of the census. I'm pretty sure they don't keep track of height, IQ, or hair/eye color either, even though those are at least partly genetic and those can affect our lives and society. It would be interesting to know exactly how many homosexuals there are, I suppose, but probably not useful outside of trivia. Good night!
Reply:The census bureau is just supposed to count us. All the other crap is just making the job more expensive for the tax payers. I don't care what color every one is, much less who they screw. Just tell us how many of us there are and call it good.
Reply:Homosexuality is both a choice and 'written into the code.' It changes per person. Normally, males will be either all or nothing (written), with females having a more fuzzy zone (either). Check out farm animal studies (rams in particular) for the whole instincts thing. We've all got em.
Reply:When one gives in to deviant urges, it does not mean they were born that way, it simply means they have given in to deviant urges. If homosexuality were natural, one could not change said circumstance, yet the data is overwhelming that many have....
Reply:while we are at it, why don't you ask the census to add a question for favorite color?
Reply:I think by "preference issues" refers to sexual preference, i.e. do you prefer males or females.
Reply:Sexual orientation should not be on the census, and I can't understand your desire to have it included.
Let me make it clear, it is no business of anyones (including the government) what your or my sexual orientation is.

Is it possible to compare responses from two different Likert scales?
I am wondering if it is possible to compare a 5 point likert scale with 4 point likert scale on SPSS? Should the scales on both of my questionnaires be the same?
Is it possible to compare responses from two different Likert scales?
i think so this comparison is difficult.
