Designing Questionnaires
• Print questionnaires as a booklet• No questions on the front or back covers• Put most important and topic-related
questions at the beginning• Put potentially objectionable questions near
the end• Place personal (demographic) questions last• Create sections of questions based on content• Within sections group questions of similar type
together• Create a vertical flow of questions

Implementing Mail Surveys• Advance letter• The survey packet• First follow-up• Second follow-up
![Page 7: The Complete Design Data Collection Methods Part Three.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56649d3e5503460f94a16b5e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Mailing List Management

The Advance Letter• Personalized and signed in ink• Mailed one week before the
survey packet• Tells people that the
questionnaire is coming• Briefly states why the survey is
being done• Explains that participation will
be greatly appreciated
![Page 9: The Complete Design Data Collection Methods Part Three.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56649d3e5503460f94a16b5e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The Survey Packet• One week after advance letter• Personalized cover letter • Survey instrument• Business reply envelope• Project synopsis and informed
consent form

The Cover Letter
• Extremely Important• Personalized and signed in ink• The cover letter explains:
– What the study is about– Why the recipient’s participation is
important– Promises confidentiality– Describes usefulness of the study– Notes reward for participation– Provides a point-of-contact for questions
![Page 11: The Complete Design Data Collection Methods Part Three.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56649d3e5503460f94a16b5e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Informed Consent• Required when Federal funds
are used• Informed consent is a
mandatory and integral component of research involving human subjects
• See the UCSB site: http://research.ucsb.edu/connect/pro/prs1.shtml
• Human subjects may not be involved in research prior to providing and obtaining informed consent from each
![Page 13: The Complete Design Data Collection Methods Part Three.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56649d3e5503460f94a16b5e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Basic Elements of Informed Consent
• A point of contact (include name, address and phone number)
• The purpose of the study and a clear explanation of what the respondent will be required to do
• An explanation of any risks or discomforts the subject may experience
• A statement describing any benefits to the subjects or potential benefits to society.
• Clearly describe how confidentiality will be maintained.• A statement informing participants their participation is
"voluntary" and they may decline to answer specific questions AND withdraw their participation at anytime without penalty.
• A statement informing subjects the amount of time that will be required for their participation.

Follow-up Mailings
• First follow-up mailing– Mailed to all members of the sample about 1 week
after survey packet is mailed– Postcard thanking those that have already
responded and a gentle nudge to those that have not
• Second follow-up mailing– Mailed to non-respondents about 3 weeks after
survey packet– Cover letter states that you have not yet received
their questionnaire– Includes complete survey packet

Take Home Lessons• Appeal directly to the subjects• Use appropriate language• Make the questionnaire as easy
to complete as possible• Good follow-up is imperative

Design PrinciplesDillman’s Tailored Design Method (based
on his Total Design Method:• Establish trust with the respondent
(e.g., provide a token of appreciation in advance, make the task appear important, show sponsorship by legitimate authority);
• Increase the respondents’ expectation of receiving a reward from participation (e.g., show positive regard, say thank you, give tangible rewards, make questionnaires interesting); and
• Reduce the social costs to the respondent (e.g., avoid subordinating language, make the questionnaire short and easy, and minimize requests for personal information)
![Page 19: The Complete Design Data Collection Methods Part Three.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56649d3e5503460f94a16b5e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Design Principles from KONTIV and Travel Behavior Research
• The researcher should design the survey for the respondents;
• Survey instruments should be written in simple language and be easy to understand and complete;
• The research should establish trust with the respondents;
• Respondents should receive a reward from participation;
• The costs to the respondent should be minimized; and
• The day-planner booklet format is the most useful design for activity diaries

Household Questionnaire & Activity Diary• A cover letter describing the project and the
purpose of the survey. It also provided a point of contact for additional information about the survey.
• A “Project Synopsis and Informed Consent Form,” as required by federal regulations, providing a point of contact for questions about the survey, describes the purpose of the survey, explaining any risks and/or benefits of participation, describing the confidentiality procedures, and indicating that the survey is voluntary.
• The questionnaire (survey instrument) was used to collect the data necessary for the study. It is in booklet form and designed to minimize the effort required on the part of the respondent. The majority of questions were “close-ended.”
• A business reply envelope was included in the packet to facilitate return of the completed survey forms.
• Contest Flyer describing the lottery (see below) and a contest entry card.

The Activity Diary• Modified day-planner format• Open-ended answers• Respondent choice of detail• Four different formats for:
– Employed (full- or part-time) outside the home–White cover
– Not employed outside the home–Peach cover
– Children age 18 and under–Blue cover
– University students–Blue cover

What to work on…
• Continue survey design
• Tomorrow we DO have lecture. It will be on attitudes and personality questions.
