This survey is just to help me with my research aspect of my summer project. for this questionnaire I have asked the basic questions relating to the virus, asking about how people coped with lockdown and what they were doing during lockdown.
Here is an example of my questionnaire questions below:
Example of people's answers to my questions
This here as I say is to help me with my research for creating my posters and it is interesting to see what people think about the COVID 19 and how its effected them- it was interesting to read the questionnaire statistics.
I found out on the google results for the advantages for creating questionaires for research purposes saying the following on this link https://www.le.ac.uk/oerresources/lill/fdmvco/module9/page_51.htm:
Advantages of Questionnaire: said below.
9. The advantages and disadvantages of questionnaires
The advantages of questionnaires
- Practical
- Large amounts of information can be collected from a large number of people in a short period of time and in a relatively cost effective way
- Can be carried out by the researcher or by any number of people with limited affect to its validity and reliability
- The results of the questionnaires can usually be quickly and easily quantified by either a researcher or through the use of a software package
- Can be analysed more 'scientifically' and objectively than other forms of research
- When data has been quantified, it can be used to compare and contrast other research and may be used to measure change
- Positivists believe that quantitative data can be used to create new theories and / or test existing hypotheses
The disadvantages of questionnaires
- Is argued to be inadequate to understand some forms of information - i.e. changes of emotions, behaviour, feelings etc.
- Phenomenologists state that quantitative research is simply an artificial creation by the researcher, as it is asking only a limited amount of information without explanation
- Lacks validity
- There is no way to tell how truthful a respondent is being
- There is no way of telling how much thought a respondent has put in
- The respondent may be forgetful or not thinking within the full context of the situation
- People may read differently into each question and therefore reply based on their own interpretation of the question - i.e. what is 'good' to someone may be 'poor' to someone else, therefore there is a level of subjectivity that is not acknowledged
- There is a level of researcher imposition, meaning that when developing the questionnaire, the researcher is making their own decisions and assumptions as to what is and is not important...therefore they may be missing something that is of importan
