Surveys

14.3K
Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Data Collection by Survey01:07

Data Collection by Survey

7.5K
The systematic method of obtaining and analyzing accurate information of a population is called data collection. A survey is a standard method of data collection that involves collecting information from a target human population about their experience, opinion, or knowledge of a product, service, or process. The responses are recorded and interpreted. The most common survey examples are written questionnaires, face-to-face or telephonic conversations, focus groups, and electronic (e-mail or...

Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication

280
Since the early 2000s, computer-mediated communication (CMC) has grown rapidly, playing a crucial role in self-development. A key distinction between CMC and real-life interactions is the lack of a physically present partner. This absence makes non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, body language, and paralinguistic signals unavailable in CMC platforms like email, instant messaging, or social media. The lack of these cues can create ambiguity and complicate how feedback is interpreted.The...

Sample Proportion and Population Proportion01:20

Sample Proportion and Population Proportion

5.6K
Collecting samples or responses from an entire population takes significant time and effort, so a researcher collects responses from only a sample of that population. Suppose a study needs to collect information about a specific mobile application. After sample collection, the researcher analyzes the data and discovers that most individuals in the sample use that specific mobile application. The sample proportion measures the number of individuals in a sample who either use or don't use the...

Methods to Assess Microbial Communities

55
Microbial communities, comprising bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotic microorganisms, inhabit diverse ecosystems and play crucial roles in environmental and biological processes. Their diversity is defined by three main parameters: species richness (the number of distinct species), species abundance (the relative quantity of each species), and species evenness (how uniformly individual species are distributed in various locations). These factors together shape the structure and ecological balance...

Convenience Sampling Method00:55

Convenience Sampling Method

8.5K
Sampling is a technique to select a portion (or subset) of the larger population and study that portion (the sample) to gain information about the population. Data are the result of sampling from a population. The sampling method ensures that samples are drawn without bias and accurately represent the population.
Convenience sampling is a non-random method of sample selection; this method selects individuals that are easily accessible and may result in biased data. For example, a marketing...

Area of Science:

  • Health disparities research
  • Community-based participatory research
  • Mobile health (mHealth) interventions

Background:

  • Feasibility and acceptability of real-time text message surveys are unknown for low-income, urban African American adults.
  • Addressing data collection barriers in underserved populations is crucial for health equity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility and acceptability of using text messaging for real-time survey administration.
  • To compare text message surveys with traditional methods in a specific demographic group.

Main Methods:

  • A mixed-methods approach was employed, including paper surveys, text message surveys, and focus groups.
  • Daily text message surveys with varied question types were administered over six weeks.
  • Participant feedback was gathered through focus groups to understand preferences.

Main Results:

  • The study sample (n=20) was 100% African American, 90% female, with a median age of 30.7 years.
  • High response rates were observed for text message surveys (72% multiple choice, 76% Likert-like scales).
  • Participants overwhelmingly preferred text message surveys for their ease and convenience.

Conclusions:

  • Text messaging is a feasible and acceptable method for collecting real-time survey data in this community.
  • Text message surveys are the preferred data collection method among low-income, urban African American adults.
  • This approach can enhance engagement and data quality in health research with similar populations.
