Surveys02:16

Surveys

15.2K
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.

Self-Report Tests of Personality01:22

Self-Report Tests of Personality

440
Self-report inventories are objective personality assessments that use multiple-choice items or numbered scales, typically ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). They are often called Likert scales after Rensis Likert. These inventories are widely used due to their ease of administration and cost-effectiveness. One of the most prominent examples is the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), initially developed in the 1940s to assess abnormal personality traits.

Data Collection by Survey

6.9K
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...

Assessment of the Gastrointestinal System I: Subjective Data

259
Assessing the gastrointestinal (GI) system is a complex process that begins with collecting subjective data. This data, collected through patient interviews, provides crucial insights into the patient's health history, perception patterns, and lifestyle habits, all contributing significantly to GI health.
Health History
The initial step in assessing the GI system is obtaining a comprehensive health history. This includes inquiring about the patient's history or presence of problems...

Measures of Intelligence01:29

Measures of Intelligence

7.8K
Psychologists measure intelligence by using standardized tests that produce a score known as the intelligence quotient or IQ. To understand IQ tests, it's important to recognize the key principles behind their construction: validity, reliability, and standardization.
Validity refers to how well a test measures what it claims to measure. An intelligence test should accurately assess intelligence rather than another characteristic, like anxiety. Criterion validity is one way to evaluate this;...

Convenience Sampling Method00:55

Convenience Sampling Method

9.4K
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:

  • Nursing Research
  • Methodology
  • Health Sciences

Background:

  • Structured questionnaire development is crucial for robust data collection.
  • Existing information sources often lack detail or use complex statistical methods, confusing nurse researchers.
  • A clear process mitigates complexity in developing self-administered questionnaires.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline a structured process for developing self-administered questionnaires.
  • To emphasize the importance of face, content, and construct validity.
  • To detail reliability testing procedures for questionnaires.

Main Methods:

  • A sequential, five-step approach to questionnaire development is presented.
  • Steps include assessing existing tools, drafting, expert review, pilot testing, and factor analysis.
  • Focus on question styles, comprehension, and acquiescent bias is incorporated.

Main Results:

  • The structured approach ensures key concepts like validity and reliability are addressed.
  • Expert panel review establishes content validity and inter-rater reliability.
  • Pilot testing and factor analysis confirm construct validity and reliability.

Conclusions:

  • A systematic, five-step process yields a credible and robust self-administered questionnaire.
  • Thorough assessment of validity and reliability strengthens data collection tools.
  • This enhances the overall quality and credibility of research findings.
