PSY-RSS03 Questionnaire Construction

0.5 semester credits


In this course students will learn the theory and practice of questionnaire construction, whether creating a simple background questionnaire, or developing more complex instruments. The focus of this seminar will be to design questionnaires to be used for research purposes rather than clinical applications. Students will also get practice and guidance on using Word or WordPerfect to format questionnaires in a way that invites participants to complete them and avoid confusion, which can lead to unusable responses. Web-applications are also covered.
