Try designing a brief self-report measure!
Here are the steps:
1. Define a variable you would like to measure. For example, you can measure how much people love camping, people’s opinions about AI, etc.
2. Design a short (3 item) self-report survey to assess that variable.
3. Turn in a document outlining your variable, a definition of that variable, and your short survey.
You will be graded on how well your questions capture your variable of interest as well as the extent to which you incorporate one or more concepts from Module 3 Part 1 reading on constructing survey questions (“Survey Research”
Actions reading).
Effective questions are “brief,” “relevant,” “unambiguous,” “specific,” and “objective.” Furthermore, you should think about the order of your 3-items, if certain questions could influence subsequent answers place those questions later in the survey.
Note: you do NOT need an “Introduction” or instructions for your survey, please just list your 3 items immediately after the variable definition.
