A prompt about 'unprompted' survey results |
Some researchers, even experienced ones, refer to some forms of survey results as “unprompted”. We argue not only that there’s no such thing, but that thinking “unprompted” is a dangerous and biased pastime. |
Free questionnaire template critiqued |
We critique a typical "expert-certified" free questionnaire template. The results are not pretty and your research will suffer if you use them. |
Secondary data answers marriage equality question |
The Australian Government is conducting a $120m+ ‘polling’ exercise to determine if there is majority electorate support for marriage equality. But we already know the correct answer, and it’s a resounding Yes. |
Survey respondent incentives - the lowdown |
Sometime it's necessary to offer potential respondents an incentive to participate in a survey. There's ample opportunity to unnecessarily increase research costs and decrease response rates if you don't know what you're doing. |
The danger of generic questionnaire templates |
Using a free generic questionnaire template for your survey is likely to yield very limited or possibly even misleading insights. |
