An undergraduate student named Nicki created a Questionnaire Preview the documentView in a new windowto gain<br />

insight into people’s attitudes toward online shopping. To determine the attributes relevant to his study, Nicki first<br />

conducted face-to-face interviews. Then based on a rigorous analysis of those interviews, he developed the<br />

questionnaire. Read through Nicki’s proposed questionnaire and answer the following questions.<br />

Discussion Topic:<br />

Nicki’s questionnaire starts with questions seeking personal information from the respondents. Some researchers ask<br />

for personal data at the end rather than the beginning of the questionnaire. Which do you prefer and why?<br />

Nicki uses a lot of closed questions that ask respondents to make choices among a set of alternatives given by the<br />

researcher. In closed questions, care must be taken to ensure that the alternatives are mutually exclusive and<br />

collectively exhaustive. Are there any of Nicki’s questions that are not mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive?<br />

If so, which ones? Tell how you might revise those questions to make them mutually exclusive and collectively<br />

exhaustive.<br />

Poor phrasing of questions can cause respondents to refuse to answer them or to answer incorrectly (either on<br />

purpose or because of misunderstanding). Do you think any of Nicki’s questions are poorly worded and should be<br />

reworded? If so, which ones and how would you reword the items?<br />
