Survey Research: A Summary of Best Practices | Ethics Resource Center - 0 views

  • Questions should not be leading. Questions should only ask for one piece of information. Questions need to be relevant to the topic of interest. Questions and response categories should be suitably designed and coded for the necessary statistical analyses. Questions should not be threatening to the participants. Questions should use language appropriate to the participants. Questions should be organized in a logical manner.
  • Another important consideration is the treatment of human subjects. Ensuring confidentiality or anonymity is of vital importance. Participants need to feel they have the ability to speak freely without the fear that answers will be traced back to them. This is especially important when conducting an organizational survey or when the topic of the survey is sensitive or controversial in nature. A careful script must be written that can either be read to the participants or attached to the survey. The script should explain the purpose of the survey, how they were selected to participate, that it is voluntary and their confidentiality or anonymity will be protected.

Data Sets | Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project - 3 views

  •  
    An excellent database of survey research statistics from the Pew Trust's "Internet & American Public Life Project." There are some great examples here for modeling how to structure survey questions and write up survey research. Their reports are also very interesting -- especially the "trend" info. (Thanks to Matt for the heads up.)

Amazon.com: Cartoon Guide to Statistics (9780062731029): Larry Gonick, Woollcott Smith:... - 1 views

    If you're struggling a bit with stats (or are just more of a "visual" learner), don't be embarrassed about buying this book. Yes, it looks a lot like a comic book, but the stats are solid. Admittedly, it doesn't go into super advanced procedures, but it does make a handy companion to a more advanced (but perhaps less user friendly) grad level text.

    A handy quick reference on CIPA, COPA, and students' first amendment rights compiled by R. Brent Minney, Esq. This is particularly worth reviewing and bookmarking for those of you interested in developing online tools, resources, games, or curricula where minors would be among your audience or user base, and those of you planning on using the web to collect research data (e.g. through online surveys.)
