Qualitative Interview Questionnaire Design Service

The primary research for your PhD thesis involves data collection related to your subject of study. The best way to collect data directly from the outside world is to conduct a survey, for which one requires a questionnaire. Whether you are mailing out surveys or conducting interviews, you have to frame questions intelligently so as to grasp the respondent's interest and make him/her feel comfortable to provide responses.

There are two types of questions for collecting information. The first one is open-ended or non-structured question and the other is called closed-ended or structured question. It is vital for a researcher to understand how and when to use these questions in a survey. You would usually find more of strategically designed open-ended questions when the data has to be captured for a qualitative study design.

Here we give you a few points to consider while framing questions:

• Avoid biased questions, double-barrelled questions, wordy or confusing questions, and irrelevant questions
• Keep them short and easy to read because longer and complex questions may result in inaccurate feedback.
• Keep them easy to answer; else, the respondents may provide wrong information or abandon your survey.
• Keep questions to a minimum.
• Use a constant rating scale for all survey questions.
• Make sure that the scale is balanced, that is providing an equal number of negative and positive response options.
• For all closed-ended questions, provide all possible answers and avoid the chances of overlapping between answer options.
• Word choices and definitions should be consistent throughout the survey.
• Avoid using technical jargons; the language should be familiar to respondents.
• Keep the questions precise and avoid words like "rarely" or "often".
