Objective: The purpose of this assignment is to give the opportunity to create a questionnaire and think
through how to ask appropriate questions for research. Questionnaire must be clearly linked
to the research question and topic (see below). You should apply what we learned in lecture to
the construction of your questionnaire.
Using the appropriate techniques, your task is to create a 20-question self-administered
questionnaire on the topic below that focuses both on opinions/beliefs and behaviours. Your
questionnaire should contain:
1. Introductory remarks
2. Instructions at the beginning of your questionnaire and where appropriate throughout
3. 4-5 questions to obtain demographic characteristics about your respondents
4. 1-2 open-ended questions
5. 1 contingency question
6. 1-2 partially open-ended questions
7. 10-13 closed-ended questions that ask about opinions/beliefs and behaviours (at least 5 of
those questions should have Likert responses; strongly agree, agree etc.)
