Survey Research
What is survey research?- Descriptive research- Analytical Studies- Evaluation Research
“Research strategy not a research method”
Survey Research
Advantages•Produces empirical data
•Can better generalize a population
•Cost effective
Disadvantages●Lacks detail and depth●Significance can be neglected●Hard to achieve proper response rate
Survey Research
Research Methods
•Qualitative interview
•Internet Questionnaire
•Group Administration
•Outdated Methods
Survey Research
Designing the research tool
•Planning the content
•Questionnaire layout
•Question Design
•interview questions
•Piloting
Planning the content
•Enlist help from experts
•Lit search
Survey Research: Designing The Research Tool
Survey Research: Designing The Research Tool
Questionnaire layout
•Things to avoid
•Open vs. closed
•Response scales
Survey Research: Designing The Research Tool
Question Design
•Improving respondent recall
•Be specific
•Sensitive questions
Survey Research: Designing The Research Tool
Piloting
•Are the instructions clear?
•Do the questions make sense?
•Are sufficient response options available?
•Are any questions systematically missed?
Survey Research
Ethics
•Anonymity
•Confidentiality
•Integrity
•Informed Consent
•Voluntary Participation
Reliability and Validity
Reliability- Test-Retest- Alternate Form- Internal Consistency
Interobserver Reliabilityr > 0.70
Reliability and Validity
Test-Retest and Alternate Form Reliability
•If r>0.70 then reliable
•Test-retest is giving two similar test at different time periods
•Alternate form is similar of test-retest (changing the word of questions in a similar form or change the order)
Reliability and Validity
Internal Consistency Reliability Example
•using different surveys to test for the same thing (i.e.)
Reliability and Validity
Validity- Face- Content- Criterion- Construct
Reliability and Validity
Content Validity
•Face and construct validity
•Focuses on the content of the survey
Reliability and Validity
Face Validity
•checking to see if there is a clear purpose
•Does not focus on content, focuses on how relatable is it to the topic
Reliability and Validity
Construct Validity
•to prove that there are other material out there to support the test and the results
•if you construct a new survey but there is no previous research or studies on it then it may not have great validity
Reliability and Validity
Criterion Validity
•based on the performance of the construct theory
•if we have an existing survey that can allow for comparison with the new survey then this is concurrently valid.
•Ex. a new IQ test compared to a similar IQ test to check for validity
Survey Monkey
•How to create a survey
•Collect data
•How to analyze results
•Exporting documents
•Creator’s view vs the participant’s viewhttps://www.surveymonkey.com
Our Survey
•Combination of GPPAQ and BEQ
•Group: KIN and College of Science
•Process
Results
•Question 12 and 15 r=0.725 (reliable)
•Question 6 and 13 r=0.558 (not reliable)

Grounded Theory
- Reverse methods of empirical research- Steps- No literature review- Relatively higher creativity from researcher
Research Questions
• Identify the sample
• identifies the topic of interest
•Specific vs. narrow
Research Questions
• Is behavior counseling sufficient in converting people from inactive to an active lifestyle?
• Could household cleaning and gardening be enough physical activity to label someone as active?
• Testing the KIN and College of Science population, would we see more physical activity performance in KIN students than College of Science students?
Next Steps
•Create surveys for Bod Pod and pQCT
•Create and use surveys for research (i.e. comparing amount of physical activity for different majors, gender, or age groups)
•Develop guidelines to help students that are interested in utilizing survey methods in their research
