Question Considerations
• Will the participant understand the question?
• Will the question itself change the way a person
thinks?
• Do the response options cover the construct?
• What are we going to do with the data?
– What question are we trying to answer?
– How much time, effort, and money are we willing to
spend in coding and analyzing responses?
• Does the format increase or decrease the
probability of responding?

Does it Matter?
If you were investigating whether the
length of time it took for an employee to
report sexual harassment (1 day versus 3
months) influenced jurors decisions,
