Research Participation Assignment
Please answer these questions
in full sentences. This is not an Essay, just answer the questions below after taking the test. Each
response should be between
one sentence and one
paragraph. You are welcome
to download and type your
answers directly into this form, or create your own document
with responses. If typing directly in the document, please write
your responses in a different color or font so I can easily find
them.
Part One: Research Participant
Please go to the Psychological Research on the Net website:
http://psych.hanover.edu/Research/exponnet.html .
Look through the surveys listed there and find one that interests you and that you are eligible for. You can choose any survey on this particular website. Before you start, write down the name of the survey and the purpose of the study here:
1. Name of Survey Chosen:
2. Purpose of Study
(Most likely found in the
consent form):
Take the survey and please
answer the questions seriously. Because you are participating in someone’s real research,
Do not to falsify any results.
I will not ask you to tell me any of YOUR answers to the test, but I will ask for your initial
response/reaction in the final
section of the assignment.
As you are taking the test,
please also focus on the
experience. What was
comfortable? What wasn’t’?
Were any questions or
directions unclear? Were any
questions leading? You may
find it helpful to jot down some notes about these reactions as you go along.
Part Two: Response Questions
Again, please answer in full
sentences. DO NOT tell me any of your answers on the quiz, just evaluate the experience from
the perspective of a research
participant.
1. What was the
experience of taking a
psychological survey online like for you overall?
2. Do you think you would be more honest on a
survey like this if you were
completing it yourself or
being interviewed by someone else? Would you be
more comfortable
face-to-face or online?
3. Did you notice any
questions that were
unclear or leading? In what ways?
4. Do you think this survey, or online surveys in general, are likely to have a
representative sample?
Why or why not?
5. Any other observations you want to make about
your experience
(optional)?
Now, I would like you to switch
roles and pretend that you are a researcher investigating the
topic of the survey you took.
Think about how you might
utilize this particular survey and how you might improve it.
Again, please respond in
complete sentences.
1. Using just the questions presented in the survey (as you remember them), what relationships (correlations) might you investigate?
Pick two variables or
sections on the survey that might be interesting to
compare. What relationship do you predict exists
between the two (positive, negative, no correlation)?
2. What might you do to
improve the survey? How
might you make it more
user friendly, current, etc.
3.What questions might
you add to the survey to gain more information on the topic? What else would you be interested in knowing
that was not present?
4. What steps would you
take as a research to use
this survey ethically?
How might you protect the confidentiality of participants taking this survey?
