"TRUE" or "FALSE"? This questionnaire item (which uses a yes/no format): "Do you use objective test items or essay items?" violates the item construction rule of avoid using negative items.
"FALSE"
"TRUE" or "FALSE"? This questionnaire item (which uses a yes/no format): "Do you use objective test items or essay items?" violates the item construction rule of not leading the respondent to answer in a certain way.

"FALSE"
"TRUE" or "FALSE"? The practice of taking a small random sample of nonrespondents to a survey is primarily intended to identify outliers.
"FALSE"
"TRUE" or "FALSE"? The practice of taking a small random sample of nonrespondents to a survey is primarily intended to try to raise the percentage of returns to at least 50%.
"FALSE"
"TRUE" or "FALSE"? This questionnaire item (which uses a yes/no format): "Do you use objective test items or essay items?" violates the item construction rule of not using items that have two or more separate ideas in the same item.

"TRUE" or "FALSE"? When a national poll reports that its survey has a margin of error of 3%, it is referring to error due to misinterpreting the results.
"FALSE"

"TRUE"
"TRUE" or "FALSE"? When a national poll reports that its survey has a margin of error of 3%, it is referring to error due to sampling.
"FALSE"
"TRUE" or "FALSE"? Likert-type items are most difficult to analyze in a questionnaire study.
"TRUE"
"TRUE" or "FALSE"? Open-ended items items are most difficult to analyze in a questionnaire study.

Delphi survey method
DEFINITION A survey technique that asks a jury of experts to respond to a series of questionnaires in order to reach a consensus about important issues.
normative
FILL THE BLANK A researcher tests the knowledge about nutrition of 10,000 school children from the southwestern United States, and the scores are transformed into percentiles by grade level. This type of research is a ________ survey study.
Likert-type
FILL THE BLANK Scaled responses to questionnaire items such as strongly agree, agree, no opinion, and so on are referred to as ________ scale items.
INTRUDER: writing cover letter 1. determining objectives 2. delimiting the sample 3. writing items 4. pilot testing
FIND THE INTRUDER & PUT IN THE CORRECT SEQUENCE The steps for developing a questionnaire are, in chronological order: - writing cover letter - pilot testing - determining objectives - delimiting the sample - writing items
"TRUE"
The major weakness of epidemiologic studies is the inability to experimentally establish cause and effect.
"FALSE"
The major weakness of epidemiologic studies is the insufficient information on diseases.
"FALSE"
The major weakness of epidemiologic studies is the insufficient time to collect data.
"FALSE"
The major weakness of epidemiologic studies is the small numbers of people as participants.
