In this task, you will begin to create your own survey research. Below is a list of tasks within this assignment.
1. Create a draft of your survey in Microsoft Word. The survey should be about 10 minutes long. The topic of your survey should be something that is of interest to you. Some sample topics include gender differences in sexual attitudes, cultural influences on parenting styles, drug use in adolescents, and so on.
Here are two websites on writing surveys that can provide you with more information about survey design: Survey Research and Designing a Survey. Please note that the data collected by your survey will and should not be used outside of this course or this term. The survey creation and data collection are educational exercises for the purposes of learning more about surveys as a research method.
2. The draft of the survey is due by Thursday at 11:59 p.m. of your local time zone. Your instructor will provide feedback on your survey by Sunday night of this week.
3. In Module Four, you will use the feedback from this module and use the Qualtrics software to create the survey you will give to participants. You may want to open your account and become familiar with the software so that you are ready to use it in Module Four.
It is important to program your materials exactly how you want participants to see them. Remember to register for your SNHU Qualtrics account by following the instructions in the Creating a Qualtrics Account handout prior to beginning work on this task. (Refer to the Qualtrics Support website and the instructional video for assistance.)
For additional details, please refer to the Creating the Survey Draft Guidelines and Rubric document in the Assignment Guidelines and Rubrics section of the course.
Worksheet: Hypothesis and Methodology
Review the critical elements that must be addressed in the final project. Use this worksheet to develop Milestone Two.
I. Introduction
a. State your hypothesis. The hypothesis should be logical and appropriate to the topic you want to research.
b. Explain where your hypothesis fits in the context of the literature review. [Discuss how the hypothesis is related to the literature you have reviewed. Is it the same? Different? Or logically derived from research you have presented? Be sure to discuss how you have come to the hypothesis based on research.]
c. Discuss specific examples from relevant literature that support your hypothesis. [Provide one or two examples of research that support your hypothesis. They can be examples from the research you have presented in the literature review.]
II. Methods
a. Explain the research design and method you selected, and justify why they are appropriate for your research. [Here you should describe your research method and explain why you have chosen this method. Please refer to page 29 in the APA Manual to learn how to properly divide the method section into subsections.]
b. Discuss the research participants that will be involved in your study, including how they will be selected and how many will be used. [You should begin by describing the group of people you will need to participate in your study. You should mention specific characteristics like age, gender, etc. that will be needed for your study. Additionally, discuss how many are needed and where they will be recruited from.]
