I am conducting survey research on the family involvement in households. For the best survey research there must be a purpose of exploration, description, or explanation. The researcher must have stated the means for each concept and selected a research method, such as survey research. The researcher must develop a questionnaire that helps solicit information appropriate for analysis. The survey questions should be both open-ended and close-ended, so the respondents can create their own answers with open-ended questions or be asked to select an answer with a close-ended question. These questions must be clear and easy to understand, so there is not confusion during the survey for the respondent. The questions must also avoid double-barreled structure too, which is a single statement that contains two questions. Double-barreled questions are confusing to answer because the respondents may agree with one section, but not the other. The researcher must avoid negative items, keep the questions short, avoid bias terms, and make sure the questions are relevant to your research topic. My survey question to help operationalize my dependent variable is: How did Family Fun Time activities improve family involvement? For my independent variable: Does the number of guardians present in a household affect family involvement? My hypothesis is that if the families participate in Family Fun Time Activities, then the parents will be more interested in continuing activities after the study. These questions I have provided do not contain negative items nor bias terms. The questions are short and help capture the meaning of the research. The questions are not double-barring because there is one answer asked for by the question.
