The best practices for survey research include making items and questions clear, avoiding double-barreled questions, and asking competent respondents who are willing to answer survey questions. In regard to asking the correct survey questions, they should be short and to the point, relevant, and they should avoid biased terms and negative items. My research question is, “How do family fun time activities affect family involvement?” To operationalize the dependent variable, which is parental involvement, the survey question that will be used is, “On a scale of 0-10 (0 being not at all, 10 being very involved), how involved were you in the family fun time activity?” The attributes will include a scale from zero to ten for the family to answer. To operationalize the independent variable, which is the activity given to the family to participate in and complete, the question that will be used is, “Did your family complete the activity?” The attributes to answer this question will be “yes,” “no,” “partially,” “unsure.” These are good, well written questions because they are clear, avoid double-barreled questions, are short and to the point, and they avoid biased and negative terms.
