The best practices for a survey question must include questions that are easy to follow and understand. A survey can help determine the information key to the research being studied. Questions that have multiple questions inside of them are confusing and almost always mess the study up. A question that is straightforward is easy to read, easy to answer, and contains only crucial information needed from the participant. The answers to these questions must also be straightforward and have any possible answer the participant may need. The answers to the questions can also be just one or as many as the participant selects. The best surveys are easily completed and straight to the point. Otherwise, the participants may not complete or mess the results up. My research question for this study is how much family involvement is required for family fun time activities. For a possible answer, there will be a scale from zero to ten, zero being none and ten being the most possible time spent.  For my independent variable, I am using the question, “Did the participant complete the family fun time activity”. The answer to this question will include the possible answers, yes, no, partially, or unsure. These questions are good because they will lead to key information on whether or not the families completed the activity. The question also is straightforward and is not confusing for the participant. It is also easy to read and easy to answer.
