Written by authors William F. Moroney and Joyce A. Cameron, the book explores how a well-designed questionnaire conceals the complexity of the task and facilitates completion.
This manual provides a systematic approach to questionnaire design for practitioners and researchers with little to no education or formal training. It provides practical instruction regarding what to do and how to do it, and supports these instructions with real-world examples and findings from scientific studies of various aspects of questionnaire design. An augmenting website contains additional guidance, examples and tools for success.
