Introduction:
Survey Data Collection and Conducting Research on the Internet
Researchers spend years of study to learn the nuances of instrument development. Survey development is a challenging endeavor that involves pilot testing, statistical analysis, and may involve factor analysis and inter-item reliability analysis. These statistical analyses help establish psychometric properties that demonstrate instrument reliability and validity.
An alternative to instrument development is the use of pre-existing measures that contain established psychometric properties. The Library link in the Books and Resources for this week provides sources for established (valid and reliable) instruments (surveys). It is important that researchers develop a strong understanding of instrument validity and reliability regardless of whether they build their own survey, modify a pre-existing survey, or utilize a pre-existing survey in its totality.
With the advent of the internet, now there are a number of survey data collection tools, including sampling resources, surveys, and tools that assist researchers in increasing survey response rate, which facilitate reducing non-response bias.
