What problem does it solve?
Guides researchers in designing survey instruments for experimental social science, addressing how to craft questions, build reliable scales, structure survey flow, plan pretests, manage respondent burden, and mitigate bias in sensitive questions.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Question Construction: Provide item-specific wording, avoid double-barreled items, and use cognitive interviews to validate interpretation.
- Scale Design & Validation: Recommend 5- to 7-point scales with labeled endpoints, decide on unipolar vs bipolar formats, and pre-specify index construction rules.
- Survey Flow & Pretesting: Plan warm-up items, treatment placement, buffer blocks, and conduct cognitive interviews and two rounds of piloting (content and logistical soft launches).
