Thank you for your support Conducting a
Survey
Designing your Survey
Consider the following questions:
◦
◦
◦
◦
◦
◦
Who are you planning on surveying?
How many people are you going to survey?
How are you going to survey people?
How long is your survey going to be?
What type of questions are you going to ask?
What questions are you going to ask?
Who are you planning on surveying?
Decide what group you are going to focus on surveying based on who you have access to and
what your research is focused on.
How many people are you going to
survey?
You want to choose a target number of surveys to conduct. You don’t want too few surveys
because you won’t have enough answers to support any generalizations or findings you may
make. At the same time, you do not want too many surveys because you will be overwhelmed
with analyzing your data.
Minimum required is 25.
How are you going to survey people?
Conduct your survey online using an online tool like SurveyMonkey or google forms.
How long is your survey going to be?
Five questions.
What type of questions are you going to
ask?
Do you want open-ended questions or closed questions?
Open-ended questions are questions that allow the participant any type of response.
◦ An example of an open-ended question is: How are you feeling today?
A closed question is one with a set of possible responses or yes/no responses.
While closed questions are much easier to analyze they do not provide the rich responses you
may get with open-ended questions. Ultimately, what type of question you ask depends on what
you want to discover.
What type of questions are you going to
ask?
Multiple choice questions are questions with two or more answer options. Useful for all types
of feedback, including collecting demographic information. Answers can be “yes/no” or a choice
of multiple answers.
Example :
◦ Are you a PSU student? Yes / No
◦ How many times have you called our agency about this issue in the past month?
◦ Once
◦ Twice
◦ Three times
◦ More than three times
◦ Don’t know/not sure
What type of questions are you going to
ask?
Rating scale questions
This type of question is useful for determining the prevalence of an attitude, opinion, knowledge
or behavior.
There are two common types of scales:
◦ Likert scale
◦ Semantic differential scale
What type of questions are you going to
ask?
Likert scale
Participants are typically asked whether they agree or disagree with a
statement. Responses often range from “strongly disagree” to “strongly agree,”
with five total answer options. For scaled questions, it is important to include a
“neutral” category (Neither Agree nor Disagree).
Example:
What type of questions are you going
to ask?
What type of questions are you going to
ask?
Semantic differential scale
In a question using a semantic differential scale, the ends of the scale are labeled with
contrasting statements. The scales can vary, typically using either five or seven points.
Preparing your questions
Carefully consider the wording of your questions.
Pilot test your survey.
Edit your survey.
Preparing Your Questions
Incorporate the 5Ws (Who, What, Where, When, Why) plus How. Use the type of question that
will best elicit the information you seek. For example:
◦
◦
◦
◦
◦
Factual questions: Ask for specific information or facts.
Definitional questions: Elicit clarification or specific information.
Comparative questions: Look at two issues or objects to see if there is a correlation between the two.
Causal questions: Search for reasons.
Speculative questions: Look for a reflection or opinion.
Avoid those Types of Questions
Biased questions
Biased question: Don’t you agree that campus parking is a problem?
Revised question: Is parking on campus a problem?
Avoid those Types of Questions
Questions that assume what they ask
Biased question: There are many people who believe that campus parking is a problem. Are you
one of them?
Revised question: Do you agree or disagree that campus parking is a problem?
Avoid those Types of Questions
Double-barreled questions
Double-barreled question: Do you agree that campus parking is a problem and that the
administration should be working diligently on a solution?
Revised question: Is campus parking a problem? (If the participant responds yes): Should the
administration be responsible for solving this problem?
Avoid those Types of Questions
Confusing or wordy questions
Confusing questions: What do you think about parking? (This is confusing because the question
isn’t clear about what it is asking–parking in general? The person’s ability to park the car?
Parking on campus?) Do you believe that the parking situation on campus is problematic or
difficult because of the lack of spaces and the walking distances or do you believe that the
parking situation on campus is ok? (This question is both very wordy and leads the participant.)
Revised question: What is your opinion of the parking situation on campus?
Avoid those Types of Questions
Questions that do not relate to what you want to learn
Unrelated questions: Have you ever encountered problems in the parking garage on campus?
Do you like or dislike the bus system?
Putting the final touches on your survey
Add a descriptive title.
Include an introduction describing the reasons for the survey.
Make sure you have clear directions about completing the survey.
Add a space at the end for written comments.
Include information about how to return the survey.
Make sure to include an expression of appreciation for the time spent by the respondent.

INTELLIGENCE
Intelligence: Nature vs. Nurture
Roberts (n.d.) once said: “Every human mind is a great slumbering power until awakened by a keen desire and by definite
resolution to do.” Intelligence is defined as the potential for obtaining knowledge and skills and applying them. Intelligence is a
crucial aspect in our lives which helps us thrive in various fields. Certain tests have been created to measure one’s intelligence, known
as IQ tests. The majority of people assume that smart individuals are born that way. In reality, many environmental factors contribute
to intelligence. Thus, the individual’s environment is essential in determining cognitive performance because it alters the expression of
genes and has the power to either discourage or encourage intelligence.
The individual’s environment is essential in determining cognitive performance because it alters the expression of genes.
According to Kraus (2012), scientists have discovered that the social and economic status of an individual highly influences
intelligence. High socioeconomic status environments are enriching and able to unseal one’s cognitive capability, unlike low
socioeconomic environments. According to the survey conducted by G.A. AlAsaker & Y.S. AlTayash (Intelligence, November 21,
2018), the responses to the question “Who would be smarter, an intelligent person raised in a bad environment or an average person
raised in a good environment?” showed that people were evenly split between whether the environmental factors or the genes were the
dominant factor on intelligence. The idea that the way genes interact with the environment defines the outcome of a certain trait has
only recently been theorized. This is shown by the collected results since only half the responses were leaning towards environmental
factors. Even though decades ago the society as a whole, including scientists, believed that intelligence was only determined by
genetics. Fortunately, the advance of technology and medicine has proved otherwise.
In addition to that, the individual’s environment is essential in determining cognitive performance because it has the power to
either discourage or encourage intelligence. The human brain is nothing but a muscle like any other muscle in the body that can be
trained to achieve optimal mental capability. Thus, the production of brain training apps has surged over the last couple of years.
According to the survey conducted by G.A. Alasaker & Y.S. AlTayash (Intelligence, November 21, 2018), 98.31% of the people were
aware that intelligence can be improved, yet only 54% of them have tried mental training apps. This shows a lack of awareness,
motivation, and perseverance. Stokes (2017) showed that Peak and Lumosity are the most top-rated apps that provide daily training
sessions based on the user’s abilities. Hardy et al. (2015) conducted an experiment to test the effect of Lumosity on cognitive
functions. The participants were divided into a control group and an experimental group and were assessed before the experiment for
result comparison. The experimental group had to take a 15-minute Lumosity session 5 days per week for 10 weeks. Then both groups
were reassessed, and the results showed that the brain-trained group exhibited high improvement in all areas of cognitive abilities,
unlike the control group.
On the other hand, some people believe that genes solely determine intelligence. According to “Is intelligence determined by
genetics” (2018), researchers discovered that 75% of the individual’s intelligence is completely based on genetic factors. In addition to
that, people believe that intelligence is measurable as one form only. According to the survey conducted by G.A. Alasaker & Y.S.
AlTayash (Intelligence, November 21, 2018), 54% of the people assumed that intelligence can be measured. Although genetics affect
intelligence, they’re not the only factor. Lynch (2016) stated that a good socioeconomic environment allows individuals to benefit
from their genes. Scientists discovered that there are many forms of intelligence. The only form of intelligence people are aware of is
the logical/numerical intelligence, which is strongly linked to academic performance. As a result, society assumes that an individual is
INTELLIGENCE

not intelligent if they’re not excelling in school. Intelligence is a broad term with various types that shouldn’t be limited to one form
only.
In conclusion, environmental factors shape the individual’s intelligence by modifying the expression of genes and stimulating
intelligence. High socioeconomic status environments are able to unveil one’s mental ability. In addition to that, brain training apps
improve the overall cognitive performance based on the user’s strengths and weaknesses. Since there are many forms of intelligence,
people should focus on improving their existing forms of intelligence such as social or musical intelligence. If intelligence was a fixed
attribute you were born with, so why bother seeking an education or improving your skills?
