Subject:Re: Designing a survey From:Anne Halsey <Wrdfinesse -at- AOL -dot- COM> Date:Wed, 7 Oct 1998 21:42:30 EDT
Theodora Mazza asks about designing surveys.
I can recommend a pretty good book from my grad program
in Tech Comm: try _Survey Questions: Handcrafting the
Standardized Questionnaire_ by Jean M. Converse
and Stanley Presser. This is from the series "Quantitative
Applications in the Social Sciences" through Sage Publications.
