Perhaps, my only issue would be - providing a 5-point Likert scale in a normal population is likely to yield results closer to the middle point?. I would still always go with Likert (or an odd as opposed to even number of options myself]. As this is not a normal population [I mean our forum] I found the survey quick and easy. If Andy is going to use it outwith this forum you have given him some sound advice that he should donate some money to charity as payment for. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4062#post-42251 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 09:49:36 +0000 Morningsider 42251@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hi Andy</p> <p>I have quite a bit of experience of survey design and you might find the following tips useful:</p> <p>First pages - Include descriptive text explaining who you are, the purpose of the survey and what you intend to do with the results. Most importantly - give some assurances around confidentiality of responses.</p> <p>Q1 - biographic detail usually goes at the end of s survey, put this up first and it puts people off from completing the survey, put it last and most people will fill it in.</p> <p>Q2 - Might want to ask what floor flat people live in and include "terrace", "maisonette" etc.</p> <p>Q3 - Would include "communal stair", "communal green/garden"</p> <p>Q4 - Outline what you mean by bicycle storage - it could range from a hook to some fancy shed.</p> <p>Q7 - I normally use five options, allows people to express a middle, neutral view</p> <p>Q9 - I would re-word this to something like "If you ever experienced problems with bike storage can you explain what these were and how you overcame therm?" This will let you understand what problems cyclists have, how they solved their problem and whether you could sell a commercial version of this solution. In my experience we are a fairly inventive bunch.</p> <p>I'm sure others could provide better assistance than me.</p> <p>Hope this helps - good luck. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4062#post-42246 Sat, 01 Oct 2011 21:01:06 +0000 miggy_magic 42246@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>If you select 'Other (please specify)' in Q3 then you can't proceed with the survey... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4062#post-42244 Sat, 01 Oct 2011 20:38:08 +0000 custard 42244@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>done </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4062#post-42243 Sat, 01 Oct 2011 18:08:12 +0000 Arellcat 42243@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'd be happy to fill out a survey on storage, but would be interested to know the relevance of the first question and what bearing one might expect it to have on the rest of the questions. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4062#post-42242 Sat, 01 Oct 2011 17:02:34 +0000 andygwalker 42242@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I am currently developing cycle storage and am in the process of gathering information with regards to cyclists views/attitudes on the subject - this will then be used to form the basis of a future design. I would be extremely grateful if you would complete this short survey <a href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/2VFW5DK" rel="nofollow">http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/2VFW5DK</a></p> <p>Many thanks! </p>
