Key Concepts

Survey Research

Survey research is a method of data collection where researchers use questionnaires or interviews to gather self-reported information on opinions, attitudes, behaviors, or characteristics from people. This method is particularly well-suited for assessing large groups, making it ideal for questions regarding public opinion or personal beliefs.

Research Design and Method Selection

Selecting an appropriate research method requires aligning the research question with the method's strengths. Survey research excels at capturing subjective data such as political attitudes or self-identification, which is why questions about whether students lean more towards being politically liberal or conservative are best investigated using surveys.
