Final Questions
Hey guys, I posted the questions that we agreed on. If you want to add/edit, feel free (i.e. adding a don't know option)
Cheers!
Hi Elise,
I added a "don't know option" to the questions which I felt were necessary (for accuracy). Of course, if you guys don't agree, please let me know!
Also what do you guys think about changing question 3:
Do you believe there are satisfactory and effective social programs available for those experiencing homelessness and poverty to help them overcome those circumstances?
Answers: 1. Strongly disagree, 2. Disagree, 3. Neutral, 4. Agree, 5. Strongly agree
To:
"There are satisfactory and effective social programs available to those experiencing homelessness in Vancouver" Answers: 1. Strongly disagree 2. Disagree 3. Neutral 4. Agree 5. Strongly agree 6. Don't Know
I think this makes more sense to lead this question on with a statement. Let me know what you guys think!
I think that's great Laura. Also, maybe I'm just nit-picking here, but is it necessary to have both satisfactory and effective in the question? because satisfactory kind of has the connotation that the programs are 'doing what they're doing' where as effective means they are actually working and giving good results.
But maybe I'm just being a nit-picker lol - Let me know, thanks guys
Also, small thing, can we add a blank space next to the option 'other', and if there are some responses that are repetitive, we can add those results into developing our data.
hey guys so that "neutral" response on question number 4(on the responsbility of government for aiding homelessness,etc) was really bugging me, so i just edited it out (i know it wasn't really democratic of me). However if anyone has any contrary opinions and wants it back,just do so.
Hey guys I was just thinking for the first question, one of the potential responses is other. If a respondent answers other will we ask the respondent to specify the factor that he or she thinks attributes to extreme poverty and homelessness in Vancouver? Or are we just going to accept other as an answer?
Also in response to Cam would it be beneficial to replace don't know with neutral for question 4? It seems like a more proper answer than just don't know, but maybe it's just me. I'll edit it but if anyone disagrees let me know thanks guys.
Hi Darren :) I prefer "don't know" over "neutral," I feel like "somewhat responsible" acts a a neutral option in this case.
Grace,
I completely agree, I'll edit the question now and remove the 'satisfactory' part to the question. Let me know if this is okay with you guys
Laura
The questions look great! Just a few of minor tweaks i have in mind...I think we should add a "don't know" option for question one, delete "satisfactory" from question three, and change "neutral" to "don't know" in question four. Other than that, PERFECTION!
