One of the most difficult tasks facing the survey designer involves the ordening of questions. When you think about question placement, consider the following potential issue:
1.The answer may be influenced by prior questions
2.The question may come too early or too late to arouse interest
3.The survey may not receive sufficient attention because of the questions around it.
Explain why a deductive approach is related to positivism and an inductive approach is related to interpretevism. Use examples to explain.
-Positivists prefer a detached stance. This can be achieved by testing hypotheses from former research.
-Interpretivists. The deductive approach is just one way by simplifying the research. Rich insight is therefore lost.
-Interpretivists do not value law like generalizations as much, transferability is different from the positivists’ stance. The link to former research is thus less important, constructing theory which fits this particular research is more important.
