Before you start to work on Step 6A/6B read the Requirement for Your Survey and How to Write Likert Items below.
Requirements for Your Survey
To write questions for your survey, you must be aware of your two hypotheses, your independent variable and your two dependent variables. Go to your Group Homepage/Files/Research Question and Hypotheses and open document for information on your variables and two hypotheses
Your survey will include three sections with Likert items, described below.
Section 1
Questions to measure your independent (or grouping) variable. The items will be Likert type items See below for details on how to write Likert type items. The purpose of the pilot is to try out questions so you will want to include at least 15 items for the pilot and the best 10 will be selected after the pilot to be included in the final survey.
Section 2
This section will include questions to measure your first dependent variable. The items will be Likert type items See below for details on how to write Likert type items. The purpose of the pilot is to try out questions so you will want to include at least 15 items for the pilot and the best 10 will be selected after the pilot to be included in the final survey.
Section 3
This section will include questions to measure your second dependent variable. The items will be Likert type items See below for details on how to write Likert type items. The purpose of the pilot is to try out questions so you will want to include at least 15 items for the pilot and the best 10 will be selected after the pilot to be included in the final survey.
The survey will also include a section with two demographic questions: age (multiple-choice) and gender (multiple-choice). These items will be provided by the instructor. More on these items later.
How to Write Likert Type Items
Likert items are statements (referred to as the “stem” of the question). After each stem, participants are asked to indicate a response to the statement, for example, how well it describes them or how strongly they agree/disagree with the statement, using a response scale.
It’s highly likely that you have completed a questionnaire with Likert items at some point. Here’s an example of a Likert item:
Indicate how strongly you agree or disagree with each of the items below using a 5-point scale: 1= Strongly Disagree; 2= Somewhat Disagree; 3= Neither Agree nor Disagree; 4= Somewhat Agree; 5= Strongly Agree

Important: We will use a 1 to 5 agreement scale for your research. All items must be in the same direction, that is, strongly agree for all indicates a positive response regarding the concept.
A little more on Likert Items: You may hear the phrase Likert Scale. Likert scale is a composite (or collection) of multiple Likert items measuring the same concept. They represent an overall score for all the Likert items measuring the subject (summed or averaged score). Multiple‐item measurements give more accurate readings, whether rankings or ratings, than could be obtained from any individual item. And using a Likert scale allows us to cover the various facets of what are often complex and multidimensional attitudes or values.
The Likert scale is widely used in social sciences research and is commonly constructed with five to seven points. It is usually treated as an interval scale, but strictly speaking it is an ordinal scale, where arithmetic operations cannot be conducted. We will treat it as interval for the purpose of your project but be aware of the difference between interval and ordinal scales.
Requirements for Step 6A
Submit your typed document to this assignment.
Step 6A is due 9/14, 11:59PM (Thursday Due Date)
Step 6A requires submission of a typed document and must follow this format (see sample below):
Type your name at the top of the page
Sample Likert Items by Section. For each section 1, 2, and 3 described above, create five Likert items that could be used in your survey. Final questions for survey will be selected from among these items.
For all Likert items, assume you will be using this 5-point agreement scale:1= Strongly Disagree; 2= Somewhat Disagree; 3= Neither Agree nor Disagree; 4= Somewhat Agree; 5= Strongly Agree Section 1: Identify your independent variable (underline, as in sample). Then write five Likert items designed to measure your independent variable. Number items 1 – 5 within each section.
Section 2: Identify your first dependent variable (underline, as in sample). Then write five Likert items designed to measure your first dependent variable. Number items 1 – 5 within each section.
Section 3: Identify your second dependent variable (underline, as in sample). Then write five Likert items designed to measure your second dependent variable. Number items 1 – 5 within each section.
