sebutkan hal-hal yang harus diperhatikan dalam menyusun daftar pertanyaan wawancara

This document introduces common mistakes we see on Google Surveys. Having good survey design for your research helps to enhance data quality and a better user experience.

Spelling and grammar issues (all)

Most mistakes involve spelling and grammar, which can be crucial for your data quality.

Example:
Using u instead of you or Cofee instead of Coffee could be misunderstood by respondents and could affect the quality of your responses.

Best Practice:
Use a spelling/grammar checker and preview your content before submission.

Using a suitable language (all)

Questions and answers need to be written in a language widely accepted and understood in the target country.

Example:
The question and answer choices are written in Japanese while its targeting option is set to the U.S.

Best Practice:
Rewrite the question/answer choices in English, keeping the targeting option set to the U.S.

OR

Change the targeting option to Japan, keeping the question/answer choices in Japanese.

Unnecessary capitalization (all)

Question/answer text may not contain unnecessary capitalization of words or phrases.

Example:
Unnecessary emphasis on individual words or phrases.

Best Practice:
Making a word or phrase bold by putting asterisks around it (*Apple*), or italic by using underscores (_Apple_), also has the same highlight effect.

Asking for demographic information (all)

If you plan to ask respondents to specify their age range, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, or immigration status, make sure the question meets the following requirements:

• The answer choices are in groups or ranges.
• There is an I prefer not to say answer choice.
• For questions asking for age, the answer choices shouldnt directly or indirectly contain any age under 18.

Example:
The answer choice Under 18 is not allowed, and it does not include I prefer not to say option.

Best Practice:
Remove Under 18 and add an I prefer not to say.

Inappropriate question format (all)

If you want respondents to select only one choice, the Multiple-answers question format isnt appropriate because it allows them to choose more than one answer.

Example:
The respondents can choose more than one answer.

Best Practice:
Use the Single-answer format or Rating Scale question type instead.

Missing an opt-out answer choice (Single-answer)

An opt-out answer choice such as None of the above or Others can help keep the response quality high when the answer choices dont apply to everybody.

Example:
Those who dont drink alcohol at all wont be able to answer the question.

Best Practice:
Add an answer option None of the above or Other.

Conflicting answer choices (Multiple-answer)

More than one answer and there is an automatic None of the above option to the list. Make sure there are no conflicting answer choices in the list.

Example:
If a respondent picks Germany and I have never been abroad before, then it wont make sense and result in poor data quality.

Best Practice:
Remove the option, I have never been abroad before.

Rating scales not clear (Rating)

The Rating Scale format lets people choose from a range of options. The clarity of the range is crucial in order for respondents to provide accurate responses.

Example:
The question asks how important, but the scale ranges are from no to yes.

Best Practice:
Edit the ranges from "Not important to Very important".

Character limit (all)

Example:
Some text appears to be incomplete. The creator tool allows a maximum number of characters to be entered (e.g., 44 characters in English per answer text and 175 characters in the question).

Best Practice:
Watch out for indicators that the character limit has been reached, such as the red line and the character count below the text. Look at the right hand pane of the creator tool to check for cut-off or incomplete texts.

Numeric value answers in open-ended format (Open-ended)

[fix]

Example:
The question asks for answers in numeric values, e.g. 0, 1 or 2 (times), but open-ended format (including open-ended other field) is only suitable for text answers

Best Practice:
Change the question type to single answer format and include answer options with numeric values for respondents to choose from.

Each survey question can only ask one question (Open-ended)

[fix]

Example:
There are 2 questions in the example above. For open-ended question format, only a single question is allowed.

Best Practice:
Consider splitting into two separate questions, or possibly reword.

Binary (Screening Q)

The first screening question should have more than 3 answer choices because incidence accuracy is better when binary questions are not used.

[fix]

Example:
The question above has 2 answer choices, Yes or No.

Best Practice:
Having three answers or more helps eliminate confusion for the respondents, provides a better user experience, and improves the quality of survey results. Please add a possible third response such as "Maybe" or "Not sure".

Inappropriate Image (Image Q)

Images should be clear, legible and compliant with all other content policies. Images larger than 300x250 pixels will be shrunk to that size, and must be in GIF, JPEG, or PNG formats. Animated GIFs are not allowed.

[fix]

Inappropriate Video (Video Q)

There can only be one video in a survey, and it must be shorter than 2 minutes, match the survey language in either its audio or subtitle, set to public or unlisted and be strictly compliant with all other content policies. Also, surveys with video questions can only have one screening question.

[fix]

Pinning the right answer

Answer choices "None of the Above", "All of the Above" or XX of the above must be pinned (by using the pinning feature) to always show at the bottom of the answer list.

[fix]
