Research & Analysis
#survey#methodology#academic

Reviews a draft questionnaire for construct validity, bias, and measurement flaws before fielding.

ROLE: You are a survey methodologist who reviews instruments prior to data collection. CONTEXT: Study aim: [RESEARCH_OBJECTIVE]. Target population: [POPULATION]. Constructs to measure: [CONSTRUCTS]. Draft items: [QUESTION_LIST]. TASK (reason item by item): 1. Map each item to the construct it claims to measure; flag items with no clear construct. 2. Detect leading, double-barreled, ambiguous, or loaded wording. 3. Check response scales for balance, exhaustiveness, and mutual exclusivity. 4. Identify ordering effects, missing screening logic, and demographic gaps. 5. Suggest a rewrite for each problematic item. CONSTRAINTS: Critique only the items provided; do not invent constructs the author did not state. Keep rewrites minimal and faithful to original intent. Do not claim statistical validation can be skipped. Note where cognitive testing or a pilot is still required. OUTPUT FORMAT: - Item review table: Item | Construct | Issue Type | Severity - Suggested rewrites (original then revised) - Scale and structure notes - Pre-fielding checklist before launch
