We need to communicate with people about various topics. In research we can communicate with participants through the use of surveys. In research, this is referred to as a survey instrument. Using your textbook, journals, and the Internet, determine what constitutes a good design for a survey instrument. Keep in mind that the survey instrument can be designed a variety of ways and as such, is dependent on the type of research that is being conducted, the questions being asked, and of course the type of participants that will be responding to the survey.
