Questionnaire Construction Manual

Abstract

This manual updates the 10-year-old Questionnaire Construction Manual. The revision was prepared primarily by the Essex Corporation under contract to the Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI). It has the same purpose as the earlier version--to provide guidance for those who construct and/or administer questionnaires as part of Army operational test and evaluations such as those conducted by the TRADOC Combined arms Test Activity and the Operational Test and Evaluation Agency. Much of the content is applicable to more than operational test situations; the manual should prove usefull to all persons involved in the construction and administration of surveys, interviews, or questionnaires. Keywords: Questionnaire construction; Questionnaire administration; Attitude scales; Scaling techniques; Response anchoring; Response alternatives; Pretesting questionnaires; Surveys interviews; Administration and management; Personnel management.
