Newswise — WASHINGTON D.C.—May 2019— HFES’s latest book, Questionnaire Design: How to Ask the Right Questions of the Right People at the Right Time to Get the Information You Need, is now available for purchase. Written by William F. Moroney and Joyce A. Cameron, the book explores how a well-designed questionnaire conceals the complexity of the task and facilitates completion.
This manual provides a systematic approach to questionnaire design for practitioners and researchers with little to no education or formal training in questionnaire design and development. It provides practical instructions regarding what to do and how to do it, and supports these instructions with real-world examples and findings from scientific studies of various aspects of questionnaire design. An augmenting website contains additional guidance, examples, a case study, and tools for success.
This is the third book in the Users’ Guides to Human Factors and Ergonomics Methods series. It is designed for the multidisciplinary group of do-it-yourself researchers, practitioners, and students who need to develop a quality questionnaire.
Questionnaire Design is available in paperback or e-book on Amazon.
