There is an opinion among people that the only method of practical psychology is a sociological survey. But this opinion is incorrect, since among the methods of psychology there are a huge number of those that are absolutely not related to polls. Plus, the survey cannot be only a sociological method, since it is widely used in journalism, political science, jurisprudence, etc. How is a sociological survey conducted?
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, before proceeding with it, you need to clearly define the procedure and objectives of the study. That is, the survey procedure is always preceded by the development of a research program, an understanding of the tasks and goals, hypotheses and categories of analysis.
Questions should be clearly and clearly formulated, in compliance with language norms. The wording of these questions must necessarily correspond to the cultural level of the respondent. Also, the total number of questions should be within the framework of common sense, so as not to tire the respondent. The possibility of discretion in matters of an insulting subtext for the respondent is categorically excluded.
Based on this, we need a plan for conducting a sociological survey, as well as a questionnaire. It is very important to take into account the social and demographic characteristics of the respondents, otherwise the survey loses all meaning. Therefore, the questionnaire should have a part, called the passport, where data about the respondent is entered.
Step 2
Further, you should explain to all the respondents why you are holding this event, reveal to them its purpose.
After all the preliminary procedures have been completed, we proceed directly to the survey. As it proceeds, the answers of the respondents are noted in a special questionnaire for further work with the information received.
Step 3
When the survey is completed, you need to process the results of the survey:
1. We count the number of answers to each of the questions asked.
2. We enter the results obtained in the table.
3. We analyze the results and draw conclusions based on them.
In the table, you need to put the number of their choices in front of the proposed answers to your questions.
