Topic Proposal: Transmitted Culture
For this activity, you will create a 10 item survey on your topic, using a five point Likert scale (1=strongly disagree to 5=strongly agree).
— This must be a new and original survey, completely created by you.
— You must write yourself each and every new question for this survey.
— Do not copy questions, or anything else, from any source.
All questions must be directly about your topic. Any additional questions about opinions, demographics, or anything else, must be asked separately, outside of the 10 survey questions.
Then, write a post with four sections – without numbers, using headings:
(1) survey information (2) the survey (3) justification (4) references
(1) Survey Information: Include at the beginning of the survey:
- brief description of the topic and definitions of terms
- instructions for answering the survey
- active consent
(2) Survey: Write your completed survey with all questions and answers, ready to be answered. (Do NOT include an answer key or any scoring instructions or any potential diagnosis or interpretation of the results for the takers of the survey).
– The survey must be written in the form of statements (not questions, do not use question marks).
– The survey must be written in first person (only use "I"). Do not use other pronouns (you, we, etc).
– Read the files in the "Start Here" module to help you write the survey and format it correctly.
(3) Justification: Write 10 separate paragraphs, one for each of the 10 questions on your survey, to justify the wording used for each question, justify the inclusion of each survey question, and explain how each question fits in with the other questions and within your topic. Explain why each question should be part of the survey and how it gives insight into the topic you have chosen.
(4) References: The sources you used in APA format related to the topic of your project. Use at least three PRIMARY sources to support your work. Do not include the textbook.
NOTE: All references must be about your topic only – not about Likert Scales.
