Questionnaire Design

Questionnaire DesignUsing the textbook, required articles and recommended resources, construct a 5-6 item questionnaire on a topic of your choice. Your questionnaire can include either open-ended or closed-ended (fixed format) questions. Submit your completed questionnaire to this discussion forum.Be sure to consider the following when responding:What are the strengths and weaknesses of the questionnaire overall?Consider how the items are worded and the response choices, if applicable, are provided.Are the questions clear and concise?Are there any questions that are vague or unclear?If applicable, are the response choices effective?Is there only one correct response choice?Are there any unintentional cues to the correct answer?Do the items appear to be a good measure of what the student is wanting to assess?How could the questionnaire be improved?Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings by providing evaluations of their questionnaires. Responses to students should be at least 200 words in length. In addition, remember that this is a group discussion forum so be sure to ask questions or provide direction to your classmates as needed. The discussion format was designed to give you an opportunity to learn from your peers and talk about your understanding of different survey research and questionnaires.Point Value: 3 PointsWeekly Learning Outcome Alignment: 2

Personality Traits

**ONLY FOR PSYCHOLOGY WRITERS**Research has explored universal and culture-specific personality traits. “The Five-Factor Model,” also known as the “Big Five,” has identified five universal personality traits—openness, conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism (OCEAN). In contrast, the “Five-Factor Theory” (FFT) of personality “suggests that the universal personality traits representing basic tendencies are expressed in characteristic ways; these characteristic ways can be largely influenced by the culture in which one exists” (Matsumoto & Juang, 2008, p. 268). Culture-specific personality traits, expressed by individuals in a certain culture, have also been identified in research.Consider the cultural influences on personality development. Think about how culture-specific personality traits might impact the role of the scholar-practitioner working with a client or research population from this culture. Select two cultures and two culture-specific personality traits to use for this Discussion.With these thoughts in mind:WRITE a brief description of two universal personality traits. Then describe two culture-specific personality traits for each of the two cultures you selected. Explain how culture influences personality development. Finally, discern two ways these culture-specific personality traits might impact a scholar-practitioner.**STAY ON TOPIC AND ONLY 4 PARAGRAPHS**
