- Summary:
- How can we, in social sciences, avoid collecting useless data that lead to interventions built on sand? This case study answers this question, using the case of an experimental study which replicates prominent context effects. The experiment testing effects of response alternatives, reference period, and item order on students' self-reports on stress was conducted in the course of a research methods course. The students were guided through the experimental research and provided with a vivid experience of how questions impact the answers in self-reports. Based on the results, recommendations for the use of questionnaires in student research are derived and discussed.
