A very short survey on online shopping ( just a couple of minutes )

[Lemon, John S.]

I would be extremely grateful if you could spend just a couple of minutes to fill in a very short, anonymous, survey on online shopping. It can be found at:

 

www.abdn.ac.uk/~com045/entship/

 

I am trying to create a data set that I can use for teaching and demonstration purposes and also to illustrate how a quick survey may not always work; we didn’t pilot it. My reason for doing this is rather than make up some data I am hoping that you will help me create something realistic. I would also be very grateful if you could ask your friends and family to fill it in; this isn’t a chain letter that will bring you bad luck if you break it, or a vast fortune if you pass the message on to 120 friends, just a request for some help.

 

If you fill it in – thank you very, if you don’t I fully understand. If you want a copy of the data set as an SPSS file then please drop me an E-mail and I’ll send it to you in a week or so.

 

Best Wishes

Hi John.  I'd not heard of Snap before.  Any comments on how it compares with other tools such as SurveyMonkey?  What options are there for exporting data?  How much does it cost?  

Thanks,
Bruce

I use esurveyspro and have never had any problems. The technical staff has always promptly answered any questions. Prices vary from $100 to $800 depending on the package that is purchased.

Thanks Jonas.  Seems a bit pricey to me, but that may be because we're not doing surveys regularly.  I found another page that says it does export data to SPSS (among other things).

I had a look at your survey (and completed it).  This must be the shortest questionnaire ever!

 

If you’re looking for a data set for teaching, I have one on my website.  It’s a cumulative set from several waves of students who took my SPSS-based Survey Analysis Workshop (postgrad, hands-on, part-time, evening) at PNL (now part of Londonmet).  As students enrolled they completed a short questionnaire (a bit longer than yours: 2 sides of A4) replicating a few questions from the British Social Attitudes survey and adding personal data (sex, age): in later classes they had to code a few questionnaires, copy the codes to a transfer sheet and then type the data into an ASCII file prior to reading the raw data into SPSS.  Students with no prior experience of numeracy or computing found this very helpful.

 

This was in the days of Vax mainframes and remote VDUs, but I’ve been converting and updating all the course materials for use with SPSS for Windows on a PC.  The site has facsimiles of the questionnaire, transfer sheet, cumulative data set, all SPSS syntax files and the final SPSS saved file, together with explanations of the nature of survey data.  The tutorials use syntax rather than the GUI and proceed gently step-by-step with full-colour screenshots at each step.  There’s nothing to stop users (and up to 9 friends/colleagues) from completing the questionnaire, coding the responses to the transfer sheet, copying the data set and adding their own responses.

 

Have a look at:

. . . and let me know what you think. 

 

Everything on the site is available for free download.
