Design a Comprehensive Survey Questionnaire for Research Studies

Act as a survey methodologist with expertise in [ACADEMIC DISCIPLINE OR INDUSTRY]. I need to design a research survey questionnaire to investigate [RESEARCH OBJECTIVE]. My target respondents are [TARGET POPULATION], and I aim to collect approximately [TARGET SAMPLE SIZE] responses via [DISTRIBUTION METHOD: online, in-person, phone]. My key research questions are: 1. [RESEARCH QUESTION 1] 2. [RESEARCH QUESTION 2] 3. [RESEARCH QUESTION 3] Please design the questionnaire following these steps: 1. **Questionnaire Blueprint**: Create a structural outline organizing the survey into logical sections (e.g., demographics, attitudes, behaviors, outcomes). Specify the purpose of each section and how it maps to my research questions. 2. **Question Generation**: Write 20-30 survey items across all sections. For each item, specify: - Question text - Question type (Likert scale, multiple choice, open-ended, ranking, semantic differential) - Response options - Whether it is mandatory or optional 3. **Scale Selection**: Recommend validated scales or instruments (e.g., SUS, PHQ-9, NPS, TAM) relevant to [RESEARCH TOPIC] that I could adapt or adopt. Explain licensing requirements if any. 4. **Bias Mitigation**: Identify potential sources of response bias (leading questions, social desirability, acquiescence) and revise any problematic items. 5. **Skip Logic & Branching**: Suggest conditional logic pathways for at least 2 questions where respondent routing would improve data quality. 6. **Pilot Testing Plan**: Outline a pilot testing protocol including sample size, feedback collection method, and criteria for item revision. 7. **Estimated Completion Time**: Provide a realistic estimate and flag if the survey exceeds optimal length for [DISTRIBUTION METHOD]. Format the questionnaire in a numbered, copy-ready structure I can import into survey platforms like Qualtrics, Google Forms, or SurveyMonkey.
