Tipos de preguntas para encuestas I Parte #1

Summary

In this video, Luis Enrique Tenemaya explains the two main types of survey questions: open-ended and closed-ended. Open-ended questions, ideal for qualitative research, allow respondents to provide detailed answers without predefined options. In contrast, closed-ended questions, commonly used in quantitative research, offer fixed response categories, such as yes/no, multiple choice, or scaled ratings. The video also highlights the advantages and disadvantages of each question type, noting that open-ended questions yield more detailed insights but are harder to analyze, while closed-ended questions are easier to process but may limit responses.

Takeaways

• 😀 Open-ended questions are commonly used in qualitative research to gather in-depth, detailed responses without predefined answer categories.
• 😀 Example of open-ended questions include asking opinions on topics such as career choices or service quality in restaurants.
• 😀 Open-ended questions should be worded carefully to encourage detailed responses rather than yes/no answers.
• 😀 Closed-ended questions are often used in quantitative research as they provide predefined categories for respondents to choose from.
• 😀 Types of closed-ended questions include: dichotomous (two options), multiple-choice, and scale-based questions.
• 😀 Dichotomous questions offer two options, like yes/no or true/false responses.
• 😀 Multiple-choice questions provide several options for respondents to select one or more answers, with the option for 'other' responses.
• 😀 Scale-based questions ask respondents to rate or rank options, such as rating the quality of a product or service from 1 (bad) to 5 (excellent).
• 😀 One advantage of open-ended questions is that they allow respondents to express detailed opinions, but they are harder to analyze.
• 😀 Closed-ended questions are easier to analyze and require less effort from respondents, but they can limit the range of responses.
• 😀 The choice of question type in surveys depends on the research goals and the type of data needed, with some surveys using only one type and others combining both open and closed-ended questions.
