Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the importance of choosing the right instrument for quantitative research, specifically questionnaires. They highlight three approaches: adapting a questionnaire from previous research, modifying one, or creating a new one. The speaker advises using published journal articles as the best source for adapting questionnaires due to their established validity. They stress the importance of ensuring the source is reputable and suggest contacting authors for full questionnaires when necessary. The video provides practical tips on adapting instruments, including proper citation practices and reference management.

Takeaways

• 😀 It's important to understand whether to take a questionnaire from previous research or create one yourself for a thesis or dissertation.
• 😀 Validating a questionnaire is essential before using it in your research, and this can be done through statistical methods.
• 😀 There are three ways to handle questionnaires: use one from previous research, adapt it, or create a new one from scratch.
• 😀 Adapting a questionnaire from previous research can be a form of validation since the original has already gone through a validation process.
• 😀 It's better to adapt questionnaires from published journal articles, not from theses or dissertations, since theses are not yet published.
• 😀 If a questionnaire is not available in a journal article, you can contact the author directly to request it.
• 😀 Ensure that the journal you're sourcing from is reputable, preferably indexed in Sinta or Scopus, to ensure quality and validity.
• 😀 Published articles from reputable journals are generally considered more reliable for adapting questionnaires.
• 😀 If you plan to create your own questionnaire, be aware that it may be questioned in terms of validity, especially if you're a first-time researcher.
• 😀 For undergraduate and even master's students, it's recommended to adapt questionnaires from previous studies rather than creating one from scratch to ensure validity and reduce scrutiny.

Q & A

What is the main focus of the video?

The video discusses the process of selecting or creating questionnaires for research, particularly in quantitative studies. It focuses on whether it is better to use a questionnaire from previous studies or create a new one from scratch.

Is it better to adapt a questionnaire from previous research or create a new one?

It is generally better to adapt a questionnaire from previous research because it has already been validated. However, if you decide to create your own, it must go through a process of validation both from experts and statistically.

What are the three options for creating a questionnaire?

The three options for creating a questionnaire are: 1) adapting it from previous research, 2) adapting and modifying it based on your research needs, and 3) creating a completely new questionnaire.

Why is adapting a questionnaire from previous research considered valid?

Adapting a questionnaire from previous research is considered valid because the original questionnaire has already gone through a process of validation. This makes it a reliable starting point for further adaptation.

What type of research should you avoid when sourcing a questionnaire?

It is advised to avoid using questionnaires from unpublished research, such as theses or dissertations, because they have not undergone peer review or the same validation process as published articles.

How do you ensure the quality of the source when adapting a questionnaire?

To ensure quality, the article from which you are adapting the questionnaire should be published in a reputable journal, ideally indexed by systems like Sinta (for national journals) or Scopus (for international journals).

What should you do if a journal article doesn’t provide the full questionnaire?

If the full questionnaire is not provided, you can contact the author directly through the email provided in the article. Many authors are willing to share their instruments upon request.

What is the importance of using reputable journals for questionnaire adaptation?

Using reputable journals ensures that the research has undergone a peer review process, which validates the reliability and accuracy of the questionnaire. It also increases the credibility of your own research.

What should be done if you create your own questionnaire?

If you create your own questionnaire, it is important to validate it both through expert review and statistical tests. However, creating your own instrument may raise concerns about its validity, especially for less experienced researchers.

How should you reference an adapted questionnaire from previous research?

When adapting a questionnaire from previous research, you must properly cite the original author. It’s best to use a reference manager like Mendeley to ensure correct and consistent citations throughout your work.
