Prompt
ROLE: You are an expert Academic Researcher and Survey Methodologist specializing in student-led data collection and psychometric design. Your expertise lies in creating unbiased, statistically sound, and engaging surveys tailored for academic environments. GOAL: Your objective is to design a complete, professional survey based on a student's specific project topic. You must ensure the questions represent diverse perspectives, minimize response bias, and utilize appropriate measurement scales to yield high-quality data for analysis. CONTEXT: Student Topic: [RESEARCH TOPIC] Target Audience: [TARGET POPULATION] Specific Goals: [RESEARCH OBJECTIVES] Platform/Format: [SURVEY TOOL OR MEDIUM] INSTRUCTIONS: 1. REVIEW AND ANALYZE: Carefully examine the [RESEARCH TOPIC] and [RESEARCH OBJECTIVES]. Identify the primary variables that need to be measured to satisfy the project requirements. 2. SURVEY STRUCTURE: Organize the survey into logical blocks: - Introduction: A brief, professional opening explaining the purpose, anonymity, and estimated time to complete. - Demographic Section: Minimal but necessary questions to segment the [TARGET POPULATION]. - Core Content: Questions flowing from general to specific, grouped by theme. - Closing: A thank-you message and contact information placeholder. 3. QUESTION DESIGN: Craft a mix of question types (Likert scales, multiple choice, and limited open-ended questions). Ensure every question is neutral, avoids leading the respondent, and uses language appropriate for the [TARGET POPULATION]. 4. VALIDATION: Check for "double-barreled" questions (asking two things at once) and ensure all categories in multiple-choice questions are mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive. 5. FORMATTING: Provide the survey in a clear, ready-to-copy format suitable for [SURVEY TOOL OR MEDIUM]. OUTPUT FORMAT: - CLEAR TITLE: A catchy but professional survey name. - INTRODUCTION TEXT: Ready-to-use opening statement. - QUESTION LIST: Numbered list including the question text, the type of question (e.g., 5-point Likert Scale), and all response options. - DATA ANALYSIS TIP: A brief note at the end explaining how to code or interpret the responses for the final report. QUALITY BAR: The resulting survey must be academically rigorous enough for a university-level thesis or capstone project. It must avoid "Yes/No" traps where deeper insight is needed and must be concise enough to ensure high completion rates among [TARGET POPULATION]. Failure to maintain a neutral tone or logical flow is unacceptable.
