This morning he focused his question and I provided a more detailed answer
As some of you will know there has been controversy in the ActKM list serve on the subject Rosetta Stone Store of surveys. No one has yet attempted any serious defense of questionnaires, although one academic who provided a weak one is now arguing that the debate should cease which I will count as an admission of failure. Graham, while not defending such things directly has been taking me to task for not providing information and arguments that in my view would require me to write a book (which I am doing, all too slowly but not on research methods per se). This morning he focused his question and I provided a more detailed answer (thus denying him the last word at least for the moment) which I share below.You will need one bit of context - I have argued that most surveys are so context free that a random answer is as valid as a considered one. Given that academics need surveys complete to meet nonsensical performance measures I get my children (as an act of charity) to complete them at random, in part fulfillment of the obligations that gain them pocket money.Graham has also created some new HTML which I like, but for which there is no current representation Graham's email follows with my answers belowlt,humourgt, Dave because I haven't said anything for about 13 hours, and I desperately want to have the last say, and you won't or can't name the research methods that reduce bias, I thought I'd make Rosetta Stone Language it a bit easier for you and construct a survey. Knowing your dislike for surveys I will understand if you choose to answer randomly or get a family member to respond. I've catered for this eventuality by providing Question 3. Question 1. From the following list please select the methods, or methods, that reduce cognitive bias. If there is a method that reduces bias that is not listed please include it in your answer. focus groups,content analysis, anthro-simulation environments (Cognitive Edge method), anecdote circles, social network analysis, archetypes-value-themes workshops (Cognitive Edge method), concept mapping, oral history, metaphor simulations (Cognitive Edge method), on-line surveys, structured interviews, model creation by social construction (Cognitive Edge method), Delphi, latent semantic analysis, the future backwards (Cognitive Edge method), randomised control trials, case study.Question 2. Having chosen a method or methods please explain why the method, or methods, reduces bias in all social research circumstances, regardless of Rosetta Stone German the research context or questions? In other words please explain why it is a meta-method that can be universally applied.
