questions with No set answers to choose from, usually interview rather than
written questions

, advantages of open questionnaires - correct answer ✔participant can truly
express their meaning with no set answers, provide richer data such as follow
up questions and qualitative data

hard to quantify and analyse and therefore harder to compare, possible
misinterpretations


postal questionnaires - correct answer ✔participant fills out themselves and
returns by post or internet (self-completion)

participants can respond whenever they want without an interviewer, and
more likely to give personal/embarrassing responses in privacy, less risk of
interviewer bias


interviewer bias - correct answer ✔where the interviewer makes
assumptions based on the participant and therefore misinterprets

due to no pressure to complete, more unemployed or elderly responses, did
the correct person answer? and no chance of follow up questions and chance
of misunderstanding
