There are biascausescheapchoosefeelingsfourillegalpersonalityqualitativequantitativesamplescientificviews main types of questionnaire used in sociology and social research

1.Factual surveys - these gather information about features of peoples lives rather than asking for thoughts, biascausescheapchoosefeelingsfourillegalpersonalityqualitativequantitativesamplescientificviews or opinions.
2. Attitudinal surveys - these ask peoples biascausescheapchoosefeelingsfourillegalpersonalityqualitativequantitativesamplescientificviews on topics and issues
3. Social psychological surveys - these develop out of attitudinal surveys and try to group people into biascausescheapchoosefeelingsfourillegalpersonalityqualitativequantitativesamplescientificviews types
4. Explanatory surveys - designed to test a hypothesis - for instance a questionnaire designed to establish causality (what biascausescheapchoosefeelingsfourillegalpersonalityqualitativequantitativesamplescientificviews a social phenomenon).

Types of Question
Open ended questions are when the respondent is asked their view and a blank space is provided. Such questionnaires generate biascausescheapchoosefeelingsfourillegalpersonalityqualitativequantitativesamplescientificviews data.
Closed questions are when the respondent is given restrictions in how they can answer e.g. a tick box or "yes" and "no". Closed questions generate biascausescheapchoosefeelingsfourillegalpersonalityqualitativequantitativesamplescientificviews data.

Strengths of Questionnaires

1. They can be used to show causality
2. They are relatively biascausescheapchoosefeelingsfourillegalpersonalityqualitativequantitativesamplescientificviews
3. They generate statistics and can therefore be seen to provide "biascausescheapchoosefeelingsfourillegalpersonalityqualitativequantitativesamplescientificviews" evidence
4. They are anonymous and so sensitive or illegal activities can be surveyed
5. They are relatively quick
5. Respondents biascausescheapchoosefeelingsfourillegalpersonalityqualitativequantitativesamplescientificviews whether they participate

Weaknesses of Questionnaires
1. Questions are set by the researcher who might impose biascausescheapchoosefeelingsfourillegalpersonalityqualitativequantitativesamplescientificviews into the research
2. Tick boxes can simply important issues to a level of meaninglessness
3. Questionnaires may not be returned by the entire biascausescheapchoosefeelingsfourillegalpersonalityqualitativequantitativesamplescientificviews
4. People may interpret the questions to mean different things
5. Respondents may lie about sensitive or biascausescheapchoosefeelingsfourillegalpersonalityqualitativequantitativesamplescientificviews activities
