Until order of operations mistakes in the mathematics are solved, it is extremely difficult ethically to conduct a psychological research study. It is not all that different in a court of law, a lawyer is not allowed to put someone on the witness stand who intends to lie.

However that aside, 

to define what constiututes survey research. Not unlike that of the Intelligence Quotion test. A survey (which is in part what an IQ test is, a survey of how well each participant can achieve specific goals in set parameters, in a limited timeframe) find out details regarding hw any given population of people from small to large from a smaller area to varying degrees of huge areas will respond to said questions.

A strength is being able to find out details of, about, and regards to the mean of different cross sections of people, with huge provisos included based on survey parameters. What those parameters are could be any number of different variations.

Which also  produced a huge negative, since the outlier tests have huge issues having their results merged with other tests. Any given variable might or more to the point have trouble being the same variable used in the same way across surveys. The results of one specific survey might not have any weight at all when those results are compared to other similar surveys. Having less than no weight at all when the parameters of both the population studied, sample size, etc x enumerable other parameters are not the same or not even close to similar.

Example of said, (this example itself can be used as a survey. How many studies and or author shave used this exact same example to prove a point in science and statistics. The rough guess would be more than 500 million authors have used the ocean water survey as an example. That in itself is a survey.) a gallon of water taken from 10 locations on the globe will not show direct physical evidence of a whale. Increase to 10 million locations of that same cubic foot of water, will also still not provide evidence of whales. However, Whales still exist, unless that gallon of water happened to be directly behind a whale while the whale was performing a biological function leaving behind direct physical evidence of its existence. Both a macro and micro examples will not show the existence of whales. The second question and second sub survey is, what can be learned from the enumerable number of times this exact (within x given parameters alterations) survey example has been used. Both point ut the same mistakes, which have been ignored since the Vatican began to allow its citizens to know how to read again circa 1500s.

which type of survey question

honestly, ethically, morally, etc. this question is very difficult to answer. Not because the technical aspects of the answer are not easy to define. But how thy are applies break the rules.

 

Define and explain what constitutes survey research.

A survey is about either asking verbally or in writing questions from a preselected group of humans in specific ways to illicit answers which will produce a desired answer.

The desired answer could range from the most innocent of questions example “who are you going to vote for x or y”, up to the most inappropriate hwere the survey is designed to change the minds of the people taking the test.

 

Explain one strength and one weakness of survey research.

One strength is to find specifically targested information. The questions asked will shape the results.

One weakness (among enumerable limitations, not ht eleast of which is ethically, morally, and honor wise is the way survey and research studies are done good.) is the limitations which are created by the pre existing expectations of both the part a and party b. Example

Conducing a survey of say the painting of the Sistine chapel, almost universally the survey will come back as Michaelnago painted it. However if the questions were bias shaped and sequenced as a teaching method, at the end many of the participants would begin to rethink of that well know fact was a fact or was it a political fiction to hide sequences of facts from 1490-1512. Statistically speaking the Sistine Chapel could not have been done by anyone other than Leondardo Da Vinci. That is a huge weakness since operational bias has no choice but to color and alter the results of any and tests.

Explain which types of research questions can best be addressed using survey research.

General public questions, survey research is best either species wide or targeted to specific groups to find specific information.

Describe one specific research question you would be interested in studying

Creating a in field survey regarding how much does the field actually know about the facts and evidence of the founding of Modern Psychology. This could be an interesting (there is less than no doubt of part a bias, on several levels) study, to find out industry wide who knows what. How much did hteir education cover the founding. How much do you care about the founding. Have they ever heard of Wilhelm wundt. Do they think the Prussians who owned him for his 20 year indentured servant contract were interested at all in telling the truth. How much do they know about the Prussian Empire; this could be broken down into several to dozens of questions. Each of which are additional evidence to assemble the variables for an extended study and to teach what they do not know based on the questions. Hence the no possible way either side is not bias.

Explain how you could use survey research to answer this question.

 

Of the more than several ways to conduct survey research, this could encompass at least two. A general survey

questionnaire and the interview being the broadest category types of research surveys. However what I would use is a semi combination even if the questionnaire is non interactive. The author can still make the questions interactive by placing information inside earlier questions which can be used to answer questions asked later on. Turning the research survey into an into to a teaching moment, and or an entire class/degree work based on how much is still not known about the field even by experts.

Which also runs into the eproblem of operational bias which can produce tainted results when the part b has an emotional reaction to having it pointed out in the survey hwo much they do not know about the foundation of psychology. 

Peronally over the course of the last 2 months, private research has revealed an aspect of human nature in 3 acts. Part 1a some type of violence (which actually does include teachers grading harshly for arbitrary reasons. Had more than my share of them.) from simply not thinking nicely about someone up to and including the worst crimes imaginable. Part 1b some type of intimacy from the pleasure of thinking not nicely about someone up to and including both the most innocent and platonic intimacy to the other side of newtons third rule (being an adult in academics no reason to go into any more detail than said description. Those who know what said means great, those that do not will not be offended by what they cannot think of or imagine.). Part 2 some type of community involvement, which usually involves as example saying, “I do not like that noun”, with other people around either agreeing or disagreeing. Those that agree (an emotional response 1b) with the not liking the noun, they form some type of group or community. The measurements which follow are part of human nature.

A question might be asked by the huge portion of the field of psychology entirely dedicated to addictions, “why should I care about the history of Psychology”. Apply the 3 acts to both the foundation information, the 1a some type of violence. The first decades of modern psychology have been all but entirely obliterated from documentation records, 1a. The violence to silence the first decades from 1840-85 of the field are clearly 1a. The pleasure the Prussians and other armies possessed in silencing anything which might question their power 1a and their authority 1b. To rule part 2 without question.
