Using the resources from this module, list several general principles that
you believe are important for sound questionnaire design. Then choose
one of the questionnaires listed below and discuss the ways the
questionnaire fits or violates your principles. It is fully understood that
several of your principles may not easily be applied to these
questionnaires because you do not know the exact background of how
the scales were developed. Instead, focus on the principles you
developed regarding item wording, response options, question order,
and so on.
