Part 3. Questions 76 – 85 (2.0 points - 0.2/ each)
Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question
A survey is a study, generally in the form of an interview or a questionnaire, that
provides information concerning how people think and act. In the United States, the best-known
surveys are the Gallup poll and the Harris poll. As anyone who watches the news during
presidential campaigns knows, these polls have become an important part of political life in the
United States.
North Americans are familiar with the many "person on the street" interviews on local
television news shows. While such interviews can be highly entertaining, they are not
necessarily an accurate indication of public opinion. First, they reflect the opinions of only those
people who appear at a certain location. Thus, such samples can be biased in favor of
commuters, middle-class shoppers, or factory workers, depending or which area the newspeople
select. Second, television interviews tend to attract outgoing people who are willing to appear
on the air, while they frighten away others who may feel intimidated by a camera. A survey
Page 4
must be based on a precise, representative sampling if it is to genuinely reflect a broad range of
the population.
In preparing to conduct a survey, sociologists must exercise great care in the wording of
questions. An effective survey question must be simple and clear enough for people to
understand it. It must also be specific enough so that there are no problems in interpreting the
results. Even questions that are less structured must be carefully phrased in order to elicit the
type of information desired. Surveys can be indispensable sources of information, but only if the
sampling is done properly and the questions are worded accurately.
There are two main forms of surveys: the interview and the questionnaire. Each of these
forms of survey research has its advantages. An interviewer can obtain a high response rate
because people find it more difficult to turn down a personal request for an interview than to
throw away a written questionnaire. In addition, an interviewer can go beyond written questions
and probe for a subject's underlying feelings and reasons. However, questionnaires have the
advantage of being cheaper and more consistent.
