you ever encountered a question that confused you, not because you didn&#8217;t understand it, but because it was confusingly worded? It could be one of those cleverly disguised questions that combine two distinct inquiries &#8211; also known as a double barreled question.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, imagine your employees or customers facing this scenario when you\u2019re surveying them about their experience with your company.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You don&#8217;t want that, right?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the contrary, you want to conduct research that clarifies, enabling you to gain valuable insights that help you improve your services or products.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hence, it\u2019s vital to understand the impact of a double barreled question. In this comprehensive guide, we&#8217;ll discuss what double barreled question is, its examples, and how to avoid it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, let&#8217;s get started!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_a_Double_Barreled_Question\"><\/span><b>What Is a Double Barreled Question?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A double barreled question, also known as a composite or double direct question, combines two separate topics but requires only one answer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can arise accidentally during the market or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/market-customer-research\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">customer research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> process in an attempt to shorten the questionnaire by combining two questions into one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A double barreled question can create confusion and ambiguity in respondents&#8217; answers. This is because they need to deal with two issues with one answer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This can lead to inaccurate or misunderstood data, making it difficult to draw reliable and meaningful results from the study.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The use of &#8220;and&#8221; is usually a vital indicator of a double-barrel question. However, it is not an absolute rule. To better understand the concept, let&#8217;s examine some examples.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Examples_of_a_Double-Barreled_Question\"><\/span><b>Examples of a Double-Barreled Question<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><b>1.

The second question addresses both store cleanliness and staff friendliness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Respondents may have different opinions or experiences about these aspects, making it difficult to provide a precise and accurate response.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Correct Questions:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Do you like our products?&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Do you like our customer service?&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cPlease rate our store&#8217;s cleanliness.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cPlease rate our staff&#8217;s friendliness.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>2.

A double barreled question can complicate the survey results.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Respondents may disagree or have different opinions about each aspect of the question. Let&#8217;s understand this with some examples.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here is a question: &#8220;Do you feel valued by your superiors and the entire company?&#8221; <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This question combines two separate aspects:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feeling valued by the manager<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feeling valued by the company as a whole<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employees may feel valued by their immediate manager but not necessarily by the company. This is due to factors like company policies, communication from higher-ups, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similarly, they might feel valued by the company but need a positive relationship with their manager. The same issue applies to the second question: &#8220;Are you satisfied with your salary and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goco.io\/blog\/work-life-balance\/\">work-life balance<\/a> in the organization?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This question covers two different aspects:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Satisfaction with salary<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Satisfaction with work-life balance<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employees could be satisfied with their salary but have issues with their work-life balance, or vice versa. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To gather more accurate and useful data, it&#8217;s better to split these double barreled questions into separate questions. Here&#8217;s how you can do it:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Do you feel valued by your manager?&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Do you feel valued by the company as a whole?&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Are you satisfied with your salary?&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Are you satisfied with your work-life balance?&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By asking these questions individually, employees can provide more specific feedback on each aspect, allowing you to address their concerns more effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Product\/Service Usage<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding how customers use a product or service can help businesses improve their offerings and <\/span><a class=\"mozbar-highlight-no-followed-wGA7MhRhQ3WS\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/service\/what-is-customer-experience\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">customer experience<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But if you cannot accurately measure product or service usage? You cannot make the essential changes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A double barreled question can give you a false sense of clarity and understanding. Let\u2019s understand this with examples.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;How frequently do you use our website and app to buy products?&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Do you believe our products are safe and simple to use?&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here, both the questions address different aspects of the product\/service. The first part asks about the frequency of usage for both the mobile app and the website.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second part asks about the respondent&#8217;s perception of the product&#8217;s reliability and ease of use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The problem with this double-barreled question is that respondents might use the app more often than the website or vice versa. Additionally, some users might find the product reliable but not easy to use or easy to use but unreliable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These nuances can lead to ambiguous responses, making it challenging for the surveyor to understand the issues or improvements needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Correct Questions<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;How frequently do you use our mobile app to buy products?&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;How frequently do you use our website for buying products?&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Do you find our product reliable?&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Do you find our product easy to use?&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Respondents can provide clearer feedback on each aspect by breaking the original question into separate, more specific questions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Training Evaluation<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In every organization, there is a need to evaluate the effectiveness of<\/span><a class=\"mozbar-highlight-no-followed-wGA7MhRhQ3WS\" href=\"https:\/\/www.marketing91.com\/training-program\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> training programs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Whether you are using the traditional classroom teaching style or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zavvy.io\/blog\/ai-based-lms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">modern technology-aided training<\/a>, you need to assess if your participants are engaged and learning. But a double barreled question can become a hurdle in this process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For your better understanding, look at this question.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;How well did you like the training material, and was the instructor knowledgeable?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here, the first part asks about the effectiveness of the training material in covering the course content.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Users can provide insights into whether the material was comprehensive and relevant to their learning needs. The second part of the question focuses on the instructor&#8217;s knowledge.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Participants can express their opinions on the instructor&#8217;s expertise, teaching style, and ability to address questions or concerns during the training sessions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here is another example.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Was the training facility comfortable, and were the breaks provided at appropriate intervals?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here, the first part asks about the comfort of the training facility itself, and t<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">he second part addresses the breaks provided during the training sessions. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is essential to separate these questions because respondents may have different experiences and opinions about each aspect.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By asking them separately, respondents can provide specific feedback on the training material and the instructor, as well as the training facility and break intervals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Correct Questions:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;How well did you like the training material?\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;How well was the instructor knowledgeable?&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Was the training facility comfortable?\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWere the breaks provided at appropriate intervals?&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This enables training organizers to understand what worked well and what areas may need improvement, leading to a more effective and successful training program in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>6. Marketing and Advertising<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every brand needs to do <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/create-market-research-survey\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">market research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to identify its target audience and understand what motivates them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A double barreled question can lead to unclear answers from consumers. And we all know clarity is key when it comes to advertising.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s have a look at these sets of questions from the marketing and advertising industry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Did you find our TV ad entertaining and convincing?&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Please rate the clarity of our print ad and the attractiveness of the graphics.&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Question 1:\u00a0 &#8220;Did you find our TV ad entertaining and convincing?&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This question combines two aspects of the TV commercial &#8211; entertainment and persuasion. Respondents might need help to provide distinct feedback, as entertainment doesn&#8217;t necessarily imply influence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To improve clarity, it&#8217;s better to ask two questions:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Did you find our TV commercial entertaining?&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Did you find it persuasive?&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Question 2: &#8220;Please rate the clarity of our print ad and the attractiveness of the graphics.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This question addresses the print ad&#8217;s clarity and graphics&#8217; attractiveness simultaneously. However, respondents&#8217; opinions on each element may differ. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To avoid confusion and gather more precise feedback, it&#8217;s advisable to ask two individual questions:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Please rate the clarity of our print ad.&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Please rate the attractiveness of the graphics in our print ad.&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>7. Political Survey<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Politics is a complex topic, and surveys about political issues can be difficult to design. A double barreled question is especially problematic in this area. Here are the examples.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Are you happy with the government&#8217;s way of handling social welfare programs and steps to support vulnerable populations?&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Do you have faith in the government to prioritize and give funds for public infrastructure development?&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The two questions provided suffer from being double-barreled, combining multiple inquiries into one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the first question, the government&#8217;s handling of social welfare programs and support for vulnerable populations might not align with the respondents&#8217; satisfaction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Respondents may have different opinions on each aspect, but the question fails to distinguish between them.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similarly, the second question combines trust in the government&#8217;s ability to prioritize and allocate funds appropriately for public infrastructure development.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People might trust the government&#8217;s decision-making but have concerns about fund allocation. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, what would be the correct version of these <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/political-survey-questions\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">political survey questions<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Correct Questions:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are you satisfied with the government&#8217;s handling of social welfare programs?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are you satisfied with the government&#8217;s initiatives to support vulnerable populations?&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you trust the government to prioritize funds appropriately for public infrastructure development?&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you trust the government to allocate funds appropriately for public infrastructure development?&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Shouldnt_You_Use_a_Double_Barreled_Question_in_Your_Surveys\"><\/span><b>Why Shouldn\u2019t You Use a Double Barreled Question in Your Surveys?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We hope now you are a bit clear about why &#8220;Why shouldn&#8217;t use a double barreled question in your surveys.&#8221;\u00a0 However, for more clarification, here are some more reasons behind it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, have you ever encountered ambiguity while analyzing survey data due to double-barreled questions?\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can be quite challenging to disentangle the responses, don&#8217;t you agree? Let\u2019s take this <\/span><a class=\"mozbar-highlight-no-followed-wGA7MhRhQ3WS\" href=\"https:\/\/uta.pressbooks.pub\/foundationsofsocialworkresearch\/chapter\/7-4-designing-effective-questions-and-questionnaires\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">example<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-51829 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/example-of-double-barreled-question-.png\" alt=\"example of double barreled question\" width=\"512\" height=\"156\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/example-of-double-barreled-question-.png 512w, https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/example-of-double-barreled-question--300x91.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can you see what makes it a double barreled question? How would someone reply if they asked if their classes were more demanding but less interesting as compared to their high school classes?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Or less demanding but more interesting? This is because it has both the words \u201cdemanding\u201d and \u201cinteresting.\u201d And there is no way to respond yes to one but no to the other.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And let&#8217;s not forget about the potential response bias caused by these tricky questions. Respondents might lean towards one part of the question, ignoring the other, leading to unreliable data. Have you experienced this issue in your surveys before?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another reason you should avoid using a double barreled question in a survey is that it is lengthy. It can appear more extensive, potentially causing respondents to lose interest and abandon the survey altogether.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s crucial to ensure your surveys are well-structured, with clear, single-focused questions to maintain the quality of your data.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Look at this example. Skype uses a straightforward <\/span><a class=\"mozbar-highlight-no-followed-wGA7MhRhQ3WS\" href=\"https:\/\/www.myteamslab.com\/2017\/01\/skype-for-business-rate-my-call-viewer.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">customer satisfaction survey<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with three properly segregated questions.

You&#8217;ll find that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/types-of-survey-questions\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">crafting effective survey questions<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can be a game-changer for obtaining valuable insights from your respondents.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>1. Break It Down<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider your survey objectives and break down complex ideas into separate, clear questions.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, if you want to know about product satisfaction and customer service, why not ask two questions to understand each aspect better?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here is an example.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-52015 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot-2023-08-22-at-7.25.14-PM.png\" alt=\"Outgrow premade What-did you think about my latest video\" width=\"2764\" height=\"1288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot-2023-08-22-at-7.25.14-PM.png 2560w, https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot-2023-08-22-at-7.25.14-PM-300x140.png 300w, https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot-2023-08-22-at-7.25.14-PM-1024x477.png 1024w, https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot-2023-08-22-at-7.25.14-PM-768x358.png 768w, https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot-2023-08-22-at-7.25.14-PM-1536x716.png 1536w, https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot-2023-08-22-at-7.25.14-PM-2048x954.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2764px) 100vw, 2764px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/premade.outgrow.us\/What-did-you-think-about-my-latest-video\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Source\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The survey has short questions that are divided into different parts.\u00a0 This way, you can get more precise responses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Focus on a Single Subject<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another tip to keep your surveys interesting is to use questions that are based on one subject or topic. This will help you avoid merging multiple issues into one confusing question. Here is a perfect example of this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-52016 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot-2023-08-22-at-7.31.22-PM.png\" alt=\"Questionnaire on consumer behaviour on cosmetic product\" width=\"1922\" height=\"986\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot-2023-08-22-at-7.31.22-PM.png 1922w, https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot-2023-08-22-at-7.31.22-PM-300x154.png 300w, https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot-2023-08-22-at-7.31.22-PM-1024x525.png 1024w, https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot-2023-08-22-at-7.31.22-PM-768x394.png 768w, https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot-2023-08-22-at-7.31.22-PM-1536x788.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1922px) 100vw, 1922px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This survey has the motive to know <\/span><a class=\"mozbar-highlight-no-followed-wGA7MhRhQ3WS\" style=\"font-size: revert;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/MOHAMMEDAFTHABAM\/questionnaire-on-consumer-behaviour-on-cosmetic-product\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">consumer behavior on cosmetic products<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and none of the questions <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">are related to any other subject than cosmetic products. This is an effective way to <\/span><a style=\"font-size: revert;\" href=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/blog\/how-to-create-survey\/\">create surveys<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that are focused and interesting.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Get Feedback<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have you ever asked others to review your survey questions to ensure clarity? If not, you should start doing it and make it a mandatory practice.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before finalizing your survey questions, consider seeking feedback from colleagues or friends. They might spot a potential double barreled question you missed and offer valuable suggestions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Avoid Leading Language<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have you ever encountered surveys that seemed to nudge you toward a specific response?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be cautious with the phrasing of your questions. Avoid leading respondents towards a particular answer, as this can introduce bias into the data. We\u2019ll learn more about this later in the blog.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5. Revise and Edit<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By carefully editing and refining each question, you can enhance the survey&#8217;s clarity, making it easier for participants to comprehend and respond accurately.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clear and concise questions will ultimately yield more meaningful insights and contribute to the success of the research study. Take the time to edit any questions that appear to combine multiple ideas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_Some_Other_Survey_Question_Errors\"><\/span><b>What Are Some Other Survey Question Errors?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creating an enjoyable survey experience is all about connecting with real people and ensuring their voices are heard loud and clear. To achieve this, we must avoid certain pitfalls that might lead to biased or confusing results.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, a double barreled question is not the only type of survey error. So, let\u2019s understand some other common survey blunders and how to steer clear of them:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>1. Leading Questions<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider <\/span><a class=\"mozbar-highlight-no-followed-wGA7MhRhQ3WS\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/service\/leading-questions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">leading questions<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as those sly, sneaky persuaders that nudge respondents towards a particular answer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But that&#8217;s not what you want, right? You want genuine, honest feedback. So, instead of using loaded adjectives like &#8220;fantastic&#8221; or &#8220;amazing,&#8221; let&#8217;s focus on neutral words that allow respondents to share their true opinions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example of a leading question: &#8220;How much did you like our amazing product?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Revised: &#8220;What are your thoughts on our product?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Loaded Questions<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Loaded questions are tricky because they secretly suggest something that might not be true. They kind of force the person to answer in a way that makes it seem like the suggestion is true, even if it&#8217;s not.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Imagine someone asking you, &#8220;Did you finally stop eating all the cookies?&#8221; This question assumes you&#8217;ve been eating too many cookies before, even if you haven&#8217;t.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you answer, &#8220;Yes, I stopped,&#8221; it sounds like you&#8217;re admitting to eating a lot of cookies, even if you didn&#8217;t. It&#8217;s a way to make you seem guilty of something, even though you might not be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here is another example of a loaded question. &#8220;Some say XYZ hospital doesn&#8217;t offer a high quality of patient care; what do you think about XYZ hospital?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here, the issue is that the survey forms a negative tone for a poor image of XYZ Hospital.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Absolutes<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Life is rarely black and white, and so is the case with people&#8217;s opinions. Therefore, instead of forcing respondents into &#8220;always&#8221; or &#8220;never&#8221; answers, give them the freedom to express their thoughts with more nuanced responses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example of a question with absolutes: &#8220;Do you always work on Saturdays?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Revised: &#8220;How frequently do you work on Saturdays?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Bias<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bias in surveys refers to systematic errors that lead to inaccurate results. For example, a question like &#8220;Did you find our user interface easy to navigate and intuitive?&#8221; may initiate &#8220;Social Desirability Bias.\u201d This is because it presumes a positive response.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To avoid such biased surveys, you can rephrase questions like &#8220;How would you rate the ease of navigation and intuitiveness of our user interface?&#8221; This lets respondents give more honest feedback, ensuring excellent reliability and validity.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5. Ambiguous Language<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like a friendly conversation, we want our survey questions to be crystal clear. When questions are vague, they can leave respondents scratching their heads. And that&#8217;s not the kind of engagement we&#8217;re looking for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here is an example of an ambiguous question: &#8220;If X plays a game of badminton with Y, and he&#8217;s a champion player, will he win?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Revised: &#8220;Who do you think will win the badminton game between X and Z?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>6. Confusing Questions<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let&#8217;s be honest; confusion is never fun.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your survey questions must be easy to understand. If respondents can\u2019t understand what you are asking, the results won\u2019t be very useful or accurate. So keep it simple and use plain language that doesn&#8217;t leave respondents scratching their heads in confusion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example of a confusing question: &#8220;Did you like your onboarding experience, or was it bad?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Revised: &#8220;Please share your feedback on your onboarding experience.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Revolutionize_Your_Surveys_With_Outgrows_Cutting-Edge_AI_Tool\"><\/span><b>Revolutionize Your Surveys With Outgrow&#8217;s Cutting-Edge AI Tool<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Outgrow is a time-tested <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/outgrow.co\/survey-maker\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">survey maker tool<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> designed to transform how you conduct surveys and gather valuable insights. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The tool is easy to use and has fantastic features.
