    Research Methods in Social Relations-Questionnaire Construction and Interview Procedure
    (SPSSI, 1976) Kornhauser, Arthur; Sheatsley, Paul B.
    Early in planning their research the investigators will weigh the merits of several techniques for collecting the desired data and decide whether to use a questionnaire' or some other method. If they choose another method, they may still want to supplement it with a questionnaire. In deciding which part of the research job can best be handled by a questionnaire, the investigators must first discover the extent to which the desired data are already available in census volumes, in published or unpublished reports, or in collections of letters, diaries, or other sources. Then they must decide whether all or parts of the needed data can best be obtained through a formal questionnaire or through "depth" interviews, long-continued case studies, standardized tests, refined observations and/or experiment.
