[QUOTE="primmiemoo, post: 5908226, member: 83588"] Starting off ok, then a steady decline into Hellman's Mayonnaise territory, à la Victoria Wood's market researcher sketch really winds me up, as do the following: - Finding out afterwards that the promised incentive is not in the post or has not come through via email. I did some surveys about anthelmintics (well known manufacturer) online after being recruited by phone, was promised vouchers - £20-40 - that did not appear. Subsequent contacts with the named organiser were fobbed off. - Lack of open ended questions. Life, as we've learned since the B— word, isn't a tick box situation. Life is more nuanced. I'd like better bona fides to check through from the survey organisers, as has been mentioned upthread. Oh, and after having seen a research student bung a heap of surveys onto a table in a shop's staff canteen [(Airily) "For anyone to do. I'll collect them tomorrow ..."] that her prof had stipulated were to be carried out in the streets in the town - I suspect there's a lot of bodging in the collection of data, and wonder how much supervision and checking of method and accuracy of the data collection there is in some studies.
