The Assignment (2 pages):
Explain what free-format self-report measures and fixed-format self-report measures are and provide specific examples. Plan to devote a paragraph to describing each.
Compare the advantages of free-format self-report measures and fixed-format self-report measures in a table similar to the one provided below. Provide at least three advantages for each. Paraphrase(put in your own words) rather than directly quoting from the Learning Resources.
Free-format advantages Fixed-format advantages
Advantage 1 Advantage 1
Advantage 2 Advantage 2
Advantage 3 Advantage 3
Respond to oneof the following two questions (A or B):
Briefly describe a research study in which a free-format self-report measure will be preferred over fixed-format self-report measure and justify your rationale.
Which free-format self-report measure (e.g., projective measure, associative, list etc.) would you prefer to administer if you were a researcher for your chosen study? Justify your rationale for the selection.
Briefly describe a research study in which a will be preferred over free-format self-report measure and justify your rationale.
Which fixed-format self-report measure (e.g., Likert scale, semantic differential, etc.) would you prefer to administer if you were a researcher for the study? Justify your rationale for the selection.
