survey design – Political analysis

The project is to design and evaluate a survey questionnaire. Students should choose one of the research questions below – or an alternative, agreed with their class teacher – and design a questionnaire that can address that research question. The submitted assignment should contain three components: i) an explanation of the model and variables required to address the research question; ii) an explanation of the choice of survey questions to measure those variables; iii) a copy of the questionnaire (which should not count towards the word limit). More details will be provided in lectures and in class.
Research questions:
1) 2) 3) 4)
Why are men more supportive of military action than women? Does education have a causal effect on an individual’s level of political participation? What drives support for far right parties: economic concerns or political dissatisfaction? Under what circumstances do environmental attitudes result in environmental behaviour?
