The second video in Pew Research Center's "Methods 101" series helps explain question wording - a concept at the center of sound public opinion survey research - and why it’s important.
So glad I stumbled upon this, this am. Thank you for the video. If I might inquire as to the books that are visually referenced in the video? Might there be a list of recommended reading materials...maybe a "top 5" of "Must read" on the subject of designing survey questions for analysis? I'm a computational social sci analyst, and while I understand the bias effects of poorly chosen phrasing...leading or priming et al, I'd really like to specialize in the development of opinion polling to go with the cluster analytics and topic modeling I currently employ. Thoughts? And thank you again for the video that piqued my interest here...I look forward to checking out the remainder of this series!
_LoL really? We wouldn’t need this 101 if teachers and parents would and could teach their children to comprehend what they’re reading and understanding of the real world. Not some crap on their phone or tablet. Maybe this what happens when you dumb them down to the point of being told what to think, say and understand. What’s sad, this was targeted at adults. Hmmm! How many of these adults would understand my statement and point?_
I understand your reasoning, but apparently, the biases that are described in this video don't only concern the younger generation but the population as a whole. I don't think it is something you can describe as just the result of restrictive education.
_But you have to start from the beginning, which is the education system and from parents, plus helping them with their reasoning, deduction, and interpretation of a straightforward generalization of a simple idea or question(s). Then of course, as time goes by, it becomes more complicated as they start to understand the complexities of advanced thinking. By the way! Thanks for a congenial reply with an important observation._

This series is really useful. Thank you!
Really great series
Excelente material. Saludos desde la Facultad de Ciencias Sociales - Universidad de Buenos Aires, Argentina!
How about the use of positive and negative word choice in multiple choice that would skew results?

How to speak to Americans:
1. don't use big words
2. don't use a lot of words
3. don't confuse them
etc....etc...
True.
I mean they want to get an accurate read on Republicans too, so, yeah.
Yes that is very boring and confusing for us
LOWER THE BACKGROUND MUSIC. I CAN BARELY LISTEN TO HER WITH THE MUSIC SO LOUD.
