I am interested in using a scale that I found on ResearchGate in my undergraduate research.
It depends on your instructor and the department's requirements pursuant to the student affairs administration's goals and objectives. Most post-secondary schools allow the use of third-party questionnaires as long as credit is properly given. In short, ask your professor, the dean's office, and inquire with the office of student affairs to ensure common ground.
Lucine Kamara Firstly, I suggest for you to contact the author/s of the questionnaires (instrument) and ask their permission to use it in your research study. . . . If given the permission to use it and have utilized it in your research study, it has to be cited and included in the References section of the text of your paper.
