Hello
I want to build a questioner about emotional and cognitive Strategies . my question is:
how should I Formulate sentences or items?
they should began mostly with " I thing " or "I feel" to represent the emotional and cognitive side of the subject ?
or
they should began with a verb to present a behavior or an act "I do" to represent the Strategies?
Tank you
I think it really depends on the actual questions you want to ask. For example, if you were to ask about someone's happiness, you could use items such as -
I feel happy when the sun is shining.
I am happy when the sun is shining.
Formulate your sentences so they are clear to both you and anyone else who will be reading them, for the information you want to gain from them, and in a way you are comfortable with.
Hope this helps.
Then your happiness links to the sun, better
I always feel happy --- - --------- I never feel happy
The sun was just an example. I would make the statement and then using likert scales have 1 as never, going up the scale to 5 always. Sorry, I should have put that.
About the strategies (if I understood what you mean) I suggest to give clear alternatives to choose from, but leave also an “other” option, for example:
When I need to deal with a problem at work:
- i talk to my boss
- i talk to a colleague
- i don’t talk to anyone
- other
if you use google forms putting the automatic “other” option will leave the possibility to write what the person think. Meaning that at the end, in the google automatically generated graphic, it will be counted individually rather than a single groups of “other”. If you wish to avoid this, you should write the word “other” yourself, do not use the google suggested “automatic other”.
I THINK, FOR COGNITIVE ITEMS.
I FEEL, FOR EMOTIONAL ITEMS.
I DO, FOR BEHAVIOURAL ITEMS.
ALSO, I THINK MAY BE MEANS " I FEELS" .
