Dear colleagues
I have a questionnaire that measured self-handicapping on a scale that ranges from 1 (SD) to 5 (SA). When I administered the questionnaire to a sample of about 300 first year university students, I noticed that a very high percentage of students choose only either 1 (SD) or 2( D) and that few of them choose (Neutral). Almost no student choose 4 (A) or 5 (SA). How this will affect my data? results? what is my best options to handle this problem?
Thank you
In principle, I don't think there is a problem here. You administered a questionnaire, which gave you data, with the results being what they are. However, if you sense that there is a problem, I advise you to see whether the problem is not actually in the way the questions are formulated. Otherwise, you should be contented with the results obtained. This is scientific research: results sometimes are not what you expect them to be.
