i have searched a lot about samples or temples for surveys regarding that topic without any success, any help please??
Dear Mohammed,
I don't actually know where you can find surveys for this but I would say:
1. If you don't find any maybe it is because no one has done them - which makes your survey valuable - or maybe it is because they may not be suitable? Surveys might not give you the depth you want or the answers may not give you the information you need? even if you do use surveys your search for them and to find one is useful to describe, and something you should write about in your project. This is a good article related to this area and how people feel when asked to provide responses in surveys that do not really reflect their true thinking -
Galasiński, D., & Kozłowska, O. (2010). Questionnaires and lived experience: strategies of coping with the quantitative frame. Qualitative Inquiry, 16(4), 271–284.
2. Have you considered using interviews or other methods to explore this? Something you may find useful I worked on may help with some ideas and it is in an article here:
Cortazzi, M., Pilcher, N., & Jin, L. (2011). “Language choices and ‘blind shadows’: investigating interviews with Chinese participants”. Qualitative Research, 11(5), 505-535.
Wish you all the best with your project,
Nick
Dear Nick, thanks a lot for your response, I've seen some works regarding the topic but without the surveys used in those papers/researches, I'm doing a thesis on that topic regarding Girne, a city in Northern Cyprus, and an interview although might be better regarding the data and the feedback.. but it's time consuming and some people would not feel comfortable as in the case of a survey.
Now the idea is to add a comment space in the end, but still, I don't know where or how to start generating questions, how many questions are acceptable, those are the set backs really.
thanks again for your answer, thank you very much.
Dear Mohammad Rihawi,
I suggest a quantitative approach to data not based on an ideal standardized individual, which cannot possibly correspond to reality. I suggest observation of the subject as not an idealized subject. The discursive approach (Discourse Analysis, Michel Pêcheux) do not hygienize the observed subjects: this practice leaves behind the dead quantitative assessment and becomes effective social work. This perspective, called "fourth-generation qualitative assessment".
Wish you all the best with your research.
