Exercise 2
CRJ 302
One of the questions asked in the survey is “Young children are killing themselves by
trying chewing tobacco after they see professional baseball players do it. Should chewing
tobacco be banned in all levels of baseball? “Emotional language causes people to respond to an
emotionally-charged question differently than they would to a neutral one. Emotionally charged
questions should be avoided because they can bias the results and upset the respondents. Another
question asked was “When you were a child, did you ever see your father hit your mother, or
your mother hit your father?” This question is too personal and is not appropriate. Questions
must only be included if they are important to the research. “What is your race?” The survey
author must always be on the lookout for questions that could be misunderstood or confusing.
