Pulse Asia - Do you believe the surveys they do?

[mrpink]

i don't believe them as absolute truths ...

[yebo]

it always favors the one paying for it.

also, when it comes to political surveys, the opinions of the people taking the surveys will definitely factor into the equation. remember that the questions can always be designed to favor a particular result (example, "are you gay?" as against "are you in touch with your feminine side?" the first will most likely return a NO answer, the second will have a 50/50 result).

and that's not to mention surveyors who put in the trash answer sheets that do not agree with their own personal politics.

this is an easy accusation to make but is simply out of touch with the realities of professional reasearch. there are procedures followed to make sure that field workers strictly follow proper sampling procedures, proper interview procedures and proper professional conduct.

nope, the fact that they only get opinions from just hundreds of people is not enough.

they can manipulate the results depending on how they asked a particular question depende sa gusto ng nagbayad.. example din..

So are you YES or NO?

[mbt]

well, it's directed at those who are in doubt about such surveys, but i'm not saying that they're definitely valid,... since i haven't seen the questionnaires and studied the methodologies myself hehe

So you see? You agree that the way a question is posed, you expect the kind of answer you will get.

[bruswayne]

No

[pissword]

aha!!! ewan! hehehe...

[mbt]

boyferrari,

certainly, the way the question is framed will affect the responses (as any social science major know), but the big question is whether professional research organizations even remotely consider framing questions that way. i am very much inclined to believe that they do not. the study will simply be invalid and they know that, and will not risk their credibility and corporate reputations for the relatively tiny bit of income that one ad hoc project will bring in.

[j_avonni]

A BIG NO!

haba ng pasensya ni mbt ah
