Exercises 10-1 Suppose you are thinking of surveying the general public about party identification, the psychological feeling of closeness or attachment to a political party. (Party identification is not party registration, which is a formal designation. It is an attitude or disposition toward a party.) a) b) d) Write an example of a closedended guestion. Make sure that the possible answers to the question are both exclusive and exhaustive. If you morally disagreed with your party's candidate would you vote for them anyways, vote for the other party's candidate, or not vote at all? Write an example of an open-ended guestion. What factors would make you switch from one political party to the other? Write an example of a leading question that would likely yield more Republican respondents. In your opinion, do you think gun control laws and regulations should be changed? Write an example of a leading question that would likely yield more Democratic respondents. Should there be policies put into place to resolve the gap between the rich and the poor? Exercises 10-3 Provide a short evaluation or critique of the following survey questions. If you do not see any problems with a question, just say so. a) What is your opinion of a national at tax? Do you oppose or favor it, or do you have no opinion?" The problem I see is that the first question is open-ended and could potentially yield a good amount of information. However, the second question is close-ended so the participant is led to believe the only response the survey is looking for is oppose, favor, or no opinion
