Street Heat Website Survey

Planning Survey for Charity Website
In this Survey I am going to include many different styles of questions in order to establish the public’s views on the homeless. Firstly I am going to base much of the content on facts about the homeless in questioned styled for agreeing, being unsure or disagreeing. This will then indicate whether the average total of those taking part and considering this the average person, is aware of the truths about homelessness.

  In my previous survey for my preliminary website I had made the mistake of not including a ‘don’t know’ option in my block questions therefore I am going to include this in the Charity Website Survey for more accurate results of the audiences knowledge.

I am also going to use a physiological technique with this survey to try and make the person answering do so more honestly than usual. I will do this by using questions that may not be so relevant to the subject therefore people will not expect what I am going to be asking from knowing what the research study is concerning and will answer more truthfully.
