Pretesting

It is sound practice to double-check the quality of social scientific instruments for collecting data before putting them to use. Of particular interest is the question if and how questions, terms, or items are understood by the survey participants.

GESIS-ZUMA offers the following services for optimizing questions and questionnaires:

  • Consultation on the development of pretest designs
  • Consultation on the selection and use of various pretesting methods
  • Qualitative pretesting
