Dichotomous pairs
- Dichotomous pairs have responses like:
- Yes/No
- True/False
- Right/Wrong
- Support/Oppose
- These are very popular but they tend to have many problems and few good uses. The response options are very limiting and it is common to include double-barreled items, such as “Did you understand most of the workshop presentation and was it worthwhile?”
- These responses are best used for directing individuals to a different part of a survey. For example, you can ask “Have you ever edited Wikipedia?” and if the respondent answers yes, they are directed to a set of questions for experienced Wikipedians.
