The book “*SAGE Handbook of Questionnaire Design*” is intended to be a
comprehensive,
authoritative volume that will eventually operate as the Benchmark work in
the field of survey design. There is definitely a need for an up-to-date
handbook on questionnaire design. Many books have been published on the
topic, but most of those books are greatly outdated. There have been many
developments in questionnaire design in general during the past several
years, and some interesting development in specific fields of research, so
a handbook that can provide a more updated account and be a one-stop source
would be very helpful for researchers.



The proposed book will be divided in two parts. The first part will focus
on issues in basic research using questionnaire design. The second part
will focus on issues in applied research using questionnaire design.
*Recommended
topics include, but are not limited to, the following: *

·         Theory-driven versus theory-seeking approaches to survey design

·         Use of English versus other languages in survey design

·         How questions frame answers in survey design

·         User-computer interactions issues in survey design

·         Cross-cultural differences in participants’ responses to surveys

·         Statistical issues in survey design

·         Ethical issues in survey design

·         Surveys within public versus private domains
