Inviting Published Questionnaire

Dear friends,

Currently, our institute has taken one project titled " Orientation Training on Questionnaire design for Psychological and Educational Researches," The project will be completed in March, 2009. The project is mainly for researchers of North Eastern States. It includes two parts: (a) preparation of training manual and (b) the training to faculties, research fellows, project workers and college teachers.

Various principles of questionnaire design will be included in the training manual based on empirical researches. It is decided that some published questionnaires will be in the manual. Each questionnaire should focus on the problems of North-Eastern states. In this connection, I am inviting contribution of published questionnaire on issues related to (a) academic motivation; (b) human trafficking; (c) displacement of people; (d) attitude towards natural disaster (e) ethnic identity crisis; (f) epidemiological study in mental health (g) self efficacy of agricultural farmers and (h) training impact analysis.

Following format is proposed in publication:
1. Title
2. Author's name
3. Journal references or Sources
4. Brief description about operational definition of variables, underlying theories; and application,
5. Example of items with specific instruction to the subject
6. Scoring procedure
7. Item analysis
8. Reliability
9. Validity
10. Norm (if available)
11. Brief introduction about author/s
12. Related references of published articles

If any one in North-Eastern states possesses large data set, interested to contribute in the proposed document and not able to analyze the data, free support will be provided for data analysis and reporting.

With regards,
Dr. D. Dutta Roy, Principal Investigator of the project
