Measurement and Surveys Discussion

Political Science question to help me learn.

OK, we have been learning about surveys, and measurement systems and level of measurement.  What we’ll due in this assignment is to develop a survey and discuss the measurement system.

Now here is the scenario:

A researcher wants to know if UCF college students political party affects their satisfaction about police departments.  The researcher will develop a survey to ask college students their political party and ask five questions to measure their satisfaction with police departments.  

Part 1:

For everyone: identify the variables in the study and the kind of research.

Then,

If your last name begins with A-K, develop the informed consent, or what I call preamble, for such a survey. 

If your last name begins with L-Z, develop a 6-question survey. One question will ask about political party five questions will ask about satisfaction with police and these questions will use a Likert scale.  There will be one demographic question asking people their major.
