A survey is an example of an experimental method. A survey
is a collection of data using a form and a specific population. I am somehow a
part of some specific population (a group of people with something in common)
since a survey company is constantly sending me requests to take surveys, like
the one I posted here. Obviously a researcher cannot talk to every person in
the specific population, so a sample group is formed. The best way to get
results and answers from this group is a survey in which individuals are asked
a series of questions and are usually anonymous. If a researcher is surveying people in person
(rather than this online survey I was invited to), it is important to make
observations while surveying. These observations can be anything qualitative
about the subject. A survey is just one
of many different types of research methods that can be used to obtain results.
