Hello,
Thank you very much for taking the survey, and I absolutely agree. That was one aspect that I did not like about the survey but unfortunately could not change the wording of the answers as the measures are from the standardised Orwell 97 (the not very distinct measures as you mentioned - for my co-investigators research), the SF12 (my simple 12 questions for my psychological study) and the IPIP (many questions here which my co-investigator needs for her part which looks into personality traits). This was something I really did not like but apparently we needed to keep it the same as it has been standardised. That is a good idea to have an indication of the end - I know it is a long survey. This is my first survey, and so far we are so grateful to have such a good response. I want to work in this field, so it means a lot to me that this goes well. Thanks again, really appreciate it.
Ashley.
