A basic questionnaire in Thai. A questionnaire is a research instrument that consists of a set of questions (or other types of prompts) for the purpose of gathering information from respondents through survey or statistical study. A research questionnaire is typically a mix of close-ended questions and open-ended questions.

This must be demonstrated empirically (for example, by confirmatory factor analysis or Rasch analysis). A questionnaire that measures ...
