Last updated

A questionnaire is a set of written questions used to collect information from people. In GCSE Psychology, questionnaires are often used to gather data about people's thoughts, feelings, or behaviours. They can include different types of questions, such as multiple-choice or open-ended questions, where people write answers in their own words. Researchers use questionnaires to collect a lot of information quickly and from many people. This helps psychologists understand more about how people think and act.
