When Should You Use Open-ended Vs. Closed-ended Survey Questions? - The Friendly Statistician

When Should You Use Open-ended Vs. Closed-ended Survey Questions? Are you interested in understanding how to gather meaningful feedback through surveys? In this video, we'll explore the differences between open-ended and closed-ended survey questions. We'll start by explaining what each type of question is and how they function within research and survey design. You'll learn how closed-ended questions provide quick, measurable data that can be easily analyzed and compared across different groups. We’ll also discuss how open-ended questions allow respondents to share their thoughts in detail, offering deeper insights and uncovering new ideas that might not emerge from structured options. We'll show you practical examples of when to use each type of question and how combining both can give you a comprehensive view of your audience's opinions and motivations. Additionally, you'll discover how to interpret the data collected from these questions—closed-ended responses lend themselves to statistical analysis, while open-ended answers require qualitative methods like coding or thematic analysis. Whether you're conducting customer surveys, market research, or academic studies, understanding when and how to use open-ended or closed-ended questions can significantly improve your results.
