Questions of(?) Identity

Writing good questionnaires is enormously hard, no matter what. However, I’ve done it numerous times and did think I got the hang of it – until I started this weekend to work on the questionnaire and the interview questions for the Second Life … yes, what? Project? Experience?

Asking anything about identity without turning it into a leading question is the hardest thing I’ve done in a long time. I must have about 15 different wordings of each question, and am still not sure if they are the right ones to ask in the first place.

The questions mainly came out of the lab observations, but of course, I observed what I observed – how do I now stop myself from leading instead of teasing the replies out.

Answers on a postcard, please. A virtual one will do.
