Abstract

This article aims to provide an easy-to-understand introduction to the survey methodology commonly used in social sciences. While making this introduction, "four cornerstone of quality surveys" framework was utilized. These four important cornerstones are coverage, sampling error, non-response error, and measurement error, respectively. A good understanding of these errors is very important to make better interpretations about the target population parameters.

Özet

Bu makale sosyal bilimlerde sıkça kullanılan anket metodolojisine kolay anlaşılır bir giriş yapmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu giriş yapılırken literatürde kaliteli anketlerin dört köşe taşı olarak bilinen çerçeve kullanılmıştır. Bu dört önemli köşe taşı sırasıyla kapsam hatası, örnekleme hatası, cevap vermeme hatası ve ölçüm hatasıdır. Bu hata türlerinin iyi anlaşılması, hedef popülasyon parametreleri hakkında daha sağlıklı yorumlar yapabilmek için çok önemlidir.
