If surveys are the most flexible and efficient way of doing research, why would we want to do any other kind of research?
What will be an ideal response?
Because surveys also have a number of disadvantages. Surveys do not allow the researcher to control the environment and are therefore less suited to answering questions of causality than experimental designs. It can also be difficult to come to a
deeper understanding of processes and contextual differences through questionnaires, which are standardised and by their nature limited in length and depth of responses. Finally, while questionnaires are highly suited to gathering information on respondents’ perceptions and opinions of a situation, gathering information on respondent behaviours can be problematic as self-reports are not always reliable in this respect.
