Question 3

Correct Answer:

Answered by Examlex AI Copilot

Sure, here is a six-item questionnaire about "happiness" that counters the acquiescence bias:

1. On a scale of 1-10, how satisfied are you with your overall life?
2. What specific activities or experiences bring you the most joy and fulfillment?
3. How often do you experience feelings of contentment and peace?
4. Can you recall a recent moment when you felt genuinely happy and why?
5. Do you believe that happiness is a choice, and if so, what factors contribute to your ability to choose happiness?
6. How do you define happiness for yourself, and do you believe it is achievable on a consistent basis?

To analyze the data and make it less susceptible to the extremity bias, we can use a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods. For the quantitative analysis, we can calculate the average score for question 1 to gauge overall life satisfaction. Additionally, we can look for patterns and correlations between the responses to questions 2, 3, and 4 to identify common sources of happiness and frequency of experiencing it.

For the qualitative analysis, we can categorize and analyze the responses to questions 2, 4, 5, and 6 to gain a deeper understanding of the individual experiences and perspectives on happiness. By combining both quantitative and qualitative methods, we can mitigate the impact of extremity bias and gain a more comprehensive understanding of happiness.
