Examples of leading question in the following topics:

  • Interview Conduct

    • Listen to your interviewee, ask questions, respect boundaries, avoid leading questions, and don't interrupt to ensure a successful interview.
    • The interviewer is usually a professional or paid researcher, sometimes trained, who poses questions to the interviewee, in an alternating series of usually brief questions and answers.They are a standard part of qualitative research, in contrast to focus groups in which an interviewer questions a group of people at the same time.
    • While an interviewer generally enters each interview with a predetermined, standardized set of questions, it is important that they also ask follow-up questions throughout the process.
    • Leading questions are questions that suggest or imply a particular answer.
    • It is instead preferable that interviewers ask open-ended questions.
  • Solicit Information

    • Open-ended questions.
    • Questions that ask who, what, where, when, why, and how are generally good open-ended questions.
    • Closed questions.
    • Avoid leading questions.
    • A leading question is one that virtually guarantees that the interviewee will reply with a desired answer.
  • Step 2: Researching

    • It's useful to begin with a few questions related to your topic.
    • And as I click, I can begin to follow "clues" to what leading thinkers or researchers (depending on my topic) have concluded.
    • Putting that question into a search engine yields many articles, some very recent.
    • You have a question, you find information that informs you, and you make your question more specific.
    • You keep at it (a more specific question, finding a variety of well-thought-out answers to the question, which lead to a still-more-specific question) until you feel confident creating a statement you can stand behind.
  • Q&A Considerations in Non-Academic Environments

    • A speaker cannot predict every question, but he or she can identify likely questions and prepare responses in advance.
    • Sometimes, basic questions are actually the hardest questions to answer.
    • Begin by explaining the question in layman's terms.
    • To take a moment to think about a question, stall with a phrase like, "That's an interesting question. " Be careful with this tactic, though—if the speaker praises one question too much, the other audience members may feel insulted if he or she does not give their questions equal praise.
    • There is no such thing as a bad question.
  • Conducting a Q&A Session

    • Make sure you understand the question.
    • Look at the questioner as you answer the question, but still present the answer to the whole audience.
    • If the questioner starts to give a counter speech, politely interrupt and ask for his or her question.
    • You may also arrange an "open" question period prior to the speech in order to solicit relevant questions.
    • This audience member leads the Q&A session with a microphone in hand.
  • Constructing Public Opinion Surveys

    • Usually, a survey consists of a number of questions the respondent answers in a set format.
    • A distinction is made between open-ended and closed-ended questions.
    • An open-ended question asks the respondent to formulate his or her own answer, while closed-ended questions have the respondent choose an answer from a given number of options.
    • The four types of response scales for closed-ended questions are:
    • Question design: Survey question answer-choices could lead to vague data sets because, at times, they are relative only to a personal abstract notion concerning "strength of choice".
  • Identifying Your Heavy Hitters in Technology

    • They also frequently fail to answer questions as promptly and courteously as they could.
    • Is there a resource you can turn to whenever you have a question concerning hardware and software—even a question about small things like italicizing text or setting different kinds of tabs in a document?
    • Do the people who communicate with you about technology make you feel important and respected when you ask them questions?
    • The "Suzies" in most large businesses aren't paid to answer questions about software and hardware.
    • Often, acute resource gaps of this sort lead to unhappiness, distress, and diminished productivity..
  • Benefits of I-Search

    • Students' own choices lead the research within the context of the curriculum content, which helps increase motivation as indicated by the Six C's of motivation.
    • Students choose a topic and a question to answer that have personal meaning to them, thereby enhancing their desire to complete a thorough search for answers to their questions.
    • This allows other members of the learning community to follow the writers' thought processes as their search leads them along the path of discovery.
  • Answers to Chapter 5 Questions

    • Thus, a stock market crash could lead to a financial crisis.
  • Organizing Your Research Plan

    • Then, in step three, you would come up with a research question.
    • Posing a historical question opens up research to more reference possibilities.
    • Next, in step four, you generate sub-questions from your main question.
    • Our example would lead us to possibly look at newspapers or magazines printed in the late 18th or early 19th century.
    • It is likely that someone has researched your topic before, and even possibly a question similar to yours.
