self-report surveys

Self-report surveys are tools where individuals provide information about themselves by answering questions. They are commonly used in research to gather insights on opinions, behaviors, feelings, or experiences directly from participants. These surveys rely on honest and accurate responses, often through questionnaires or interviews, and can be administered in person, online, or via mail. They help researchers understand personal perspectives and trends across large groups efficiently. While useful, they depend on truthful self-assessment and clarity of questions to produce reliable data.
