ABOUT THE WEBINAR
Surveys are one of the most commonly used tools for human factors professionals and ergonomists, yet survey design and use is rarely taught. According to a survey of HFES members, slightly more than 85% of respondents reported that survey construction is important in their work, and about 55% reported that they need education and training in survey construction. This webinar will focus on only one facet of the questionnaire ?iceberg?: developing the requirements document needed to design a successful questionnaire.
In this webinar, Moroney will
- define a questionnaire (it?s more than what you think it is),
- describe when questionnaires are appropriate and inappropriate,
- enumerate the limitations of questionnaires,
- detail similarities between questionnaire development and product/system development,
- propose a strategy for defining the requirements for designing questionnaires, and
- briefly describe new platforms and media for collecting HF/E data.

Moroney, an HFES Fellow, served as an Aerospace Experimental Psychologist in the U.S. Navy for more than 22 years. Moroney is a senior editor of Ergonomics in Design and has authored publications dealing with topics as diverse as motion sickness, helmet-mounted displays, laser designator systems, simulation, and selection and training. He supported the development and upgrading of a variety of advanced aircraft and systems. Moroney taught at the Naval Postgraduate School, the Naval Aviation Safety School, and the Navy Test Pilot School.
