Surveys

I think the most important thing the Survey section and discussions of the class has taught me is that I can come up with a valid survey instrument. It just needs to be peer-reviewed and piloted to help increase it's validity and reliability (I think I'm using these terms correctly). I love the survey process that Bonne and Jen went through. This really shows the refinement of the tool, or at least the initial stages of the refinement. I would like to come up with a survey instrument that gets at self-esteem, self-efficacy and identity in young girls, particularly those who play exergames, so this is a great starting point for me. I was going to use a tool that has already been developed and still may borrow from that, but I really like the idea of creating my own.
