easily be adopted for both Questionnaire Type 1 and

Questionnaire Type 2 types of questionnaires because

there are only a few specific requirements for their

Type 3 and Questionnaire Type 4, which can o en be

much more complicated.

Therefore, it is usually not recommended for a

single paper to combine a questionnaire validation study

with a research study by using either a Questionnaire Type

3 and Questionnaire Type 4 in which an unvalidated

questionnaire that is awaiting validation will be used for a

research purpose (Note: see the classification of the four

categories of the questionnaire, section: Types of

questionnaires). This is because the validation process of

these types of questionnaires are very complicated, which

will make the paper appear cluttered with too many tables
