Explain how were these guidelines met in the creation of the SDS? What principles were met in the standardization of the instrument that makes it a good survey tool?

The most important characteristics of a good survey are clarity, relevance, and reliability. My topic of choice is “Exploring the Dimensions of Smartphone Distraction”, containing a good variety of survey principles.

Upon analysis of the Smartphone Distraction Scale, Isee both strengths and potential improvements.

A major strength is the items were reviewed by experts and pilot-tested with students to ensure relevance and comprehension. Additionally, the survey is well constructed with the appropriate target population. My analysis suggests the scale is fundamentally sound but could be refined through strategic modifications such as reverse-scoring strategies and reducing the scale to less than 33 items as length might introduce respondent fatigue.

this was the feedback provided on my initial post:
The textbook lists several guidelines for the creation of good survey items that can result in accurate data. In my content announcement, I also linked several resources that outlines these guidelines. I’d like for you to expand this initial post to include at least 3 of these guidelines.

Moreover, how were these guidelines met in the creation of the SDS? What principles were met in the standardization of the instrument that makes it a good survey tool?
