Detailed explanation-1: -Because surveys collect data at a single point in time, it is difficult to measure changes in the population unless two or more surveys are done at different points in time. Such repetition is often expensive and time-consuming, making frequent periodic surveys impractical.
Detailed explanation-2: -Online surveys commonly suffer from two serious methodological limitations: the population to which they are distributed cannot be described, and respondents with biases may select themselves into the sample. Research is of value only when the findings from a sample can be generalized to a meaningful population.
Detailed explanation-3: -Which of the following is true about survey research? Survey research is one of the best methods for gathering a vast amount of original data on a large population.
Detailed explanation-4: -Surveys are also the most appropriate method of research when you want to understand a large population quickly. Not only is it most convenient to send a large group an online survey, but it also provides more accurate results than sending a survey to a smaller population.
