		We might conclude that the idea of using the questionnaire as a research tool is a very attractive one. Indeed, it offers the researcher many advantages. However, there are some disadvantages in its use as well, for example:
	
	
	
	
	 
	They are impersonal
	
	
	They can be used for enquiring about sensitive topics, which respondents might feel uncomfortable talking about.
	
	
	They can be administered by the researcher or by a number of people;
	
	
	A large sample of information can be gathered from a large number of people in a relatively short period of time at a low cost; 
	
	 
	They are relatively simple to administer and easy to analyze;
