One strength of using questionnaires as sociological research method is it is quick and cheap. Since, the reearcher does not need to interview the respondents one by one, the researcher could make a lot of copies of the questions and he/she could just simply spread the questions to the large amount of people and let the respondents write down their answers by themselves and the researcher have to wait the respondents to reply their answers back.
Another strength of using questionnaires as sociological research method is the answers that the respondents gave to the researcher is able to be tabulated in the quantitatice data which is a data that can be tabulated in the forms of numbers, statistic, graph, pie chart, etc. Thus, make the researcher able to determine the social trends in the society easily.
One limitations of using questionnaires as sociological research methods is low response rate. The numbers of respondents who will reply the answers back to the researcher is very low because the respondents might think that those questions are not really important and they just ignore it therefore, researcher might find difficulties to do the research done.
Another limitations of using questionnaires as sociological research methods is since the respondents are not allowed to give in-depth explanations through their answers therefore the answers that the respondents give are unable to be tabulated in the qualitative data. Secondly, questionnaires are low in reliability because we do not know who exactly answering the questions. For example : the questions are set for the parents but there is possibility that the children who are the one who answering the questions.
