A closed question is a type of question that allows for a limited range of responses, typically requiring a simple answer such as "yes" or "no," or a specific piece of information. Closed questions often aim to gather straightforward, factual information and are useful for quantitative research or surveys. For example:
- "Do you like ice cream?" (Answer choices: Yes or No)
- "What is your age?" (Answer choice: A specific number)
In contrast, open questions invite more elaborate responses and encourage the respondent to provide detailed information or opinions.
