Answer: 3 only.
Reasoning:
- (3) is true: online tools and platforms have made designing, distributing, and collecting survey data relatively easy and inexpensive.
- (1) is incorrect because surveys are not generally the best method for deep psychoanalysis of individuals or groups; they measure self-report traits, attitudes, and behaviors, not full psychoanalytic insight.
- (2) is false: surveys can still be skewed by sampling bias, question wording, nonresponse, etc.
- (4) is too strong: surveys are not inherently more accurate than all other research methods; accuracy depends on design, sampling, and the question being studied.
