ankete

Ankete is the plural form of anketa in several South Slavic languages, including Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, Slovenian, and Macedonian, where it denotes a questionnaire or survey used to collect information from individuals. In English, the corresponding terms are survey or poll.

Ankete are structured instruments consisting of questions designed to obtain standardized responses for analysis. They are widely used in social science research, market research, public opinion polling, media studies, and organizational assessments. They can be administered in person, by telephone, online, or via mail.

A typical anketa includes an introduction or consent statement, a core set of questions (often a mix of closed-ended items such as multiple choice or Likert scales and, optionally, open-ended items), and demographic questions that help segment the results. The wording, order of questions, and response options are crafted to minimize bias and to facilitate statistical analysis.

Analysis of anketa data focuses on measures such as frequencies, cross-tabulations, correlations, and regression, depending on the design. Sampling methods, sample size, nonresponse, and question design all influence validity and reliability.

In languages that use ankete, the singular form is anketa and the plural is ankete; the specific grammar varies by language but the meaning remains the same.
