Survey Korean: 설문지, 응답률, 표본, 분석

Core examples: 설문지; 응답률; 표본; 분석; 문항; 보기; 가중치; 교차분석; 만족도.

The problem this article solves

A survey report says:

총 1,200명을 대상으로 온라인 설문을 실시했으며, 응답률은 32.5%였다. 분석에는 성별과 연령별 가중치를 적용했다.

The headline may report public opinion. The methodology tells whether the result deserves trust.

The key principle is:

Survey Korean is question design plus respondent structure plus analysis method.

Core vocabulary and system

설문지

설문지

questionnaire.

It contains questions, answer options, instructions, and sometimes scale labels.

문항

문항

question item.

설문 문항

평가 문항

문항 is a unit of survey design.

보기

보기

answer choice/option.

In surveys, 보기 controls what respondents can select.

응답률

응답률

response rate.

Low response rate can affect interpretation.

표본

표본

sample.

Survey reports should state who was sampled and how.

가중치

가중치

weighting.

It adjusts survey results to better match population characteristics or design requirements.

교차분석

교차분석

cross-tabulation/cross analysis.

It compares responses across groups, such as age, gender, region, or occupation.

분석

분석

analysis.

It turns collected responses into results and claims.

만족도

만족도

satisfaction level.

Common in service, policy, customer, and school surveys.

Genre and function table

Worked example

5점 척도 문항에서 ‘만족’과 ‘매우 만족’을 선택한 응답자를 긍정 응답으로 분류하였다.

Breakdown:

5점 척도 문항 five-point scale item

만족 / 매우 만족 satisfied / very satisfied

긍정 응답 positive response

분류 classified

Plain reading:

For the five-point scale item, respondents who selected “satisfied” or “very satisfied” were classified as positive responses.

The definition of “positive” is a method choice.

Common learner traps

• 응답률 affects interpretation.
• 보기 wording shapes answers.
• 만족도 may combine categories.
• 가중치 is methodological, not decorative.
• 교차분석 can reveal subgroup patterns but also invite overinterpretation.

Reusable reading workflow

1. Identify survey sponsor and source.
2. Read sample and population.
3. Check survey period and method.
4. Read exact 문항 wording if available.
5. Check 보기/scale labels.
6. Check response rate.
7. Identify weighting.
8. Distinguish overall result from subgroup cross-analysis.
9. Summarize result with method caveat.

Survey-method audit table

Survey Korean should be read by method before result.

A survey result without method is only a headline.

Question-wording caution

문항 and 보기 shape the answer. A result saying “만족도 80%” may depend on whether the scale grouped “매우 만족” and “만족,” excluded neutral answers, or allowed multiple responses.

Cross-analysis warning

교차분석 can reveal useful subgroup patterns, but small subgroup samples can mislead. Check 표본수, category size, and whether differences are statistically or practically meaningful.

A strong tool for this article would include:

1. Survey-method worksheet..
2. Question wording viewer..
3. Scale-label parser..
4. Response-rate warning..
5. Weighting note field..
6. Cross-tabulation explainer..

Final rule

Survey Korean: 설문지, 응답률, 표본, 분석 is not just a vocabulary topic. It is a real-source reading problem. Read the genre, actor, status, and consequence before choosing a translation.
