Pretesting is the process of obtaining information from a sample of people representative of those who will be questioned in an actual survey. This helps to identify and address any potential issues with question wording, format, or instructions before the survey is administered to the full sample. Random-digit dialing is a sampling technique used to select phone numbers at random for a phone survey. Jamming and positioning are not related to survey research. Scaling refers to the process of assigning values to survey responses to measure the degree of a particular attitude or behavior.
