The practice of sociological research and the methodological analysis of the answers of respondents show that respondents, as a rule, try to answer truthfully, i.e., choose those answers that correspond to their opinion. Of course there are cases when a Respondent goes from sincere answer and selects another, about, from his point of view, the answer does not reflect an objective reality. But this is relatively rare. Why? Because in this case the respondents have to travel quite a complicated mental work.
The fact that for the respondents the questionnaire is a chaotic set of questions (we shall speak), where each of them exists by itself, alone, out of touch with others. If the Respondent absolutely not ponder in the questionnaire and notes mechanical first code (this happens in individual respondents if their pain issues), then in order to choose the right answer, he needs to enter the question in their reasoning, and to find in it a response in accordance with the context of certain events. It is a necessary process, because every event and phenomenon of the objective reality exists in the human mind themselves, and in a certain relationship to other events, phenomena, and necessarily in a single system. In this system, the essential value of each phenomenon are determined in the context of past phenomena and events. To identify the value of new, proposed phenomenon, in this case of survey question, respondents must first introduce it in the context of their reasoning in a chain of past events and phenomen
Further, it needs to find the answer, right, or true, in the sense that it meets a certain logic of events, or, in other words, the conceptual logic.
