The decision of choosing which text is entered as entered as a statement or part of the question literal and which as an instruction, is discretionary. This is because the way instructions are used within questionnaires can vary greatly and therefore it is difficult to apply a consistent protocol. Some salient features of text entered as instructions are: the text is often shorter, practically-orientated (in answering the question), and positioned closer to the response domain. Furthermore, if the text is entered as a statement then it is positioned after the question componentconstruct.
