Thank you very much again. I have a last question: in dichotomous scales like Yes- No or True - False, is it the same case? I mean, I should not use quotations marks, instead of that italicizing too? Best regards.

Thank you for the response Chelsea. The Likert'type scales explanation is very clear. This way, about the questions at the survey, as you wrote in your response, should I use quotation marks without capitalization?, if It's so, what case of quotation marks use is this? Thank you very much.

Hi Chelsea: I want you help me with this doubt. I have questions and choices for each question in a survey, like this: 1. ¿Do you agree with the opinion of most person? a. Most of the time. b. Some of the time. c. Seldom. d. Never When I write the results and I would like to mention the question sentence and/or the choices, should I use capitalization, italic, quotation marks? I mean this: Whe people answered the question "¿Do You Agree with the Opinion of Most Person?", 45% of them answered "Some of the Time". If your response were quotation marks or italic, should I do it all the ocurrences or just the first one? Thank you very much for your help.

In this case, I understood that first example is correct, did't I? I mean this: According to “The State of Obesity 2018” report (as cited in Molina, 2018), no state got better in their obesity rates from a year earlier. And I got a little bit confused. You say Obesity Report is secondary source. I thought the Online Newspaper Article is the secondary and the report is the primary. Am I wrong? Best regards

And in this case, I have the same question about first and secondary sources: Text in Online Newspaper Article: According to The State of Obesity 2018 report, no state showed significant statistical improvement in their obesity rates from a year earlier. Only two states – Hawaii and Colorado – and the District of Columbia had obesity rates below 25 percent. Reference: Molina, B. (2018, September 16). Seven states have obesity rates above 35 percent, report finds. USA Today. Retrieved from https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2018/09/14/adult-obesity-rates-reach-35-percent-seven-states-says-report/1301324002/ Question: Do I have to handle this case like first or secondary source? I mean this way: According to “The State of Obesity 2018” report (as cited in Molina, 2018), no state got better in their obesity rates from a year earlier. Or this way: According to “The State of Obesity 2018” report, no state got better in their obesity rates from a year earlier (Molina, 2018).

I have a question about first and secondary sources: Text in Online Newspaper Article: Garrett Ventry, another spokesman for committee Republicans, said in response: “Democrats have chosen once again to call for delay.” Reference: Sullivan, S., Min, S., & Sonmez, F. (2018, September 16). GOP senator: Hold off on Kavanaugh vote until accuser is heard. The Washington Post. Retrieved from https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/senators-say-kavanaugh-letter-wont-hold-up-confirmation-process/2018/09/16/cbee4b4c-b9b9-11e8-9812-a389be6690af_story.html?utm_term=.e82ae4a139db Question: Do I have to handle this case like first or secondary source? I mean this way: Democrats have done it again, according to Ventry (as cited in Sullivan, Min, & Sonmez, 2018)? Or this way: Democrats have done it again, according to Ventry (Sullivan, Min, & Sonmez, 2018)?
