Abstract

The paper designs the open-ended questionnaire by the methods fusion of ethnographic decision tree model (EDTM) and grounded theory. Based on the related theory of ethnographic decision tree model, this paper analyzes the feasibility and necessity of the methods fusion about this model and grounded theory. The improved model is applied into the design of open-ended questionnaire. The paper proposes the architecture of open-ended questionnaire on model design, taking social networking site users' loss as an example. The result shows that the order and integrity of the content item is very satisfactory. The architecture of open-ended questionnaire on model has a guiding significance.
