Hi everyone,

I have a question about arranging variables of my research model into the questionnaire.

I saw table of variables in some papers, asked AI and searched, but now I'm confused. There is a depended variable, a mediator and some independent variables that some of which have arrows to the dependent variable (the outcome) and some to the mediator.

Is this true?: "To arrange the variables of a research model into a questionnaire, group related items together and move from general topics to specific ones."

My question is: Should I ask the items of dependent variable as the last one in the questionnaire? and how about the mediator? should it come before the outcome? And I think the independent ones should be asked first.

I really appreciate your attention in advance.

I'm doing research on generation Z's purchase intention. I chose a study to use as the base. But I'm going to conduct an additional analysis based on the amount of money respondents have monthly. So I should ask about it as demographic data.

My question is: Since some respondents will be unemployed and supported by for example their parents, I think it's not true to ask about income or anything that calculated based on income. Is shopping budget appropriate or a more comprehensive one is needed? I searched on purchase intention and had a look at papers. They used income.
