A note on asking generative AI to suggest academic articles with good quality questionnaire questions for measurement: for Housing Studies students (information from perplexity.ai)

My question: "Suggest 5 main Housing Studies concepts that have been studied and reported in academic articles with usage of good quality questionnaire questions. Please provide the names of these academic articles with clear Harvard reference format."

The reply: "Here are five main Housing Studies concepts that have been studied and reported in academic articles with usage of good quality questionnaire questions, along with their Harvard references:

1. Housing Affordability

   • This concept examines the complexity and concerns related to the affordability of housing, including factors like house price/income ratios and personal satisfaction levels using questionnaires.

   • Reference:
     Ho, J.K.K., 2015. An examination of the sources of complexity on housing affordability (HA) as a concept and concerns in Housing Studies. European Academic Research, 2(10), pp.13133-13153.

2. Housing as a Determinant of Health Equity

   • This research models the impact of housing on health disparities, focusing on conditions, cost (affordability), consistency (residential stability), and context (neighborhood opportunity), supported by empirical data including questionnaire-based studies.

   • Reference:
     Swope, C.B. and Hernández, D., 2019. Housing as a determinant of health equity: A conceptual model. Social Science & Medicine, 243, p.112571.

3. Perceived Housing Inequality

   • Studies develop psychometrically robust measurement models to assess perceived inequalities in housing using validated questionnaire items.

   • Reference:
     Nasrabadi, M.T. et al., 2025. Developing a measurement model to assess perceived housing inequality. Journal of Housing Studies, [online] Available at: [URL].

4. Housing and Subjective Well-Being

   • Research investigates the relation between housing conditions and subjective well-being, often gauged through questionnaire surveys examining satisfaction and psychosocial impacts.

   • Reference:
     Chan, S.M., 2025. Housing and Subjective Well-Being in Hong Kong. Social Indicators Research, [online] Available at: [URL].

5. Housing Satisfaction

   • Concepts of housing satisfaction are explored through empirical means such as questionnaires which assess how different access options impact satisfaction among various income groups.

   • Reference:
     Author(s), 20XX. Housing Satisfaction—Concepts, Research and Evidence. [Journal/Report], [online] Available at: [URL]. (Specific authors and year need to be confirmed from JSTOR or similar database).

These articles demonstrate the use of high-quality questionnaire questions in empirical studies addressing key housing concepts like affordability, health impacts, inequality perceptions, well-being, and satisfaction in the field of Housing Studies. The references follow the Harvard format as closely as possible based on available data."
