Quantitative survey data possesses several distinct characteristics i.e., fixed small range of ordinal values, importance of respondent category labels etc. Due to such reasons quantitative survey data is not appropriate for existing analysis methods involving aggregate statistics. Literature has advised to utilize pattern based analysis tools instead of aggregate statistics since patterns are more informative and efficient in reflecting respondents’ preferences. Thus, we introduce a specialized pattern based clustering technique for survey data that uses the convention of direction instead of magnitude. Further, it does not require manual setting of clustering parameters whereas it automatically identifies respondent categories and their representative features with the help of an adaptive procedure. We apply proposed method over an original academic survey dataset and compare its results with K-Means clustering method in terms of interpretability and usability. We utilize benchmark stakeholder theory to verify the results. Results suggest that proposed pattern clustering method performs far better in segregating survey responses according to the stakeholder theory and the clusters made by it are much more meaningful. Hence, results empirically validates that pattern based analysis methods are more suitable for analyzing quantitative survey data.","PeriodicalId":46454,"journal":{"name":"Survey Research Methods","volume":"15 1","pages":"169-185"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2021-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44166497","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The duration questions themselves are burdensome for respondents to answer as they ask for precise dates of the earliest possible hiring for the vacancy, the start of the personnel search, and the decision to hire the selected applicant. Consequently, the nonresponse rates for these items have been relatively high over the years (up to 21 percent). In an effort to reduce item nonresponse, a split-ballot experiment was conducted to test the strategy of providing additional clarifying information and examples to assist respondents in answering the date questions. The results revealed a backfiring effect. Although there was evidence that respondents read the additional clarifying information, this led to even more item nonresponse and lower data quality compared to the control group. Additionally, we observed a negative spillover effect with regard to item nonresponse on a subsequent (non-treated) question. We conclude this article by discussing possible causes of these results and suggestions for further research.","PeriodicalId":46454,"journal":{"name":"Survey Research Methods","volume":"15 1","pages":"195-206"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2021-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47805076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Estimated survey duration equations may be used to estimate survey duration, however, there are no studies assessing their use. The objective of this study is to evaluate estimated survey duration equations using a health risk assessment. Six existing estimated survey duration equations were identified. Using health risk assessment data from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018, an average participant profile was built to inform the inputs into the estimated survey duration equations. Estimated survey duration of the health risk assessment ranged from 7.64 minutes to 39.6 minutes. Using the same dataset, the estimated survey duration was compared to the actual completion time of the health risk assessment. The average completion time of the health risk assessment was 11.27 minutes. The estimated survey duration equations either under- or overestimated the completion time of the health risk assessment. The equation that is based on word count, number of questions, decisions, and open text boxes is recommended for use to estimate the duration of a health risk assessment although it was an overestimate. Using estimated survey duration equations appear to be a suitable alternative to pilot testing but future studies are needed to further evaluate these equations in other types of surveys.","PeriodicalId":46454,"journal":{"name":"Survey Research Methods","volume":"15 1","pages":"187-194"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2021-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46128605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

DI refers to a data collection technique that incorporatesinformation from prior interview rounds into subsequent waves. While thismethod is considered an e\u000bective remedy for random measurement error,it can also introduce more systematic errors, in particular when respondentsare rst reminded of their previously provided answer and then askedabout their current status. The aim of this paper is to assess the impactof DI on measurement error in employment mobility. We take advantageof a unique experimental situation that was created by the roll-out of dependentinterviewing in the Dutch Labour Force Survey (LFS). We applyHidden Markov Modeling (HMM) to linked LFS and Employment Register(ER) data that cover a period before and after dependent interviewing wasabolished, which in turn enables the modeling of systematic errors in theLFS data. Our results indicate that DI lowered the probability of obtainingrandom measurement error but had no signi cant e\u000bect on the systematiccomponent of the error. The lack of a signi cant e\u000bect might be partiallydue to the fact that the probability of repeating the same error was extremelyhigh at baseline (i.e when using standard, independent interviewing);therefore the use of DI could not increase this probability any further.","PeriodicalId":46454,"journal":{"name":"Survey Research Methods","volume":"15 1","pages":"135-146"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2021-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43192782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper aims to assess the first ever attempt to do this cross-nationally using an input harmonised approach representing a major innovation in cross-national survey methodology. The European Social Survey established a panel using the face-to-face interview as the basis for recruitment to the panel. This experiment was conducted in Estonia, Slovenia and Great Britain using an input harmonised approach to the design throughout something never done before across multiple countries simultaneously. \u0000The paper outlines how the experiment was conducted. It then moves on to compare the web panel respondents to the ESS achieved face-to-face sample in each country, as well as comparing the web panel achieved sample to external benchmarks. Most importantly, since the literature is very scarce, the differences in attitudinal and behavioural characteristics are also assessed. By comparing the answers of the total achieved sample in the ESS to the subset who also answered the CRONOS web panel we assess changes in representativeness and substantive answers without confounding the findings with other changes such as mode effects. This approach is only possible where ‘piggybacking’ recruitment has been used. This in itself is rare at the national level but this is the first time survey methodologists have employed this cross-nationally allowing such an analytical approach. Our findings suggest that the CRONOS sample is not too divergent from the target population and to the ESS with the exception of the oldest age groups. However, there are cross-national differences suggesting cross-national comparability might be different when compared to estimates from a face-to-face survey.","PeriodicalId":46454,"journal":{"name":"Survey Research Methods","volume":"15 1","pages":"115-133"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2021-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46476824","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study adopts a novel approach and investigates the position of the gender role attitudes scale in the questionnaire as a potential source of bias. In particular, the present study aims at assessing the context effect of the family norms question on the measurement of gender role attitudes by adopting the theoretical perspective of the construal model of attitudes, according to which the adjacent questions constitute the context for interpreting and answering a stimulus. The study employs data from the CROss-National Online Survey panel, which was fielded in 2017 and contained an experiment where the order of the questions under investigation varied. The reliability, validity and invariance of the measurement of gender role attitudes across experimental settings and countries (Estonia, Great Britain and Slovenia) are explored adopting several analytical techniques, such as regression models and multiple-group confirmatory factor analysis. Differences between experimental settings emerged, suggesting that the questionnaire context matters for the validity and stability of the gender role attitudes items; however, the lack of patterns hinders general conclusions on what is the order of questions yielding better measurement of the gender role attitudes scale. Clear differences among the countries indicate that the cultural context may interact with the question context. Finally, we stress that the measurement is overall poor, urging to find a better formulation of the items measuring gender role attitudes.","PeriodicalId":46454,"journal":{"name":"Survey Research Methods","volume":"15 1","pages":"43-64"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2021-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42544899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This problem has been made more pressing by the transition of many surveys to online interviewing, opening up the possibility of looking up the correct answers on the internet. Several methods have been proposed to deal with cheating ex-ante, including self-reports of cheating, control for internet browsing, or time limits. Against this background, “response times” (RTs, i.e., the time taken by respondents to answer a survey question) suggest themselves as a post-hoc, unobtrusive means of detecting cheating. In this paper, I propose a procedure for measuring individual-specific and item-specific RTs, which are then used to identify unusually long but correct answers to knowledge questions as potential cases of cheating. I apply this procedure to the post-electoral survey for the 2015 Swiss national elections. My analysis suggests that extremely slow responses to two out of four questions are definitely suspicious. Accordingly, I propose a method for “correcting” individual knowledge scores and examine its convergent and predictive validity. Based on the finding that a simple revised scale of political knowledge has greater validity than the original additive scale, I conclude that the problem of cheating can be alleviated by using the RT method, which is again summarized in the conclusion to ensure its applicability in empirical research.","PeriodicalId":46454,"journal":{"name":"Survey Research Methods","volume":"15 1","pages":"79-100"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2021-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48109137","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
