Q

Self-administered questionnaires

A

Questionnaires filled out by respondents with no interviewer present

18
Q

Advantages of self-administered questionnaires

A
  1. No one present cant benefit data because it eliminates source of bias
  2. Used when researcher has access to a captive audience
19
Q

Disadvantages of self-administered questionnaires

A

No one is present to explain things

20
Q

Type of mail surveys

A
  1. Ad-hoc mail surveys

2. Mail panels

21
Q

Ad-hoc mail surveys

A

Questionnaires sent to selected names and addresses without prior contact by the researcher, sometimes called one-shot mail surveys

22
Q

Mail panels

A

Pre-contacted and pre-screened participants who are periodically sent questionnaires

23
Q

Advantages of mail panels

A
  1. No interviewers to recruit, train, monitor, and pay
  2. Study can be sent out and administered from a single location
  3. Hard-to-reach respondents can be surveyed
  4. Convenient, efficient, and inexpensive
24
Q

Disadvantages of mail panels

A
  1. No one there to probe responses to open-ended questions
  2. Number of questions and quantity of obtainable information is more limited in mail surveys than in surveys involving interviewers
25
Q

Two category errors

A
  1. Sampling/random error

2. Systematic/human/bias error

26
Q

Random error

A

An error that results from chance variation, the difference between the sample value and the true value of the population mean

27
Q

Systematic error

A

Error that results from problems or flaws in the execution of the research design, sometimes called non-sampling error

28
Q

Types of sample design error

A
  1. Frame error
  2. Population specification error
  3. Selection error
29
Q

Types of measurement error

A
  1. Surrogate information error
  2. Interviewer error
  3. Measurement instrument bias
  4. Processing error
  5. Non-response bias
  6. Response bias
30
Q

Sample design error

A

A systematic error that results from an error in the sample design or sampling procedures

31
Q

Measurement error

A

A systematic error that results from a variation between the information being sought and what is actually obtained by the measurement process

32
Q

Frame error

A

The error resulting from an inaccurate or incomplete sampling frame

33
Q

Population specification error

A

An error that results from incorrectly defining the population or universe from which a sample is chosen

34
Q

Selection error

A

An error that results from incomplete or improper sample selection procedures or not following appropriate procedures

35
Q

Surrogate information error

A

An error that results from a discrepancy between the information needed to solve a problem and that sought by the researcher

36
Q

Interviewer error/bias

A

An error that results from interviewers influencing - consciously or unconsciously - the answers of the respondent (caused by selection and/or training of interviewer)

37
Q

Measurement instrument bias

A

An error that results from the design of the questionnaire or measurement instrument, also known as questionnaire bias

38
Q

Processing error

A

An error that results from the incorrect transfer of information from a survey document to a computer

39
Q

Non-response bias

A

An error that results from a systematic difference between those who do and those who do not respond to a measurement instrument (the higher the response rate, the less possible the impact of non-response bias)

40
Q

Refusal rate

A

The percentage of people contact who refused to participate in a survey

41
Q

Response bias

A

An error that results from the tendency of people to answer a question in a certain way through either deliberate falsification or unconscious misrepresentation
