Question 4

TELEPHONE
PROS
*Sample control: efficiency - telephone ownership (landline, cell or VOIP) is almost universal, there are no geographical restrictions.
Sample control: sample frames - RDD (Random Digit Dialing) including mobile phone numbers makes frame errors potentially close to zero.
Field force control - interviewers can be supervised and monitored in real time.
Speed - large number of interviewers employed on a project can complete reasonably large samples relatively quickly.
Sensitive information - interview is reasonably anonymous and perception is that nothing is being committed to over the phone.
Low incidence rate - large numbers of screening calls can be made with reasonable efficiently and at relatively low cost.

Question 5

TELEPHONE
CON
Diversity of questions/flexibility - restricted by participant’s ability to remember the answer choices or do the task. Ranking exercises and ‘single choice from many’ are impossible.
Physical stimuli - cannot be used except in a multi-stage project (recruit – mail out – recall).
Quantity of data - participant can break off the survey relatively easily; telephone interviews require concentration and are tiring, therefore data quality will deteriorate with long interviews due to satisficing.
Response rate - is becoming a problem due to sugging and frugging by non-research organizations and increased screening of calls via caller ID.
Participant control - the interviewer dictates the pace and the timing (at least of the initial contact).

Question 7

Telephone is well suited to B2B interviewing, since it is a natural medium for most business target audiences. Often, however, the biggest challenge in B2B is finding the correct person to interview within the organization. This is more easily done by telephone than by other methods.

Question 8

Ethical Considerations
Abiding by any local ethical guidelines, interviewers need to be prepared and able to tell participants where their telephone number has been obtained, the nature and purpose of the research, and in some cases be able to point the participant to a third party who will be able to confirm the legitimacy of the research company.

Efficiency: Can the above two factors be mitigated by greater efficiency—the ease with which
qualifying participants can be found?

Question 20

Response Rate The majority of non-response in interviewed methods is made up of refusal and ‘not-at-
home’. Refusal can be reduced by actions taken by an interviewer (persuasion and follow-up/re-
contact). Not-at-home is reduced by repeated contacts at different times and days. In non-
interviewed methods the reasons for non-refusal are merely conjecture, non-response is reduced
through use of reminders
