Wuyts, Celine; Loosveldt, Geert – Field Methods, 2017
Previous research shows that interviewers to some extent fail to expend the effort that is needed to collect high-quality survey data. We extend the idea of interviewer satisficing to a related task, in which the interviewers themselves answer survey questions. We hypothesize that interviewers who self-administer the questionnaire in a careless…

Cimpian, Joseph R.; Timmer, Jennifer D. – AERA Open, 2019
Although numerous survey-based studies have found that students who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or questioning (LGBQ) have elevated risk for many negative academic, disciplinary, psychological, and health outcomes, the validity of the types of data on which these results rest have come under increased scrutiny.

Stapleton, Laura M.; Reiner, Laura S.; Aluvathingal, Anu J. – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2010
This proposed research is part of an on-going line of research of developing questionnaire instruments for use at the elementary school level.

Mason, Greg – Canadian Journal of Program Evaluation/La Revue canadienne d'evaluation de programme, 1996
This article reviews issues in questionnaire design beyond the creation of standardized questions and basic data collection rules. The use of magnitude scales, the application of decision theory, and the use of a questionnaire framework that replicates how choices are made by respondents are among the new design approaches discussed.

Goodell, John S.
Questionnaires are important research tools despite their unpopularity. They are generally less costly per response than other techniques, may elicit more candid answers, provide more time for respondents to consider their replies, and do not introduce interviewer or observer bias. The rate of return is an indication of the usefulness of a…

Senf, Janet H. – Evaluation Review, 1987
Reasons for not returning a questionnaire were studied among Lutheran church members sent a postcard to indicate no intention of replying. The analysis is based on 431 returned postcards. For most nonresponders, the interest value of the questionnaire topic was not high enough. Many who returned the negative reply card would be resistant…

Adams, L. La Mar; Gale, Darwin – Research in Higher Education, 1982
Questionnaire return rates were examined under these conditions: (1) a large random sample; (2) no follow-up procedures; (3) same mailout procedures and instructions; (4) no incentives; (5) type of questionnaire; (6) appropriate lengths; and (7) daily tally of returns. A difference in the rate of return was found. (Author/MLW)
