  • Use of Administrative Records in Evidence-Based Policymaking

    Open Access•Robert M Groves, George J Schoeffel•ARTICLE•The Annals of the American…•2018•Cited by: 3•References: 8

    Record systems used to administer programs often contain information useful for evaluating the effectiveness of a program. Administrative records are most often designed to facilitate processes key to the mission of the program. Data structures, quality assurance, quality control, and updating processes are generally defined by the needs of the program. Statistical uses of administrative data, common to evaluation studies, face a predictable set …

  • Support for the Survey Sponsor and Nonresponse Bias

    Robert M Groves, Stanley Presser et al.•ARTICLE•Public Opinion Quarterly•2012•Cited by: 9•References: 7

    In an experiment designed to examine nonresponse bias, either the March of Dimes or the University of Michigan was identified as the sponsor of a survey mailed to individuals whose level of support for the March of Dimes was known. The response rate was higher to the university survey, but support for the March of Dimes increased survey participation to the same extent in both conditions. As a result of the overrepresentation of supporters of the…

  • Responsive Survey Design, Demographic Data Collection, and Models of Demographic Behavior

    Open Access•William G Axinn, Cynthia F Link et al.•ARTICLE•Demography•2011•Cited by: 6•References: 24

    To address declining response rates and rising data-collection costs, survey methodologists have devised new techniques for using process data (“paradata”) to address nonresponse by altering the survey design dynamically during data collection. We investigate the substantive consequences of responsive survey design—tools that use paradata to improve the representative qualities of surveys and control costs. By improving representation of reluctan…

  • Three Eras of Survey Research

    Robert M Groves•ARTICLE•Public Opinion Quarterly•2011•Cited by: 86•References: 8

    Although survey research is a young field relative to many scientific domains, it has already experienced three distinct stages of development. In the first era (1930–1960), the founders of the field invented the basic components of the design of data collection and the tools to produce the statistical information from surveys. As they were inventing the method, they were also building the institutions that conduct surveys in the private, academi…

  • The Structure and Activities of the U.S. Federal Statistical System

    Open Access•Robert M Groves•ARTICLE•The Annals of the American…•2010•References: 3

    This article examines the statistical system of the United States—featuring fourteen principal statistical agencies and sixty to seventy units in other federal agencies— focusing on the system’s highly decentralized nature and the ways in which the agencies attempt to evaluate the status of issues relevant to the mission of their departments and to provide information helpful in the creation of new policy. The history and challenges of the variou…

  • Effects of Interviewer Attitudes and Behaviors on Refusal in Household Surveys

    Gabriele B Durrant, Robert M Groves et al.•ARTICLE•Public Opinion Quarterly•2010•Cited by: 40•References: 21

    Interviewers play a crucial role in gaining cooperation from a sample unit. This paper aims to identify the interviewer characteristics that influence survey cooperation. Of principal interest to survey practitioners are interviewer attributes associated with higher cooperation rates, particularly among sample members whose characteristics are traditionally associated with a lower probability of response. Our data source is unusually rich, in tha…

  • Total Survey Error

    Robert M Groves, Lars Lyberg•ARTICLE•Public Opinion Quarterly•2010•Cited by: 109•References: 21

    Total survey error” is a conceptual framework describing statistical error properties of sample survey statistics. Early in the history of sample surveys, it arose as a tool to focus on implications of various gaps between the conditions under which probability samples yielded unbiased estimates of finite population parameters and practical situations in implementing survey design. While the framework permits design-based estimates of various err…

  • Responsive Design for Household Surveys

    Open Access•Robert M Groves, Steven G Heeringa•ARTICLE•Journal of the Royal Statistical…•2006

    Over the past few years surveys have expanded to new populations, have incorporated measurement of new and more complex substantive issues and have adopted new data collection tools. At the same time there has been a growing reluctance among many household populations to participate in surveys. These factors have combined to present survey designers and survey researchers with increased uncertainty about the performance of any given survey design…

  • Experiments in Producing Nonresponse Bias

    Robert M Groves, Mick P Couper et al.•ARTICLE•Public Opinion Quarterly•2006•Cited by: 56•References: 6

    While nonresponse rates in household surveys are increasing in most industrialized nations, the increasing rates do not always produce nonresponse bias in survey estimates. The linkage between nonresponse rates and nonresponse bias arises from the presence of a covariance between response propensity and the survey variables of interest. To understand the covariance term, researchers must think about the common influences on response propensity an…

  • The Role of Topic Interest in Survey Participation Decisions

    Robert M Groves, Stanley Presser et al.•ARTICLE•Public Opinion Quarterly•2004•Cited by: 136•References: 5

    While a low survey response rate may indicate that the risk of nonresponse error is high, we know little about when nonresponse causes such error and when nonresponse is ignorable. Leverage-salience theory of survey participation suggests that when the survey topic is a factor in the decision to participate, noncooperation will cause nonresponse error. We test three hypotheses derived from the theory: (1) those faced with a survey request on a to…

  • Understanding The Decision to Participate in a Survey

    Robert M Groves, Robert B Cialdini et al.•ARTICLE•Public Opinion Quarterly•1992•Cited by: 163•References: 15

    The lack of full participation in sample surveys threatens the inferential value of the survey method. We review a set of conceptual developments and experimental findings that appear to be informative about causes of survey participation; offer an integration of that work with findings from the more traditional statistical and survey methodological literature on nonresponse; and, given the theoretical structure, deduce potentially promising path…
