  • How Training Affects Interviewer Performance Over Time

    Open AccessHanyu Sun, Angie Kistler et al.ARTICLECAM2024References: 14

    There is abundant literature about interviewer effects on the survey process, but studies of interviewer training are quite limited. Previous research has produced mixed findings on how training affects interviewer performance. Trainings are often conducted in person despite the mixed findings. There has been no research that examines the use of videoconferencing as a medium for training field survey interviewers. We conducted an interviewer trai…

  • The Effects of Prompt Interventions on Web Survey Response Rate and Data Quality Measures

    Open AccessHanyu Sun, Andrew Caporaso et al.ARTICLECAM2023Cited by: 1References: 6

    Previous survey research has found that prompt interventions for speeding and straightlining were effective at reducing these undesirable response behaviors in web surveys. However, the effects of prompt interventions on data quality measures are mixed, and it is unclear how prompt interventions affect key survey estimates. We conducted an experiment on prompt interventions using the National Cancer Institute’s 2019 Health Information National Tr…

  • Nonverbal Behavior in Face-to-face Survey Interviews

    Open AccessB Foucault Welles, Hanyu Sun et al.ARTICLECAM2022Cited by: 1References: 21

    We examine relationships between interviewers' nonverbal behaviors and adequate responding in face-to-face survey interviews. We videotaped professional interviewers administering face-to-face survey interviews and coded them for three interviewer nonverbal behaviors: smiling, nodding, and direct gaze. These nonverbal interviewer behaviors were associated with significant increases in the frequency of respondents' adequate responses. Moreover, th…

  • What Works, What Doesn’t? Three Studies Designed to Improve Survey Response

    Open AccessHanyu Sun, Jocelyn Newsome et al.ARTICLECAM2020Cited by: 2References: 30

    Over the past few decades, the survey industry has experienced a steady decline in response rates, which has posed numerous challenges for researchers, most notably concerns about nonresponse bias. We present results from three studies conducted in an attempt to increase response rates and reduce nonresponse bias for a U.S. national household survey. We examined design features related to mode (i.e., mail-only vs. web-push), incentive, reminder t…

  • Web Surveys by Smartphones and Tablets

    Open AccessRoger Tourangeau, Hanyu Sun et al.ARTICLESocial Science Computer Review2017Cited by: 4References: 4

    Does completing a web survey on a smartphone or tablet computer reduce the quality of the data obtained compared to completing the survey on a laptop computer? This is an important question, since a growing proportion of web surveys are done on smartphones and tablets. Several earlier studies have attempted to gauge the effects of the switch from personal computers to mobile devices on data quality. We carried out a field experiment in eight coun…

  • Web Surveys by Smartphone and Tablets

    Roger Tourangeau, Aaron Maitland et al.ARTICLEPublic Opinion Quarterly2017Cited by: 5References: 14

    With respondents increasingly completing web surveys on tablet computers and smartphones, several studies have examined the potential effects of the switch from PCs to mobile devices. The studies have looked at a range of outcomes, including completion rates, breakoffs, and item nonresponse. We carried out a field experiment that compared responses obtained by smartphones, tablets, and laptop computers, focusing on the potential effects of the di…

  • Examples in Open-Ended Survey Questions

    Roger Tourangeau, Hanyu Sun et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Public…2016Cited by: 1References: 5

    We conducted three experiments investigating how examples affect open-ended responses. Our objective was to determine whether examples can guide the reporting component of the response process. Prior work has focused on how examples affect comprehension and retrieval. The first experiment examined reports about ethnicity. Giving “African-Am.” as an example had the most dramatic effect, sharply increasing the proportion of respondents who reported…
