Optimal Call Scheduling for a Telephone Survey
Contacting a suitable respondent at home and securing the interview is a significant component of the typical household telephone survey. An optimal calling schedule minimizes the number of callbacks required and thus conserves resources. This article presents an analysis of time-of-day and day-of-week effects on the probabilities of obtaining an answered outcome and an interviewed outcome in a large national telephone survey of adult males. The …
Personal versus telephone surveys for collecting household health data at the local level
Personal and telephone interview surveys were conducted simultaneously during 1981 in the same area (four counties in the area of Tampa Bay, Florida) and utilizing the same interview schedule. Following completion of the surveys, validity checks were made with the medical providers reported by a subsample of respondents to each mode. The telephone survey yielded a lower response rate but cost less than half the personal interview. There was some …

Recent methodological criticisms of longitudinal studies employing a panel design suggest that greater care is needed in determining what can and cannot be studied best using that approach, and where other diachronic approaches may be as appropriate or more appropriate. In this paper a few of the key strengths and weaknesses of panel studies relative to one alternative approach—a sequence of cross‐sectional surveys on samples from the same popula…
Secondary Analysis of a Longitudinal Survey of Educated Women

A Longitudinal Study of Adolescents' Attitude-Behavior Consistency
The attitudes and self-reported behaviors of outgoingness toward other people among a group of over 100 male adolescents were measured each semester for the last five semesters of high school. Cross-lagged panel correlation differences show a tendency (seven of nine times) for attitudes to be nonspuriously antecedent to behaviors. During the first three semesters different observational composites of behaviors correlated positively with the self-…

Low adolescent self-esteem leads to multiple interpersonal problems
This article reports the results of a study that annually monitored the self-esteem and interpersonal problems of over 100 boys during their sophomore, junior, and senior years of high school. Cross-lagged panel correlation differences show that low self-esteem leads to interpersonal problems in all three time lags when multiple interpersonal problems constitute the dependent variable but not when single interpersonal problem criteria constitute …
