Consequences of Reducing Nonresponse in a National Telephone Survey
Critics of public opinion polls often claim that methodological shortcuts taken to collect timely data produce biased results. This study compares two random digit dial national telephone surveys that used identical questionnaires but very different levels of effort: a "Standard" survey conducted over a 5-day period that used a sample of adults who were home when the interviewer called, and a "Rigorous" survey conducted over an 8-week period that…

Examples include rescue of Jews during the Holocaust, whistle-blowing, and protests leading to imprisonment or physical harm. Courageous resistance is a subset of altruistic behavior, an…
