  • Computer Assisted Self-Interviewing Tailored for Special Populations and Topics
    Computer Assisted Self-Interviewing 1 Edith D. de Leeuw, Joop J. Hox, & Sabina Kef (2003). Computer-assisted self-interviewing tailored for special populations and topics. A later version appeared in Field Methods, 15, 223-251. Computer Assisted Self-Interviewing Tailored for Special Populations and Topics Edith de Leeuw Methodika, Amsterdam Joop Hox Utrecht University Sabina Kef1 University of Amsterdam Abstract: Self-administered questionnaires have many advantages, especially when sensitive questions are asked. However, paper self-administered questionnaires have a serious drawback: only relatively simple questionnaires can be used. Computer Assisted Self-Interviewing (CASI) can overcome these problems, and make it possible to use very complex self-administered questionnaires. CASI can take several forms, for instance, it can be a part of a personal (CAPI) interview where the interviewer hands over the computer to the respondent for specific questions. Another form is a computerized version of the mail survey: Disk-by-Mail. We have used both forms in an application for very special populations (primary school children, visually impaired young adults, and parents and children from multi problem families, in which professional guidance for the family was sought). This paper provides an introduction to computer assisted self-interviewing (CASI) and reviews the advantages and disadvantages of CASI with special attention to data quality. We discus the advantages of CASI when investigating special groups and topics and provide general advice on how to tailor standard CASI procedures for surveys of special groups. Key words: sensitive questions, special groups, disk by mail, self-administered questionnaire, self-interviewing , CASI, ACASI 1 The authors thank Marion van Hattum of the Netherlands Institute for Care and Welfare (NIZW) for her enthusiastic assistance during the data collection and for her comments on earlier drafts.

  • Surveying Children: Cognitive Development and Response Quality in Questionnaire Research
    Bulletin de Méthodologie Sociologique (59 rue Pouchet, F 75017 Paris), April 2000, N. 66, pp. 60-75 Children as Respondents in Survey Research: Cognitive Development and Response Quality.1 by Natacha Borgers (University of Amsterdam, Faculty of Educational Sciences: [email protected]) Edith de Leeuw (MethodikA, Amsterdam, Netherlands: [email protected]) Joop Hox (Utrecht University, Utrecht, Netherlands: [email protected] Résumé: Les enfants comme répondants dans les enquêtes – Développement cognitiv et qualité des réponses. Quoique les enfants ne sont plus une population négligé des statistiques officièlles et des enquêtes, des études méethodologiques sur des enquêtes d’enfants sont rares. Les chercheirs doivent se baser sur les connaisances ad hoc venant des domaines aussi divers que la psychiatrie enfantine et les test d’éducation, ou extrapoler à partir de la connaisance méthodologique associée aux enquêtes auprès d’adultes. Dans cet article, les auteurs passant en revu la littérature scientifique disponible sur les enfants comme répondants, et présentent les résultats préliminaires d’une analyse secondaire de l’influence du développement cognitif sur la qualité des réponses. Enfin, il y a des recommandations concernants les enquêtes des enfants. Enfants, Développement cognitif, Qualité des données, Questionnaires, Entretiens. Abstract. Although children are no longer a neglected minority in official statistics and surveys, methodological knowledge on how to survey children is still scarce. Researchers have to rely mainly on ad-hoc knowledge from such diverse fields as child psychiatry and educational testing, or extrapolate from methodological knowledge on how to survey adults. In this article we review the available literature on children as respondents, and present the first results of a secondary analysis on the influence of cognitive development on response quality.

    INTERVIEWER EFFECTS ON NONRESPONSE IN THE EUROPEAN SOCIAL SURVEY Annelies G. Blom, Edith D. de Leeuw, Joop J. Hox 202-2010 Interviewer Effects on Nonresponse in the European Social Survey Annelies G. Blom1, Edith D. de Leeuw and Joop J. Hox2 Abstract In face-to-face surveys interviewers play a crucial role in making contact with and gaining cooperation from sample units. While some analyses investigate the influence of interviewers on nonresponse, they are typically restricted to single-country studies. However, interviewer training, contacting and cooperation strategies as well as survey climates may differ across countries. Combining call-record data from the European Social Survey (ESS) with data from a detailed interviewer questionnaire on attitudes and doorstep behavior we find systematic country differences in nonresponse processes, which can in part be explained by differences in interviewer characteristics, such as contacting strategies and avowed doorstep behavior. Keywords: Contact, cooperation, interviewer attitudes, doorstep behavior, interviewer questionnaire, paradata, contact data, cross-cultural research, international surveys.
