Completing web surveys on mobile devices: Does screen size affect data quality?

Wenz, Alexander - 2017

Using data from a non-mobile-optimised survey in the UK, this paper compares the quality of survey data from mobile devices with different screen size. The findings suggest that data quality mainly differs between small smartphones with a diagonal screen size of below four inches and larger...

Intergenerational wealth transmission in Great Britain

Gregg, Paul; Kanabar, Ricky - 2021

We document the intergenerational persistence of wealth between adult offspring and their parent's using the Wealth and … Assets Survey for Great Britain. We estimate an intergenerational wealth elasticity of 0.4 and rank-rank elasticity of 0 ….3 and find wealth persistence for individuals in their 60s is lower than for those currently aged in their 30s and early 40s …

Estimation of mode effects in the Health and Retirement Study using measurement models

Cernat, Alexandru; Couper, Mick P.; Ofstedal, Mary Beth - 2015

Using multiple modes to collect data is becoming a standard practice in survey agencies. While this should save costs and decrease non-response error it may have detrimental effects on measurement quality. This can happen because different modes have distinct measurement biases which, when...

The impact of mixing modes on reliability in longitudinal studies

Cernat, Alexandru - 2013

Mixed mode designs are increasingly important in surveys and large longitudinal studies are progressively moving to or considering such a design. In this context our knowledge regarding the impact of mixing modes on data quality indicators in longitudinal studies is sparse. This study tries to...

Real-world eye-tracking in face-to-face, web and SAQ modes

Kaminska, Olena; Foulsham, Tom - 2013

Eye-tracking is becoming a popular testing tool to understand how different forms of asking questions influence respondents' answers. Until now, due to the ease of eye-tracking on PC, this method has almost exclusively been used to test questions in web/PC mode. Our paper extends the application...
