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...

Our paper provides an empirical study of whether satisficing is related to social desirability bias using real-world eye-tracking. The method enables detecting latency of eye gazes in web, face-to-face and paper and pencil self-administered (SAQ) modes. Through these we infer respondents'...

In multi-national surveys different countries usually implement different sample designs. When making estimates of differences between countries, analysts often fail to take sample design appropriately into account. This failure is sometimes because variables indicating stratification,...

We assess whether the probability of a sample member participating at a particular wave of a panel survey is greater if the same interviewer is deployed as at the previous wave. Previous research on this topic mainly uses non-experimental data. Consequently, a) interviewer change is generally...

The EU's Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC), launched in 2003, was the first micro-level data set to provide comprehensive data on incomes and other social and economic domains over the enlarged EU. This paper draws on two programmes of research to ask how well the EU-SILC has...

Mobile phone survey interviewing is becoming increasingly prevalent, so it is important to understand how it affects measurement error. We link cognitive response process theory (Tourangeau et al 2000) to theories of mode effects to build a comprehensive framework that identifies ways in which...
