Don A. Dillman (Washington State University)
The Causes of Survey Mode Differences
and Their Implications for Survey Design
This paper discussed three main issues important to interpreting data from either multi-mode surveys or in comparing data from surveys that use different modes of data collection. Five modes were discussed: face-to-face, telephone, interactive voice response (IVR), mail and the Internet. The paper first showed data that supported the hypothesis that different modes of data collection could produce different answers. Secondly, the reasons behind these differences were identified. Finally, suggestions were made to reduce or eliminate these differences.
