Study Notes

Types of Surveys

  • Door-to-Door Interviews: in-person interviews
  • Executive Interviews: interviews with high-level officials or executives
  • Mail-Intercept Interviews: combines mail surveys with in-person interviews
  • Telephone Interviews: interviews conducted over the phone
  • Cell Phone Interviews: interviews conducted via cell phone
  • Central-Location Telephone Interviews: interviews conducted at a central location
  • Computer-Assisted Telephone Interviews: uses software to aid interview process
  • Self-Administered Mail Surveys: respondents complete surveys on their own
  • Online Surveys: surveys conducted online
    • Pros: cost-effective, fast, manageable, and offers personalization and analytics
    • Cons: potential lack of validation, sample frame/control issues, and tone/engagement concerns

Survey Categories

  • Cross-Sectional Surveys: one-time snapshots of a population
    • Uses same survey and different sample
    • Easier and quicker to perform
  • Longitudinal Surveys: identifies market trends
    • Uses same survey and same sample over time
    • Uses tracking panels and groups, but is time and resource consuming

Determinants of Survey Method

  • Sampling precision
  • Budget
  • Requirements for respondent reactions
  • Quality of data desired/required
  • Desired questionnaire length
  • Incidence rates (measure of frequency)
  • Questionnaire structure
  • Time available to complete the survey

Errors in Survey Research

  • Random Error: unpredictable errors
  • Systematic Error: errors due to methodological issues
    • Sample design error
    • Frame error
    • Population specification error
    • Selection error
    • Measurement error
    • Surrogate information error
    • Interviewer error
    • Measurement instrument bias
    • Processing error
    • Non-response bias
    • Response bias
