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
