Check out and contribute to the literature review of response scale characteristics.
At the General Online Research 2020, Hannah Schwarz presented,
- Do previous survey experience and being motivated to participate by an incentive affect response quality? Evidence from the CRONOS panel, with Melanie Revilla and Bella Struminskaya.
- What is the measurement quality of questions on environmental attitudes and supernatural beliefs in the GESIS Panel? Long or fully labelled? Measurement Quality and Response scale characteristics, a poster with Wiebke Weber, Isabella Minderop and Bernd Weiß. See the virtual poster presentation here: https://youtu.be/JhJxl1Kg3t8. And for an update see here.
Wiebke Weber and Jorge Cimentada, presented tools for correction for measurement and sampling errors at the ESRA conference, 15-19 July 2019. See the poster.
