Title: | A Method to Evaluate Mode Effects on the Mean and Variance of a Continuous Variable in Mixed-Mode Surveys | Authors: | Vannieuwenhuyze, Jorre T. A. Loosveldt, Geert MOLENBERGHS, Geert |
Issue Date: | 2012 | Publisher: | WILEY-BLACKWELL | Source: | INTERNATIONAL STATISTICAL REVIEW, 80 (2), p. 306-322 | Abstract: | Mixed-mode surveys, in which different respondents complete the survey by different modes, become increasingly popular. That said, such surveys may lead to a confounding of two forms of mode effects, i.e., selection effects and measurement effects. Exclusive focus on mixed-mode data almost precludes disentangling both effects. In this paper, we show how this problem can be circumvented merely by comparing mixed-mode data with a comparable single-mode sample. The proposed method allows estimating the mode effects on the mean and variance of a continuous variable. As an illustration, the authors estimate mode effects on six items on opinions about surveys. | Notes: | [Vannieuwenhuyze, Jorre T.
