Intercept Interviews in Mall

Telephone Interviewing Mainstay of commercial survey research. Data quality comparable to personal interviewing. Respondents may more willing to give their opinions on phone. TS can provide representative samples of general pop in industrialized countries.

Central Location Interviewing Conduct all interviewing from central location. Wide-Area Telecommunication Service (WATS) lines provided by long distance service at fixed rates, unlimited calls. Hire professional interviewers Supervise and control the quality of interviewing. Research cost-effective.

Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI) Responses to be entered directly to computer. Telephone interviewers seated at computer terminals. Monitor displays the questionnaire – one question at a time, pre-coded responses. Interviewer enters the responses in computer Programming facilitates interviewing.

The Strengths of Telephone Interviewing

1. High Speed 2. Saves Cost Quickly reach the respondents. With CATI quick data processing. 2. Saves Cost Cost of telephone interviewing is less than 25% of the door to door personal interviews.

3. Callbacks Easier Unanswered calls, busy signal, respondent not at home needs callback. Telephone callbacks are substantially easier and less expensive than personal interviews.

4. Expanded Geographic Area Coverage without increasing the cost. 5. Uses fewer but highly skilled Interviewers. 6. Reduced Interviewer Bias

7. Better Access to hard-to-reach respondents Some people don’t want to go for person to person interviewing. Prefer telephone interviewing. Interviewers may be reluctant to visit certain neighborhoods, especially in the evening. Telephone interviewing overcomes such problems

8. Use Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing Responses can be directly entered into computer file to reduce error and cost

Weaknesses of Telephone Interviewing

1. Absence of Face-to- Face Contact More impersonal than face-to-face interviews. Absence of face-to-face contact may be a liability. Respondent and the interviewer don’t see each other what they are doing. (Respondent still responding when he/she is thinking and not speaking. Has the interviewer finished recording)

Response rate lower than for Personal Interviews Some individuals refuse to participate. (Executives easily refuse. Participants find it easier to terminate). 3. Lack of Visual Medium Research requiring visual material cannot be conducted by phone.

Many Numbers Unlisted or not Working 4. Limited Duration Length of interview limited. Respondent may hang up when they feel spent up. (Plan telephone interviews approximately for 10 minutes) Many Numbers Unlisted or not Working Can affect the sampling design.

6. Less Participant involvement Result In less thorough responses. Respondents’ experiences less rewarding than a personal interview. Rapport building deficient. 7. Distracting Physical Environment Distractions on the side of the respondent.

Self Administered Questionnaires Ubiquitous in modern living. Mail questionnaires + other modes

Advantages of Mail Questionnaire Geographic Flexibility: Reach all corners of the country/world. Sample Accessibility: Contact those who may inaccessible. Save Time Saves Cost Respondent Convenience Anonymity Standardized Questions

Disadvantages of Mail Questionnaire 1. Low Response Rate 2. Low Completion Rate 3. Increases Cost 4. Interviewer’s Absence 5. No Control on Question Order 6. Cannot use Lengthy Questionnaire 7. No Control Over Environment 8. Cannot catch the non-verbal behavior 9. Non-Literates cannot Participate

Increasing Response Rate Cover Letter Money Helps Interesting Questions Follow-Ups Preliminary Notification Survey Sponsorship Other Techniques: Questionnaire format, facilitating the return, postage, personalization.
