Abstract

A laboratory-based experimental method is used to study influences on survey participation. The experiment tested specific hypotheses concerning the combined effects of person-level attributes and survey design features on cooperation with a survey request. The laboratory protocol presented subjects with videotaped vignettes portraying interviewer persuasion attempts, and then elicited their reactions to them.
