Can Non-full-probability Internet Surveys Yield Useful Data? A Comparison with Full-probability Face-to-face Surveys in the Domain of Race and Social Inequality Attitudes (2015, background): “In addition, Kreuter, Presser, and Tourangeau (2008) surveyed university alumni via the web, telephone, or interactive voice recognition about desirable (e.g., GPA > 3.5; received honors) and undesirable characteristics (e.g., GPA < 2.5; received a D or F).”
Deepfakes and Disinformation: Exploring the Impact of Synthetic Political Video on Deception, Uncertainty, and Trust in News (2020, methodology): “Also, because we used a self-administered online questionnaire, responses were less affected by social desirability biases (Kreuter et al., 2008).”
Online, face-to-face and telephone surveys—Comparing different sampling methods in wine consumer research (2013, background): “In a study conducted by Kreuter et al. (2008), it was reported that Internet-based surveys increased reporting on sensitive information compared to computer-assisted telephone interviews (CATI).”
Inaccurate Estimation of Disparities Due to Mischievous Responders (2014, background): “For further reading, see Glynn (2013), Kreuter, Presser, and Tourangeau (2008), Tourangeau and Yan (2007), and Wolter and Preisendörfer (2013).”
Does Extreme Political Ideology Predict Conspiracy Beliefs, Economic Evaluations and Political Trust? Evidence From Sweden (2017, positive): “…benefit is that computerized self-administration reduces measurement error relative to other modes of data collection, increasing both the level of reporting and the report accuracy of opinions and attitudes compared to more “conventional” surveys (Kreuter et al., 2008; Sakshaug et al., 2010).”
Using Internet in Stated Preference Surveys: A Review and Comparison of Survey Modes (2011, neutral): “In five recent papers, Internet was found to give lower degree of socially desirable responding compared to telephone interviewing (Kreuter et al., 2008; Chang and Krosnick, 2009, 2010; Holbrook and Krosnick, 2010) and f2f interviews (Heerwegh, 2009).”
The (Re)genesis of Values (2015, background): “However, research suggests that despite substantial misreporting for these types of behaviors, overall accuracy rates for self-reported data remain high: accuracy rates in one study ranged from 73 to 95 percent, with a mean of 90 percent (Kreuter et al. 2008).”
Assessing the Magnitude of Non-Consent Biases in Linked Survey and Administrative Data (2012, methodology): “…administrative records have been used for the purpose of validating survey responses under the assumption that the records data are error-free and/or a suitable ‘gold standard’ against which survey responses can be compared (Davern et al. 2008; Kreuter et al. 2008, 2010; Sakshaug et al. 2010a).”
