- Validation: What Big Data Reveal About Survey Misreporting and the Real Electorate (2012, background): “Likewise, Belli, Traugott, and Beckmann (2001) argue that over-reporters are those who are similar to true voters in their attitudes regarding the political process.4 This argument is consistent with the finding that over-reporters seem to look similar to validated voters (Sigelman 1982).”
- Mixed mode designs: finding the balance between nonresponse bias and mode effects (2005, methodology): “…369 been used to validate the reported voter turnout, for example in election studies in Sweden (Andersson and Granberg 1997; Granberg and Holmberg 1991), the United Kingdom (Collins and Sykes 1987) and the United States (Abramson and Claggett 1989; Belli et al. 2001), but not in The Netherlands.”
- The Immensely Inflated News Audience: Assessing Bias in Self-Reported News Exposure (2009, background): “…likely to overreport turnout and other forms of political participation (Presser 1984; Volgy and Schwarz 1984; Silver, Anderson, and Abramson 1986; Belli, Traugott, and Beckmann 2001), but Nielsen does not publish audience ratings by political interest or education, so it remains unknown if these…”
- Sensitive questions in surveys. (2007, background): “Still, overreporting has been found for reports about voting (Belli et al., 2001; Locander et al., 1976; Parry & Crossley, 1950; Traugott & Katosh, 1979), energy conservation (Fujii, Hennessy, & Mak, 1985), seat belt use (Stulginskas, Verreault, & Pless, 1985), having a library card (Locander et…”
- Social desirability bias in voter turnout reports Tests using the item count technique (2010, background): “Also consistent is evidence indicating that turnout over-reporting may increase as the time between the election and the interview increases (Belli et al. 2001, although see Belli, Moore, and VanHoewyk 2006).”
