Can Lottery Incentives Boost Web Survey Response Rates? Findings from Four Experiments (2011, background): “Peytcheva 2008; Groves et al. 2004; Loosveldt and Storms 2008; Marcus et al. 2007; Trussell and Lavrakas 2004), leverage-salience theory (LST) offers a more elaborate take on the process of survey participation than social exchange theory.”
Response Rates and Data Quality in Web and Mail Surveys Administered to PhD Holders (2011, background): “It is well known that participants are more likely to respond to a questionnaire if they consider its topic salience to be high (Dillman et al., 2002; Groves et al., 2004; Marcus et al., 2007).”
How Important are High Response Rates for College Surveys? (2016, methodology): “Our analyses focused on five NSSE measures, commonly referred to as the Benchmarks: Level of Academic Challenge (LAC), Active and Collaborative Learning (ACL), Student-Faculty Interaction (SFI), Enriching Educational Experiences (EEE), and Supportive Campus Environment (SCE).”
Student Survey Response Rates across Institutions: Why Do they Vary? (2006, positive): “Leverage-saliency theory predicts that the salience of a survey, or individual interest in the survey topic, should be strongly correlated with survey response ( Groves, Presser and Dipko, 2004b; Groves, Singer and Corning, 2000).”
Indicators for the representativeness of survey response (2009, background): “Curtin, Presser and Singer (2000), Groves, Presser and Dipko (2004) , Groves (2006), Groves and Peytcheva (2006), Keeter et al. (2000), Merkle and Edelman (2002), Heerwegh et al. (2007) and Schouten (2004).”
Social research 2.0: virtual snowball sampling method using Facebook (2012, background): “, 2000), the interest of the individuals on the topic considered (Groves et al., 2004), the incentives and the length of the survey (Moskowitz and Birgi, 2008) and technical factors (Couper, 2000).”
The Use and Effects of Incentives in Surveys (2013, background): “…would have been seriously mismeasured if incentives had not been used.8 Subsequent studies by groves and colleagues (groves et al. 2006; groves, Presser, and Dipko 2004) attempted to demonstrate experimentally both the role of topic interest in motivating survey participation and the…”
Changes in Telephone Survey Nonresponse over the Past Quarter Century (2005, result): “Although the common wisdom holds that decreases in response rates lead to increases in nonresponse bias, this has lately been challenged by results from the SCA (Curtin, Presser, and Singer 2000) and other surveys (Groves, Presser, and Dipko 2004; Keeter et al. 2000; Merkle and Edelman 2002).”
Response Rates in Organizational Science, 1995–2008: A Meta-analytic Review and Guidelines for Survey Researchers (2010, background): “Indeed, Groves et al. (2004) found that the tendency for the ‘‘interested’’ to cooperate more readily with a research survey was diminished when monetary incentives were provided.”
