?:abstract
  • Even though web surveys become more and more popular in social scientific research, there is much doubt about the quality of the generated data. This has much to do with the response style of respondents which is harder to control in web surveys than in personal or telephone interviews, where the interviewer can detect unsolicited response behaviors. Of special interest are satisficing respondents (Krosnick, 1991; Krosnick & Alwin, 1987). Response behaviors generally assumed to be associated with satisficing include response non-differentiation ("straightlining"), item nonresponse, and extremely short interview completion times ("speeding"). These unsolicited response styles are in particular relevant for online panels, because completing a large number of surveys and specific stimuli (e.g., incentives) might cause respondents to approach surveys differently than those with no or little survey-taking experience, resulting in an increased probability of respondents to show satisficing response behavior. In order to evaluate the quality of our data after the fieldwork period we developed four self-disclosure items based on satisficing theory to measure the motivation and the engagement of the respondents as well as the overall burden, the questions impose on them. We then tested these items in two web surveys with respondents from two different German non-probability online access panels. Our results are, first of all, that satisficing theory offers a useful framework to analyze the quality of our data. Secondly, that the self-disclosure items add to the explanation of unsolicited response behaviors. And finally, that our self-disclosure items are suited to get a first overview on the respondents' evaluation of the survey and the response process. (xsd:string)
