Abstract:
|
The potential effect on respondent burden is a major consideration in the evaluation of survey design options, so the ability to quantify the burden associated with alternative designs would be a useful evaluation tool. Furthermore, the development of such a tool could facilitate more systematic examination of the association between burden and data quality. In this study, we explore the application of Partial Least Squares path modeling to construct a burden score. Our data come from a phone-based, modified version of the Consumer Expenditure Interview Survey in which respondents were asked post-survey assessment questions on dimensions thought to be related to burden - e.g., effort, survey length, and the frequency of survey requests (Bradburn, 1978). These dimensions served as the latent constructs in our model.
