I can ask my friend who's in grad school for social/evol psych. Or someone here can enlighten me.) *That said, I know from studying risk assessment that minute differences in wording of questions (and possible answers) can have profound effects on people's responses.

nalgas Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 To be honest, I have no idea how reliable telephone and online surveys are Telephone can be fairly good, depending on who they select and how and all the usual stuff. Online ones are nearly always totally useless, for a huge number of reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
