Özet:
Improving research quality under budget and time constraints is a fundamental challenge that researchers come across while conducting social research, in particular on sensitive issues like crime victimization. Therefore, design and implementation of data collection methods have a decisive influence on the results of such research. The main objective of the current thesis is to investigate the impact of data collection mode on response quality in a sensitive panel survey. The sub-objectives are to examine the impact of the data collection method on response quality according to other interview characteristics as well as respondents’ some sociodemographic attributes. To reach these objectives, the individual data set of the National Crime Victimization Survey 2022 (the NCVS 2022) and the data obtained from the Expert Opinion Survey were analyzed through descriptive analyses and logistic regression models. The results reveal that the mode of data collection has significant interactions with day, season, and tenure variables as well as age, education level and employment status. However, the associations differ according to the sensitivity level and the dominant emotional of the questions. The findings of this study shed light on the importance of the mode of interview, other interview characteristics, respondent traits, and the complex interplay between these factors as well as the tradeoff between the measurement and nonresponse errors in social survey research, particularly in the context of question sensitivity and emotional burden.
