Obtaining high response rates is sometimes difficult and expensive, but clearly plays a beneficial role in terms of improving data quality. It is becoming increasingly clear, however, that simply boosting response to achieve a higher response rate will not in itself eradicate nonresponse bias. In this book the authors argue that high response rates should not be seen as a goal in themselves, but rather as part of an overall survey quality strategy based on random probability sampling and aimWiley series in survey methodology.Social surveysResponse rateSocial surveysResponse rateEuropePublic opinion pollsPublic opinionEuropeElectronic books.Social surveysResponse rate.Social surveysResponse ratePublic opinion polls.Public opinion001.4301.072/3Stoop Ineke A.
