Suitability of Modes based on Social Desirability

[edit]

Originally stated: "This makes web surveys particularly well suited for studies of sexual behavior, illicit activities, bigotry, personal health and other sensitive or threatening topics." Removed this as it is not relevant to mode effects. Yes, web surveys are less prone to social desirability, but the statement says nothing about comparing results across modes. Debate pending, I've rephrased the examples to be a list of 'troublesome' areas you wouldn't want to use multiple modes, on social desirability grounds (i.e. social desirability is predicted to cause mode effects if multiple modes are used to investigate these topics).

Notability

[edit]

Not at all clear that this is notable, probably better merged into a larger article analyzing the 2015 campaign.E.M.Gregory (talk) 00:13, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
