Survey researchers have assumed that burdensome survey instruments, respondent skepticism about the usefulness of research, and the issues of informed consent, invasion of privacy, and confidentiality have been major factors in the assumed increase in respondent resistance (Bailar and Lanphier, 1978: Sinaiko and Broedling, 1976). To date, there is little evidence to support these beliefs (Marquis, 1977). The limited but systematic data collected thus far do not support the contention that informed consent and confidentiality issues play a major role in increasing nonresponse (Singer, 1978; Goldfield et al., 1978). But despite the lack of empirical evidence, strongly held beliefs about respondent resistance guide the research strategies of survey organizations and survey sponsors.t personal interviews are sometimes more suitable.Surveys | Methods | Telephones | Interviews | Anal2001 Brehob2002 Chin19979 Cobanoglu2001 Huff19989  Jenkins1985 Kirakowski Kraemer1993 Kuter2001 Lee1997 Moreo2001 Munro1998 Newsted1997 Newsted1998 Ngwenyama1997  Pinsonneault1993 Roberts1999  Stone1978  Trochim1997 Warde2001 Yilmaz2001 seopsn earet s |aSpmilgnt cenhqieu s |uQseitnoanrise| D segi n |7(01)0M raek teresrahc AuthorsJournals Keywords                                 Alreck, Pamela L.
