| Vignette Experiment on Paradata | This study consists of two measures. In July 2008, the LISS panel was presented a questionnaire on how the panel members feel about privacy in general; about the extent to which they feel that their privacy is violated by various organizations; and about their trust in research institutes. This questionnaire was fielded ahead of an experiment on the collection of paradata. In August 2008, the LISS panel was presented a questionnaire on the collection of paradata. The panel members were presented a fictitious invitation to participate in a study, after which they were asked to indicate the probability of their participation. Depending on the condition to which panel members were assigned, the type of research institute that issued the invitation, the topic of the study, and the extent to which the invitation mentioned the collection of so-called paradata (the recording of data pertaining to e.g. browser features, user's behavior, keystrokes, time indications, and so on) all varied. |
| Vignette Experiment on Paradata > Part 1 | This study focuses on general attitudes regarding privacy, confidentiality, and trust, and attitudes toward survey organizations. |
| Vignette Experiment on Paradata > Part 2 | This study focuses on respondents’ views on the ethical issues relating to online data collection and paradata (data about the process of data collection, including browser characteristics, user metrics, keystroke files, time stamps, etc). |
| LISS panel > Leisure time expenditure | This study investigates whether effective question writing reduces the effect of pictures presented with a question. The study contains two measures: In the first measure respondents were randomly assigned to one of nine experimental conditions (3 x 3), thus varying both pictures and verbal instructions. In the second measure verbal instructions were kept identical to wave I, whereas respondents were again randomly assigned to one of three picture-conditions. |
| LISS panel > Leisure time expenditure > Wave 1 | This study investigates whether effective question writing reduces the effect of pictures presented with a question. Respondents were randomly assigned to one of nine experimental conditions (3 x 3), thus varying both pictures and verbal instructions. |
| LISS panel > Leisure time expenditure > Wave 2 | In July 2009, the LISS panel completed wave 2 of a questionnaire on leisure time expenditure. The survey included an experiment to test whether effective question writing reduces the effect of pictures presented with a question. Verbal instructions were kept identical to wave I, whereas respondents were again randomly assigned to one of three picture-conditions. |
