- 1. The reliability of children's survey responses: The impact of cognitive functioning on respondent behavior ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-522-X200800010961Description:
Increasingly, children of all ages are becoming respondents in survey interviews. While juveniles are considered to be reliable respondents for many topics and survey settings it is unclear to what extend younger children provide reliable information in a face-to-face interview. In this paper we will report results from a study using video captures of 205 face-to-face interviews with children aged 8 through 14. The interviews have been coded using behavior codes on a question by question level which provides behavior-related indicators regarding the question-answer process. In addition, standard tests of cognitive resources have been conducted. Using visible and audible problems in the respondent behavior, we are able to assess the impact of the children's cognitive resources on respondent behaviors. Results suggest that girls and boys differ fundamentally in the cognitive mechanisms leading to problematic respondent behaviors.

Screen design and questionnaire design affect the interviewer behavior in a CAI environment. Previous research has shown that interviewers can work more properly and efficiently if suitable functions and features are incorporated in the CAI instrument. Usability experiments with the household roster of two large government surveys have shown that using grids and tables is an important feature to facilitate the interviewer's performance.
