Mireia Bolíbar; Julia Martínez-Ariño; Maria Schiller – Field Methods, 2025
We propose a new method for analyzing and visualizing information on a large collection of personal networks to uncover the socio-centric structure of relationships among aggregated actors that we clustered into categories. The network of categories identifies the links between groups of sampled ego actors sharing a given attribute (e.g.,…

Data donation is a novel approach to collecting digital trace data, where users are asked to download their retrospective data from a platform and share them with the researchers. Little is known about the willingness to donate data and the potential bias that may arise from nonparticipation. We conducted a study among over 900 German Facebook…

Jamelia Harris – Field Methods, 2024
Not knowing the population size is a common problem in data-limited contexts. Drawing on work in Sierra Leone, this short take outlines a four-step solution to this problem: (1) estimate the population size using expert interviews; (2) verify estimates using interviews with participants sampled; (3) triangulate using secondary data; and (4)…

Conducting research among hard-to-reach populations is a difficult endeavor because some of their characteristics are known to be associated with survey nonresponse and panel attrition. In the case of the Parchemins study, which followed undocumented migrants over their process of regularization and during the first years of regularized life in…

Jannes Jacobsen; Manuel Siegert – Field Methods, 2024
This article analyzes whether response patterns in surveys differ between the general population, regular immigrants, and recent refugees. Analyses show that the address quality of refugees contacted in the first wave of a panel study is worse than that of the general population, but of a similar quality to that of other recent immigrants. Once…

de Rada, Vidal Díaz – Field Methods, 2022
This article presents the results of a general population study that used three different modes of data collection administered sequentially. The study began with a letter that contained the link to an online survey. Those who did not respond were interviewed by phone or face-to-face. The article focuses on the cost of the study related to…

Lipps, Oliver; Monsch, Gian-Andrea – Field Methods, 2022
Telephone surveys face more and more criticism because of decreasing coverage and increasing costs, and the risk of producing socially desirable answers. Consequently, survey administrators consider switching their surveys to the web mode, although the web mode is more susceptible to item nonresponse. Still, we do not know whether this is true for…

Revilla, Melanie; Couper, Mick P.; Paura, Ezequiel; Ochoa, Carlos – Field Methods, 2021
Passive data from a tracking application (or "meter") installed on participants' devices to register the URLs visited have great potential for studying people's online activities. However, given privacy concerns, obtaining cooperation installing a meter can be difficult and lead to selection bias. Therefore, in this article, we address…

Leon, Carmen M.; Aizpurua, Eva; van der Valk, Sophie – Field Methods, 2022
Previous research shows that the direction of rating scales can influence participants' response behavior. Studies also suggest that the device used to complete online surveys might affect the susceptibility to these effects due to the different question layouts (e.g., horizontal grids vs. vertical individual questions). This article contributes…

Bollig, Michael; Schnegg, Michael; Schwieger, Diego A. Menestrey – Field Methods, 2020
This article introduces ethnographic upscaling, an innovative procedure to explore and test hypotheses drawn from in-depth ethnographic findings in spatially continuous cases. The approach combines the strength of localized ethnographic descriptions with questionnaire-based regional surveys to study the distribution of ethnographic findings across…

Quantifying Energy Consumption in Household Surveys: An Alternative Device-Based Accounting Approach
Wu, Shimei; Zheng, Xinye; Guo, Jin; Li, Chuan-Zhong; Wei, Chu – Field Methods, 2020
The exercise of quantifying the energy consumption data assembled through household surveys, either by the recall-based approach or the meter-based approach, remains a challenging task, especially in rural areas of developing countries. In this article, we propose a device-based bottom-up accounting method for estimating household energy…

Daum, Thomas; Buchwald, Hannes; Gerlicher, Ansgar; Birner, Regina – Field Methods, 2019
One challenge of collecting socioeconomic data, such as data on time-use, is recall biases. While time-use researchers have continuously developed new methods to make data collection more accurate and easy, these methods are difficult to use in developing countries, where study participants may have low literacy levels and no clock-based concepts…

Hsieh, Shu-Hui; Wa Lukusa, Martin Tshishimbi – Field Methods, 2021
In surveys, proportions of individuals self-reporting as bisexual and homosexual are likely to suffer from misreports or refusal to answer when directly questioned. For more reliable information, the randomized response technique is often used. Therefore, to reduce social desirability bias, a multi-level randomized response technique has been used…

Lau, Charles Q.; Sanders, Herschel; Lombaard, Ansie – Field Methods, 2019
Short message service (SMS or text messaging) surveys can collect data quickly and inexpensively. However, SMS surveys have space constraints that pose difficulties to questionnaire designers: Questions can only be 160 characters or less, surveys must be short, and many respondents use phones with small screens. In this article, we compare SMS and…

Pustulka, Paula; Bell, Justyna; Trabka, Agnieszka – Field Methods, 2019
This article addresses methodological issues related to the consequences of researchers' range of insider identities that emerge over the course of completing subsequent stages of qualitative migration research projects. Taking on a temporal approach to the insider status evolving over the course of field entry, data collection, data analysis, and…
