PaCo - Mechanisms of panel conditioning in longitudinal surveys: Questions on social desirability, gender roles, and environment (English Version) - Cognitive Pretest
Zusammenfassung:
The PaCo project addresses panel conditioning effects (PCE), that is, changes in actual behavior, attitudes, or knowledge, or changes in response behavior as a result of previous survey participation.
The subject of this pretest are questions on reflection, social desirability, and motivation, which were newly developed and collected for the first time in the GESIS Panel.
The questions were tested by means of telephone cognitive interviews.
*Note: The items were tested in German. The items documented here are English translations of the original German wordings.*

Vorgehensweise:
The cognitive interviews were conducted by phone. The test subjects were asked to have a computer with Internet access ready for the interview. The link to the online questionnaire to be tested was sent to the test subjects by e-mail at the beginning of the cognitive interview. The test subjects initially answered the online questionnaire independently on the computer and informed the test administrator of their respective answers. After completion of the questionnaire, the cognitive follow-up questions to the questions were asked (retrospective probing), whereby the test subjects could follow the individual questions to be tested as well as their answers on the computer screen.

Projektbeschreibung:
The PaCo project addresses panel conditioning effects (PCE), that is, changes in actual behavior, attitudes, or knowledge, or changes in response behavior resulting from previous survey participation. These threaten the most important goals of longitudinal research, namely the reliable measurement of stability and change. In experimental studies, PaCo investigates the mechanisms of PCE and proposes means to reduce measurement error due to PCE.
