Abstract: Researchers have been looking for easily accessible and straightforwardly useable paradata and auxiliary data to improve survey data. Lately, there is also attention for the evaluation and validation of this external data, such as the assessment of the quality of interviewer-generated paradata. For these purposes, we investigated how useful Google Street View can be as auxiliary data and whether it allows us to assess the quality of interviewer observations on the houses and neighbourhoods of sample units. Additionally, we test whether Google Maps can inform us about the reachability of sample units and which data can predict non-response better. Although it is rather simple to use Google Maps and Street View in daily life, using it to code auxiliary data for surveys is more challenging than expected. Hence, this paper also offers a thorough discussion of the pitfalls of coding these auxiliary data as well as their current solutions.

Abstract: Work–family balance is a frequently studied topic, often examined using survey data. Yet studies have shown that work–family imbalance can lead to survey non-response. Missing people experiencing (more) problems with juggling work and family demands in surveys on work and family life is problematic as it can lead to biased results. Therefore, it is important to know whether some respondents are ‘harder to get’ in work-related and family-related surveys. This study investigates whether combined workloads of work and family life affect the ease of contact, the necessary precondition for survey participation, in face-to-face surveys on work and family life. Moreover, it tests whether it leads to a greater need for rescheduling the actual interview – an additional, often overlooked cost in the contact process. Using indicators of combined workloads and contact history data of two Belgian surveys on work and family life, differences in ease of contact and rescheduling needs are found according to employment st...

Abstract: As both time pressure (e.g., Gershuny 2005) and survey nonresponse (e.g., Curtin et al. 2005) increase in Western societies one can wonder whether the busiest people still have time for survey participation. This article investigates the relationship between busyness claims, indicators of busyness and the decline in survey participation in Flemish surveys conducted between 2002 and 2007. Using paradata collected during fieldwork, we investigate whether busyness related doorstep reactions have increased over the years and whether there is an empirical relationship between these busyness claims and indicators of busyness.©Statistics Sweden. ispartof: Journal of Official Statistics vol:27 issue:4 pages:619-632 status: published
