Effects of Computer Assisted Interviewing on Data Quality Report, Columbus OH: Center for Human Resource Research, The Ohio State University, 1991 Cohort(s): NLS General, NLSY79 Publisher: Center for Human Resource Research Keyword(s): Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI); Data Quality/Consistency; Interviewer Characteristics; Interviewing Method; NLS Description While paper and pencil is the traditional mode of in-person data collection, computer assisted personal interviewing is emerging. Evaluation analysts must decide how to collect their data and whether data collected by computer are comparable to data collected using paper and pencil. Using data from two experiments with parallel paper and pencil and computer assisted modes from Rounds 11 and 12 of the NLSY, it was found that computer assisted interviewing suppresses the most common kinds of interviewer error, but otherwise has no significant effect upon the data collected in a large longitudinal interview. Interviewer characteristics and whether the interview is done by telephone are more important factors than the use of a computer. |
