Survey Attitude Scale (SAS) revised: A Randomized Control Trial among Higher Education Graduates in Germany.Euler, T., Schwabe, U., Kastirke, N., Fiedler, I., & Sudheimer, S. (2020, September).Survey Attitude Scale (SAS) revised: A Randomized Control Trial among Higher Education Graduates in Germany. Poster präsentiert auf der 22. General Online Research Conference (GOR20) in Berlin. Abstract
Various empirical evidence signals that general attitudes towards surveys do predict willingness to participate in (online) surveys. The nine-item short form of the Survey Attitude Scale (SAS) as proposed by de Leeuw et al. (2010, 2019) differentiates between three dimensions: (i) survey enjoyment, (ii) survey value, and (iii) survey burden. Previous analyses in different datasets have shown that two dimensions do not perform satisfactory with respect to internal consistency and factor loadings in different samples (Fiedler et al. 2019). Referring to de Leeuw et al. (2019), we therefore investigate into the question whether the SAS can be further improved by reformulating single items and adding new ones from existing literature |
