Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: Current knowledge about the causes of offending behavior is heavily reliant on self-reports of offending (SRO). However, methodological research on the impact of modes of administration on SRO is very scarce. Further, the existing evidence conflicts with the general knowledge about responding to sensitive questions. In this study, we aimed to test whether SRO are affected by modes of administration.
UNASSIGNED: We carried out a methodological experiment, with a 2 (interviewer-administered vs. self-administered surveys) × 2 (paper-and-pencil vs. computer- assisted surveys) factorial design. A total of 181 undergraduate students were randomly assigned to one of these conditions and completed the International Self-Report Delinquency 3 (ISRD3) questionnaire.
UNASSIGNED: Findings showed an increased odds of reporting offending behavior in self-administered surveys, compared to face-to-face interviews. Paper-and-pencil and computer-assisted modes resulted in comparable estimates of offending.
UNASSIGNED: This experiment provides evidence that SRO provide more accurate estimates of offending behavior using self-administered surveys.
摘要:
未经证实:当前有关冒犯行为原因的知识在很大程度上依赖于自我冒犯报告(SRO)。然而,关于管理模式对SRO影响的方法学研究非常缺乏。Further,现有证据与回答敏感问题的一般知识相冲突。在这项研究中,我们的目的是测试SRO是否受到管理模式的影响。
未经评估:我们进行了方法学实验,与2(面试官管理的vs.自我管理调查)×2(纸笔与计算机辅助调查)析因设计。共有181名本科生被随机分配到这些条件之一,并完成了国际自我报告犯罪3(ISRD3)问卷。
未经评估:研究结果表明,在自我管理的调查中,报告违规行为的几率增加,与面对面采访相比。纸笔和计算机辅助模式产生了可比的犯罪估计。
UNASSIGNED:该实验提供了证据,证明SRO使用自我管理的调查提供了对冒犯行为的更准确估计。
