Abstract
SummaryFive recent mail surveys carried out by the Government Social Survey are examined for their bearing on mail survey technique. Experimental features introduced into these studies allow measurement of non-response bias, of early/late response bias, of response by non-addressees, of the influence of a variety of factors on the response rate, and of response reliability and validity. An attempt is also made to evaluate all published research on each topic, and thus to present a definitive summary of the present state of knowledge about mail survey technique.
