AND WHAT ABOUT QUALITY & PERFORMANCE
Taking a survey mobile takes approx.
30% longer than on stationary devices
Dropout rates are (currently!) approx.
10% higher than in „normal“ surveys
Only moderate implications on data
quality compared to stationary devices:
Higher variance in grid questions
Approx. 15% less text in open-
ended questions
Higher item-non-response (don‘t
know or N/A)
