a certain target response number has been reached. However, this does not
solve the problem of non-participants (those people that have refused to take
part) being in some way different from those that have agreed to participate,
and the same issues as with survey research remain. Therefore it is again best
to try and maximise initial response rates and minimise the number of nonrespondents.
The methods we can use to help us achieve this are similar to
those mentioned with respect to pencil-and-paper questionnaires:

1. Keep the questionnaire sufficiently short.
2. Phone or contact people at a time convenient to them and arrange
another date or time for the interview if necessary.
3. Promise and provide respondents with feedback on the research
project.
4. Provide a reward for completion.
5. Follow up visits and phone calls.
6. Again, credibility is a factor.

None of these methods will totally eradicate non-response, and we therefore
need to carefully consider what factors can lead to non-response and how
we can correct for differences between non-respondents and respondents.

Analyse the data
The final step is data analysis. We can use a large variety of methods when
analysing survey data. These will be discussed in the following chapters.

Advantages and disadvantages of survey research
Survey research has a number of advantages that have made it the most
popular type of research in social sciences. First of all, survey research is
highly flexible. It is possible to study a wide range of research questions
using survey methods. You can describe a situation, study relationships
between variables and so on. Because survey research does not set up an
artificial situation like an experiment, it is easier to generalise findings to
real-world settings, as this is where the research takes place. Survey studies
are also efficient in terms of our being able to gather large amounts of
data at reasonably low cost and effort compared to other methods like
