Surveys are used extensively in psychology, sociology and business,
as well as many other areas, but they are becoming increasingly
difficult to conduct. Some segments of the population are hard to
sample, some are hard to find, others are hard to persuade to
participate in surveys, and still others are hard to interview.
This book offers the first systematic look at the populations and
settings that make surveys hard to conduct and at the methods
researchers use to meet these challenges. It covers a wide range of
populations (immigrants, persons with intellectual difficulties,
and political extremists) and settings (war zones, homeless
shelters) that offer special problems or present unusual challenges
for surveys. The team of international contributors also addresses
sampling strategies including methods such as respondent-driven
sampling and examines data collection strategies including
advertising and other methods for engaging otherwise difficult
populations.
