  1. Increasing response rates by changinge-mail Invitations in web surveys Evgeny Terentev Natalia Maloshonok Aigul Mavletova

  2. Previous studies • Usage of personal salutation increases response rate [Cook C., Heath F., Thompson R. L. 2000; Heerwegh D., Loosveldt G. 2006; Joinson A.N., Woodly A., Reips U-D. 2007; Muñoz-Leiva F., et al. 2010]. • Offering personalized feedbackcompensates for the negative effects of low topic salience on response rates [Marcus B. et al. 2007]. • Usage of authoritative or high status sender increases response rate [Guéguen N., Jacob C. 2002; Joinson A. N., Reips U. D. 2003]. • Subject line in a form of request for help increases response rate [Henderson V. 2011; Trouteaud A. R. 2004]. • Changing in the text of reminders increases response rate [Sauermann H., Roach M. 2013].

  3. Empirical base • Applicants to HSE undergraduate programs: N=6027, RR=37%, BR= 6%. • Applicants to HSE master programs: N=1873, RR=45%, BR=7%. • Graduates of HSE bachelor programs: N=2437, RR=11%, BR=6%. • HSE Students (bachelors and masters): N=13350, RR=11%, BR=4%. • Students of pedagogical university: N=186, RR=33%, BR=10%. • Students of technical university: N=223, RR=31%, BR=5%.

  4. Experimental factors

  5. Experimental factors

  6. Results 1. Sender Chi square(graduates)=40.098, df=1, p<0.001 Chi square(students of pedagogical university)=10.707, df=1, p<0.001

  7. Results 2. Personal salutation Chi square=7.595, df=2, p<0,05

  8. Results 3. Selectivity Chi square=9.127, df=1, p<0.01

  9. Results 4. Interaction of factors Survey: HSE 3rd and 4th years students OR=1,592,p<0,01 Survey: Students of technical university OR=7,273,p<0,001

  10. Results 5

  11. Conclusions and discussion • Not all factors have the same effect on all categories of respondents. • If main effects were not always significant, the interaction effects can significantly increase response rates.
