A challenge for survey methodology:The cell phone only households Source: Lepkowski et al 2008; own investigation Gabler/Häder, Landline/cell phone, Q2008 Rome 10 July 2008
DFG-Project: Interviews via cell phones • Cooperation TU Dresden and GESIS-ZUMA • Two parallel surveys: one via landline, one via cell phone • Aims of the project:- Investigation of mode effects- Response behaviour- Weighting model for the combination of both samples • Respectively ca. 1,000 people interviewed Realization: Landline 1,009Cell phones 1,161 • Survey period October 2007-April 2008 Gabler/Häder, Landline/cell phone, Q2008 Rome 10 July 2008
All hypothetical numbers assigned: 279,000,000 numbers* Generated numbers on basis of used number blocks: 178,050,000 numbers Registered numbers2,297,460(January 2008) Sampling procedure for cell phone numbers by BIK n ASCHPURWIS + BEHRENS GmbH *) Provider O2 allocates eight-digit numbers in connection with the prefix 0176. even though only seven-digit numbers were ordered at RegTP.

Weigthing model: basic assumption The probability of choosing two (not necessarily different) members of the same household via different modes is insignificant. (Could be a problem in small regional samples). Gabler/Häder, Landline/cell phone, Q2008 Rome 10 July 2008

ì 1 = F i.e. k í i 2.5 î Weighting model Problem: Most of the household members do not know the exact quantity of landline numbers allowing access to their household. Therefore the simplified assumption: Landline (analog): 1 number Landline (ISDN): 2.5 numbersISDN = integrated services digital network Gabler/Häder, Landline/cell phone, Q2008 Rome 10 July 2008

Following Steps • Evaluation • Publication of the results in Häder. M. und Häder. S. (Hrsg.): Telefonbefragungen über das Mobilfunknetz. VS Verlag. Winter 2008. • Consecutive application for the DFG: calculation of the response rates • Conference in Mannheim about the results of the DFG-Project. November 14th. 2008 • Further project within the framework of the DFG-program „Survey Methodology“: Mobilpanel together with Marek Fuchs (University of Kassel) Gabler/Häder, Landline/cell phone, Q2008 Rome 10 July 2008
