Abstract Nonresponse is a repeatedly reported concern in survey research. In this article, we investigate the technique of reissuing nonrespondents to another interviewer and attempting to convert them into respondents, using data of Rounds 7 and 8 of the European Social Survey (ESS) in Belgium. The results show no marked differences between respondents interviewed by the more and the less successful interviewers, indicating that the latter are not more successful in persuading more reluctant respondents to participate. Sample units that were unsuccessfully approached in the initial phase by an interviewer with a high response rate are more difficult to convert during the reissue phase. Sample units that were unsuccessfully approached in the initial phase by an interviewer with a low response rate are easier to convert during the reissue phase.

评估采访者在与重新签发的初始未答复者之间的表现

摘要无应答是调查研究中反复报道的关注点。在本文中，我们使用比利时欧洲社会调查（ESS）的第7轮和第8轮的数据，研究了将无应答者重新发送给另一位访问者并将其转换为应答者的技术。结果显示，成功访问者和不太成功访问者之间的受访者之间没有显着差异，这表明后者在说服更多勉强的受访者参与方面并不成功。在初始阶段，面试官答复率高而未成功访问的样本单位在重新发布阶段更难转换。在初始阶段，访问率低的访问者未能成功访问的样本单位在重新发布阶段更容易转换。
