As ever more surveys are conducted, recruited respondents are more likely to already have previous survey experience. Furthermore, it has become more difficult to convince individuals to participate in surveys, and thus, incentives are increasingly used. Both previous survey experience and participation in surveys due to incentives have been discussed in terms of their links with response quality. This study aims to assess whether previous web survey experience and survey participation due to incentives are linked with three indicators of response quality: item non-response, primacy effect and non-differentiation. Analysing data of the probability-based CROss-National Online Survey panel covering Estonia, Slovenia and Great Britain, we found that previous web survey experience is not associated with item non-response and the occurrence of a primacy effect but is associated with non-differentiation. Participating due to the incentive is not associated with any of the three response quality indicators assessed. Hence, overall, we find little evidence that response quality is linked with either previous web survey experience or participating due to the incentive.

以前的调查经验和因激励而参与会影响响应质量吗？来自 CRONOS 小组的证据

随着越来越多的调查进行，被招募的受访者更有可能已经有以前的调查经验。此外，说服个人参与调查变得更加困难，因此越来越多地使用激励措施。之前的调查经验和因激励而参与调查的情况都已就其与响应质量的联系进行了讨论。本研究旨在评估以前的网络调查经验和因激励而参与的调查是否与响应质量的三个指标相关：项目不响应、首要效应和非差异化。分析基于概率的 CROss-全国在线调查小组的数据，涵盖爱沙尼亚、斯洛文尼亚和英国，我们发现，以前的网络调查经验与项目无响应和首要效应的发生无关，但与无差异有关。由于激励而参与与评估的三个响应质量指标中的任何一个都无关。因此，总体而言，我们几乎没有发现任何证据表明响应质量与之前的网络调查经验或由于激励而参与有关。
