| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The main objective of our research is to construct a methodology of mixed visual-mode surveys using postal mail and Internet. First, we investigated the effect of questionnaire layout through postal mail surveys. Primacy effects often occur for both single-answer and multi-answer questions. A two-column layout for answer options results in a smaller primacy effect than a single-column layout. Long sentence options tend to be chosen rather than short sentences because they draw the eye. A neutral option located in the center of all possible options tends to be chosen by many respondents, but a neutral option set last tends to be ignored. If “Don’t know/No answer” is added in the sixth position of a five-point-scale, some respondents do not choose the neutral option, tending instead to choose options closer to “Don’t know/No answer.” Respondents answer by recognizing the center point of a visual scale, rather than the neutral meaning among all possible options.
