Research Abstract |
This study aimed to define and understand the factors that may help reduce respondent burden in questionnaire-based investigations. We developed abridged versions of psychological measurement systems. In a study involving college students where the questionnaire consisted of 190 items, the feeling of a burden and the rates of missing value didn't increase. Moreover, we published (Namikawa et al. 2004) techniques to shorten the length of questionnaires and improve their reliability. We developed shortened versions of questionnaires, such as the Big Five scale, the daily parent and child's relationship measuring system, the Japanese version of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for children (STAI-C), and so on. Finally, we developed a questionnaire system based on Computer-Adaptive Test to reduce respondent burden.
