Outline of Final Research Achievements

Coverage error of opt-in web survey and its consequent bias are examined. Based on a hypothesis that commonly observed difference between web survey and phone or person-to-person survey results can be, mostly, attributed to serious undercoverage of opt-in web survey, two experimental web surveys are organized: one is opt-in, and another is based on random sampling from residential register. A quite conspicuous phenomenon is obtained; while respondents of two surveys are quite similar regarding their demographic factors, those from the opt-in survey show more negative attitude against foreign people and countries than residential register samples. This finding suggests not just the importance of the quality of sampling frame but also a difficulty to project the bias.
