Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Based on two randomized random samples of juveniles (total N = 1629) the effects of two different question forms on the estimates of self-reported delinquency (prevalence and incidence rates) are investigated. One version uses items of the life-time prevalence of 16 delinquent behavioral acts as filter questions to additional series of questions with one page per delinquent act whereas the other version asks for the life-time prevalences and last year incidences of all 16 acts on a single page. Placing all items on a single page results in significantly higher estimates of delinquency, doubling the last year prevalence rates for the majority of delinquent acts. The differences of both versions cannot be explained by sequential effects but are likely due to different thresholds for social desirable responding. Additionally, it is investigated whether the effects of predictors of delinquent behavior differ across versions and whether the rates of high frequency offenders identified differ according to the version of the questionnaires.
