Abstract:
|
This paper has three major objectives: (1) to measure the incidence of individuals who have jettisoned their land-line phones as well as those who are “heavy users” of cell phones, (2) to assess the possible biases that both “exclusive” and “heavy users” of cell phones might introduce into the conduct of regular telephone surveys, and (3) to discuss the implications of the findings with respect to carrying out surveys via the cell phone.
The data for this study will be based on four nationwide surveys of face-to-face interviews that have been carried out between 2000 and 2004 and one similar survey to be carried out in 2005. The sample size for the 2005 survey will consist of approximately 1,000 respondents.
Respondents in the 2005 survey will be asked about the following topics:
(1) the frequency with which their household uses a land-line phone to answer voice calls, (2) ownership of a cell phone, (3) the percentage of all personal calls they make and receive via their cell phones, (4) the frequency of keeping their cell phones turned on during the day when not making calls, and (5) the likelihood of their household abandoning land-line phones and relying exclusively on cell phones to both initiate and receive voice calls.
The 2005 survey will also investigate whether respondents view their cell phones as mainly a private or a public mode of communication by asking them how willing they would be to have their cell phone numbers listed in a directory of cell phone numbers. Finally, the 2005 survey will also ask cell phone owners about their general willingness to participate in a telephone survey via their cell phones. For comparative purposes, respondents will also be asked about their general willingness to participate in a telephone survey via their land-line phones. |
