Surveying Alumni by Mail: Effect of Booklet/Folder Questionnaire Format and Style of Type on Response Rate.
Boser, Judith A.
Research in Higher Education, v31 n2 p149-59 Apr 1990
Two investigations, each involving a survey of university alumni, found that questionnaire type font (conventional typewriter type and professional-appearing type) and construction (single pages, stapled, and booklet) did not have a significant effect on response rates. Other considerations that may influence questionnaire design decisions are discussed. (Author/MSE)
