Abstract There have been many discussions and articles about the response rates of online surveys. To probe the coherence between all possible factors will be a long-term but interesting research project. We want to present the results of a joint project concerning only one aspect. The market research department of Lufthansa Technik in Hamburg observed that within a male dominated business the response rate was higher, if the sender of a survey invitation mail was female. Unfortunately it wasn't possible to probe this effect - called "Anita-Effect" - scientifically because of the existing business environment. A talk between Stefan Althoff and Prof. Bernard Batinic at the GOR05 in Zurich was the starting point of project four persons were involved: - Victoria Greif worked for her diploma thesis at the above mentioned effect - Prof. Bernard Batinic was her tutor - Bodo Griel as institute researcher made the empiric tests within the online panel of webfrager - Stefan Althoff consulted the project . It's the aim of the presentation to show the results of the project.
