Survey researchers often use a check-all question format in Web and mail surveys, but revise it to a forced-choice format in telephone surveys. An underlying assumption is that format is unimportant. Recent experimental studies, however, have quite consistently demonstrated higher affirmative answers in the forced-choice question format than in the check-all question format in both mail and web surveys. Some authors have suggested that the forced-choice question may provide greater accuracy. However, none of the previous studies have included external validation measures. This is critical because without a benchmark one cannot know which format provides a more accurate answer. To examine these issues, a series of three experiments were conducted in 3 provincial park campgrounds in
