We examined the effects of the mode of gratification (bonus points, sweepstake, report of results), the purpose of the study (scientific versus commercial) and the number of reminders on the return rate in online panels. 68 online surveys which were conducted in four different online panels during the years 2000 to 2004 were analyzed. The overall return rate was 71.9 percent (N = 57.598; 73.5 percent when weighting for sample-size). Bonus points and the number of reminders increased the return rate significantly. We found only a weak effect of the investigation purpose on the return rate. Unexpectedly, the announcement of a report with study results reduced the return rate. The findings are discussed with regard to their generalizability and further research questions.
Überprüft wird der Einfluss der Gratifikationsform (Bonuspunkte, Verlosungen, Ergebnisberichte), des Untersuchungszwecks (wissenschaftliche versus kommerzielle Befragung) und der Zahl der Reminder auf die Rücklaufquote in Online-Panels. Hierzu wurden 68 Online-Umfragen, die in vier Online-Panels in den Jahren 2000 bis 2004 durchgeführt wurden, miteinander verglichen. Die durchschnittliche Rücklaufquote über alle untersuchten Online-Panel Umfragen hinweg betrug 71,9 Prozent (N = 57.598) bzw. stichprobengewichtet 73,5 Prozent. Vergabe von Bonuspunkten und Zahl der Reminder stehen in einem positiven Zusammenhang zur Rücklaufquote. Zwischen der Untersuchungsthematik (Forschung vs. kommerzielles Ziel) und der Rücklaufquote konnte hingegen nur ein schwacher Zusammenhang festgestellt werden. Die Ankündigung eines Ergebnisberichts über die Befragung steht entgegen den Erwartungen in einem negativen Zusammenhang zur Rücklaufquote. Generalisierbarkeit der Befunde sowie weitere Forschungsfragen werden abschließend diskutiert.
