Abstract

An experiment was conducted by random assignment of text box size to open end questions in a web survey of faculty members. We hypothesized that a larger box would result in lengthier responses. While direct effects were not observed, differences were observed with moderating effects of engagement in the activity under investigation and in relation to whether positive or negative reactions were solicited. The implications of the results for web surveys are discussed.
