Abstract Supplemental surveys are used as data extenders and cost minimizers. Since 1980, the General Social Survey (GSS) has included supplemental surveys, such as the International Social Survey Program (ISSP) modules or sensitive questions, such as sex behavior. These self-administered supplemental surveys are conducted after the core survey of the GSS is completed. Despite the wide use of the ISSP modules, less attention has focused on supplemental survey nonresponse. In 2002, the GSS core survey using CAPI was followed by CASI supplemental survey. For the first time, therefore, we have the opportunity to examine the correlates of CASI supplemental nonresponse. About 16% (N=431 of 2765) did not complete the supplemental surveys. Using logistic regression, we find that those who are old, black, living in South, those who did not report income, were not born in U.S., or do not use computers are more likely to be non-respondents. Furthermore, among respondents asked to complete the social network questions (N=1372), those who are married, female, or living without parent at age 16 are also more likely to be non-respondents. Future studies using the social network questions in the GSS should consider the effects of these correlates on the variables of interest for any bias.
