In case it wasn't, you could use weights in order to reduce the bias.<BR/><BR/>I hope that you will get a higher number of completed surveys than expected.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578764475698868093.post-77614042774798234082007-11-18T12:17:00.000-05:002007-11-18T12:17:00.000-05:00May - I should add, I will be most upfront about t...May - I should add, I will be most upfront about the reported demographics of the sample I do end up with when I post any analyses. While it is in no way a random sample, I do hope that the reach of the web will, in some ways, make this convenience sample more broadly representative than the subjects usually recruited on single college campuses who's results are then published in journals and generalized to all people. I do realize that a 14 year old boy could respond as a 60 year old woman, but, that's just a chance worth taking given the goals of this survey. With no reward and a time comittment, I'm hoping trouble makers won't be interested enough to bother.Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05511240514127283024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578764475698868093.post-66622305058955532912007-11-18T11:52:00.000-05:002007-11-18T11:52:00.000-05:00This is very informal, May, I'm not publishing the...This is very informal, May, I'm not publishing the results in a journal.

If this is not feasible, unless you get a huge number of survey completed, you are not allowed to make inference from your results. What kind of analyses are you thinking to apply?<BR/><BR/>I really dislike the idea of taking an online survey but for you I will.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
