Chadi, Adrian (2012) I would really love to participate in your survey! Bias problems in the measurement of well-being. Economics Bulletin, 32 (4), 3111-3119.
Abstract
This paper argues that satisfaction data from surveys are biased by varying participant attitudes toward the interview itself, In this manner, interviewees in a German panel study report lower life satisfaction when there is evidence of transient influences like aversion. The empirical findings suggest that researchers of well-being should consider interview-specific factors in order to avoid drawing incorrect conclusions.
