Why is it more likely that a respondent will complete a personal interview than a telephone survey?
What will be an ideal response?
Because the respondent lacks any visual cues about the caller, there is uncertainty and distrust. Unless the caller can quickly alleviate the respondent’s discomfort, the respondent may refuse to finish the interview. For this reason telephone interviews are more likely to be terminated before completion than are personal interviews. It is harder to ask an interviewer to leave than it is simply to hang up the phone.
