“…Second; it has to do with cultural difference; especially power distance. Several recommendations on the forced responses often suggest that survey researchers should not enforce the subject too much (Dillman;. Should the sample be enforced too strictly; they might drop out from the survey.…”

“…; subjects are free to leave any questionnaire items unanswered). The selection of the 100% and 0% forced categories was challenged by previous studies (Albaum;Dillman;. The 50% choice of forced response was added to see if the forced response should not be dichotomous and researchers may want to force responses only to a few items.…”

“…To minimize the chance of duplicating participation; we developed a session to control the number of responses.

In anticipating a high completion rate for web surveys, researchers must be attentive to the design features, two of which are the forced responses (i.e., 100%-, 50%, or 0%-forced) and the questionnaire item display (i.e., paging or scrolling). Moreover, the respondents’ favorable attitude towards questionnaires is a key factor driving them to complete the questionnaires. However, no studies have examined the effects of these three variables on web survey completion rates. This research thus attempts to fill this gap. Using a quasi-experiment, we obtained 401 responses to six (i.e., 3 levels of forced responses x 2 display styles) comparable online questionnaires with identical contents. The analysis confirmed the statistically significant effects of the forced responses, the item display and the subjects’ attitudes toward questionnaires on completion rates. In addition to extending theoretical insights into the factors leading to a web survey’s completion rates, practical recommendations are suggested based on the findings.
