“…The Internet provides both a platform for the administration of online surveys (Couper, & Miller, 2008;Kraut et al, 2004;Riva, Teruzzi, & Anolli, 2003) and a tool for acquiring more diverse research participants. As tools for survey administration and participant recruitment are developed, however, researchers must be careful to evaluate the validity of these novel approaches.…”

Increasingly, researchers have begun to explore the potential of the Internet to reach beyond the traditional undergraduate sample. In the present study, we sought to compare the data obtained from a conventional undergraduate collegestudent sample to data collected via two online survey recruitment platforms. In order to examine whether the data sampled from the three populations were equivalent, we conducted a test of equivalency using inferential confidence intervals-an approach that differs from the more traditional null hypothesis significance testing. The results showed that the data obtained via the two online recruitment platforms, the Amazon Mechanical Turk crowdsourcing site and the virtual environment of Second Life, were statistically equivalent to the data obtained from the college sample, on the basis of means of standardized measures of psychological stress and sleep quality. Additionally, correlations between the sleep and stress measures were not statistically different between the groups. These results, along with practical considerations for the use of these recruitment platforms, are discussed, and recommendations for other researchers who may be considering the use of these platforms are provided.

“…Survey is the preferred type of data collection for the study due to the economy of the design and the rapid turnaround in data collection (Copuer & Mille, 2008;Lindhjen & Navrud, 2011). The chosen design provides a quantitative representation of behavior and opinions through sampling of a population (Couper & Mille, 2008;Creswell, 2009). …”

The purpose of the current study is to explain corruption from social learning and social disorganization perspectives. The study utilized survey design, participants were selected through convenience sampling and two thousand and fifty six respondents participated in the study. Descriptive statistics such as mean, median, frequency tables and percentages were adopted to analyze the data collected from the field. Both male and female participants, irrespective of their religion perceived that changes in cultural values have increased corruption in Nigeria. Majority of the participants noted that corruption as a behaviour is learned. The findings indicate that social learning and social disorganization theories are relevant in explaining incidents of corrupt practices in Nigeria.

“…Although an electronic version was available, it was not used in the snowball process because of doubts about its operation with various browsers. In addition, lower response rates (Sen and Bricka 2009), and higher rates of drop out behavior and item non-response are reported for online instruments (Heerwegh and Loosveldt 2008;Couper and Miller 2008; for problems with online surveys on personal networks see Matzat and Snijders, 2010). Given these issues, we decided to keep high technology in the lab and use low technology in the field (Hogan 2007).…”
