%T Revisiting "yes/no" versus "check all that apply": results from a mixed modes experiment %A Nicolaas, Gerry %A Campanelli, Pamela %A Hope, Steven %A Jäckle, Annette %A Lynn, Peter %J Survey Research Methods %N 3 %P 189-204 %V 9 %D 2015 %K check all that apply; forced choice %@ 1864-3361 %X "The work of Smyth, Dillman, Christian, and Stern (2006) and Smyth, Christian, and Dillman (2008) compares 'yes/no' questions to 'check all that apply' questions. They conclude that the “yes/no” format is preferable as it reflects deeper processing of survey questions. Smyth et al. (2008) found that the 'yes/no' format performed similarly across telephone and web modes. In this paper we replicate their research and extend it by including a comparison with face-to-face in addition to telephone and web and by using probability samples of the general adult population. A cognitive interviewing follow-up was used to explore the quantitative findings. Our results suggest there are times when the 'yes/no' format may not perform similarly across modes and that there may be factors which limit the quality of answers."
