Reducing Nontelephone Bias in RDD Surveys
Telephone surveys face the challenge of assessing, and compensating for, bias from noncoverage of nontelephone households. Work by Keeter (1995) suggested that some persons and households who do not have a telephone at a particular time are actually between spells of telephone service.

One explanation for this anchoring effect is that people selectively access knowledge consistent with the anchor value as part of a positive test strategy. Two studies (total N = 184) supported the alterna...
