Anket Verilerin İdari Kayıtlarla Birleştirilmesi İçin Onay Verme Davranışını Etkileyen Faktörlerin Araştırılması

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, anket katılımcı verilerinin idari kayıtlar benzeri diğer verilerle birleştirilme aşamasında verdikleri onay davranışına etki eden tüm faktörleri araştırmaktır. Çalışma verisi, bu onayı verme oranı hesaplanmış ya da hesaplanabilen, uluslararası literatürde İngilizce olarak kaleme alınmış farklı alanlardaki anketlerin gözden geçirilmesi ve sistematik bir biçimde incelenmesi sonucu oluşturulmuştur. Diğer verilerle birleştirme onay verme oranı, o dönemin onay verenlerinin tüm anket katılımcılarına bölünmesiyle elde edilir. Bağımlı değişken onay verme oranı ve bağımsız değişkenler, anket ve onay verme süreci karakteristikleridir. Sistematik derlemenin sonrasında tüm değişkenlerin (anket cevaplama oranı, anket konusu, anket yılı, anket veri toplama metodu ve anket veri birleştirme onay isteme metodu gibi ilişkili degişkenler) değerlendirildiği istatistiksel modellerle onay verme davranışının belirleyicileri tartışılmıştır. Anketörle, bilgisayar destekli telefon anketlerinin, anketörün olmadığı anketlere göre; devlet sponsorlu anketlerin, özel anketlere göre; panel anketlerin, yatay kesit anketlere göre ve onay verme sorusunun basta sorulduğu anketlerin, diğer bölümlerde sorulanlara göre daha yüksek oranda verilerinin birleştirilmesine onay verdikleri bulunmuştur. Çalışmanın sonucu, diğer verilerle birleştirme konusunda yüksek oranlı onaya ulaşmanın anket katılımcılarının güven oluşturma süreçleri ile paralel davranış sergilediklerini düşündürmektedir. Araştırmanın bulgularının bundan sonraki onay verme süreci incelemelerine de bir perspektif kazandırabileceği görülmektedir.

Investigating the Determinants that Influence Consent Behavior for Linking Survey Data with Administrative Records

Abstract

This research investigates the determinants of consent behavior in linking survey and administrative data, filling a notable gap in existing studies. It conducts a thorough systematic review of a wide variety of surveys from multiple countries, examining survey and consent design characteristics to assess their influence on consent rates. Through statistical analysis, the study evaluates numerous factors such as survey response rate, topic, country, year, type, mode, age of target population, sponsor, and various aspects related to the consent request process. The findings suggest that higher consent rates are more likely in computer assisted telephone interview (CATI) compared to self-administered surveys, in surveys sponsored by governments, in panel surveys as opposed to cross-sectional ones, and where explicit consent is sought, especially when the consent request is made at the start of the survey. This research makes a significant contribution to academic literature by empirically demonstrating the effect of various survey and consent design features on consent behavior, providing essential insights for crafting surveys to maximize consent rates for data linkage. It closes an important research gap in survey methodology and the behavior on data linkage consent, offering a unique, extensive analysis across a broad range of international surveys.
