ITEM NONRESPONSE REASONS AND EFFECTS

Abstract

ABSTRACT

In survey researches a distinction between two major types of missing data in surveys due to nonresponse had been made. First type is, unit nonresponse; for some sample units no entire data is available. The second type is, item nonresponse; sample unit or units have missing data for one or more questions or variables (1, 2, 3). In this study, item nonresponse and its sources, reasons and what it caused was tried to be investigated. It has seen that, on nonresponse question structure, question content and respondent factors have important effects.
