在线调查在过去十年中迅速增长，现在经常用于选举研究。虽然他们有明显的优势，目前还不清楚是否数据产生的推论类似于更传统的面对面的调查，特别是当对调查的反应是与感兴趣的调查变量。根据最新的美国全国选举研究和英国选举研究的数据，我们研究了年龄如何影响政治参与，比较了面对面和在线调查的反应。结果表明，在线调查，特别是那些受访者选择参与的调查，减少了差异，高估了那些参与政治的人的比例，这对公民投票的动机产生了不同的结论。这些研究结果表明，在审查有关政治参与的问题时，需要承认选择偏见，特别是当涉及到选举调查时，这种调查依赖于选择参与小组，更有可能吸引那些对主题感兴趣的人，从而更多地参与政治。
Online surveys have seen a rapid growth in the past decade and are now frequently being used for electoral research. Although they have obvious advantages, it is unclear whether the data produce inferences similar to more traditional face-to-face surveys, particularly when response to the survey is correlated with the survey variables of interest. Drawing on data from the latest American National Election Study and British Election Study, we examine how age affects political engagement, comparing responses between face-to-face and online surveys. The results indicate that online surveys, particularly those where respondents have opted in, reduce variance and overestimate the proportion of those who are politically engaged, which produces different conclusions about what motivates citizens to vote. These findings suggest a need to acknowledge selection bias when examining questions about political engagement, particularly when it comes to election surveys that rely on opt-in panels that are more likely to attract those who are interested in the subject matter and thus more politically engaged.
