摘要 受访者经常对敏感的调查问题回答“不知道”，以避免透露他们的真实意见，尤其是在冲突后社会，因此需要做出艰难的决定来分析受影响的调查数据。在 2005 年至 2014 年期间对前苏联受冲突影响的社会进行的 10 项调查中使用了相同的五个敏感问题，提出了处理因“不知道”回答而导致数据缺失的方法。许多常用的缺失数据处理方法被证明与政治敏感问题的缺失数据机制不相容，同时也显着影响统计结果和结论。最终，了解当地情况对于选择适当的缺失数据处理至关重要。
Abstract Respondents often answer ‘don’t know’ to sensitive survey questions to avoid revealing their true opinions, especially in post-conflict societies, thus requiring difficult decisions for analysing affected survey data. Using the same five sensitive questions in ten surveys from conflict-affected societies in the former Soviet Union in the period 2005–2014, methods for coping with missing data resulting from ‘don’t know’ responses are presented. Many commonly applied missing data treatments are shown to be incompatible with the missing data mechanism for politically sensitive questions, while also significantly affecting statistical results and conclusions. Ultimately, knowledge of local context is paramount for choosing proper missing data treatments.
