Two nonoverlapping random samples of 200 sorority women reported stigmatizing behaviors differentially, according to survey technique. The 2 survey methods were direct questioning and randomized response. The randomized response technique guaranteed privacy of confidential information via a randomizing device and hence reduced respondents' inclination to refuse to respond or to lie. Survey items varied in degrees of sensitivity. For each item, a t test compared proportions of respondents admitting to the stigmatizing characteristic when queried directly and when queried via a randomizing device. Less sensitive questions showed no difference between the 2 data-collection methods. More sensitive questions showed a greater proportion of Ss reporting stigmatizing behaviors when guaranteed privacy of information with the randomized response technique. This field test confirmed the utility of the randomized response technique as a versatile method of collecting more accurate confidential information.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
