使用多种模式收集数据正在成为调查机构的标准做法。虽然这应该会降低成本并减少无响应误差，但可能会对测量质量产生不利影响。这在小组调查中尤其值得关注，因为小组调查的重点是衡量随时间的变化，而模式的变化可能会对关键指标产生影响。在本文中，我们使用健康与退休研究的准实验设计来比较面对面、电话和网络模式两种量表的测量质量。在 2010 年核心浪潮中，小组成员被随机分配接受电话调查或加强面对面调查，而在 2012 年核心浪潮中则相反。 2011 年，能够访问互联网的小组成员完成了一项网络调查，其中包含从核心浪潮中选出的问题。我们检查了参与所有三波的 3251 名受访者的回答，使用潜在模型来识别测量模式的影响。抑郁和身体活动这两个量表显示了访谈者管理模式（即面对面和电话）和自我管理模式（即网络）之间的系统差异。讨论了可能的解释。1
Using multiple modes to collect data is becoming a standard practice in survey agencies. While this should lower costs and reduce non-response error it may have detrimental effects on measurement quality. This is of special concern in panel surveys where a key focus is on measuring change over time and where changing modes may have an effect on key measures. In this paper we use a quasi-experimental design from the Health and Retirement Study to compare the measurement quality of two scales between face-to-face, telephone and Web modes. Panel members were randomly assigned to receive a telephone survey or enhanced face-to-face survey in the 2010 core wave, while this was reversed in the 2012 core wave. In 2011, panelists with Internet access completed a Web survey containing selected questions from the core waves. We examine the responses from 3251 respondents who participated in all three waves, using latent models to identify measurement mode effects. The two scales, depression and physical activity, show systematic differences between interviewer administered modes (i.e., face-to-face and telephone) and the self-administered one (i.e., Web). Possible explanations are discussed.1
