以前对纵向调查中无反应的相关性和决定因素的研究只关注于为什么在一次调查浪潮中的受访者选择不参与未来的浪潮。如果无反应总是一种吸引人的状态，这是非常可以理解的，但在许多纵向调查中，当然在大多数家庭面板中，情况并非如此。事实上，在这些调查中，在下一波浪潮中试图与许多未回答的人取得联系是正常的做法。这项研究不同于以往的研究，它考察了与前一波非受访者重新接触的过程。根据三个国家家庭小组的数据，我们发现，重新参与的决定确实与继续参与的决定明显不同。此外，鉴于希望提高总体回复率，这些差异对小组调查的管理方式有明显的影响。
Previous research into the correlates and determinants of non-response in longitudinal surveys has focused exclusively on why it is that respondents at one survey wave choose not to participate at future waves. This is very understandable if non-response is always an absorbing state, but in many longitudinal surveys, and certainly most household panels, this is not the case. Indeed, in these surveys it is normal practice to attempt to make contact with many non-respondents at the next wave. This study differs from previous research by examining the process of re-engagement with previous wave non-respondents. Drawing on data from three national household panels it is found that the re-engagement decision is indeed distinctly different from the decision about continued participation. Further, these differences have clear implications for the way panel surveys should be administered given the desire to enhance overall response rates.
