在过去的20年里，跨国调查在研究政治和社会背景如何塑造态度和行为方面的价值得到了证明。它们的脆弱性，如度量等价性，也受到了相当大的关注。对于田野调查时间的变化可能会如何影响数据质量，人们关注得较少。我们调查了在选举周期中进行调查的时机如何影响调查合作和满意度。对于一些指标，我们发现支持背景效应，因为随着选举的临近，不愿合作和满意的程度减少，这种影响在政治上感兴趣的人中更加明显。我们的结果对跨国调查研究和竞选效果研究都有影响，因为在选举附近进行实地调查可以改变数据质量，竞选活动可以影响行为，但也可以影响与调查的合作。
The value of cross-national surveys in examining how political and social contexts shape attitudes and behavior has been demonstrated over the past 20 years. Their vulnerabilities, such as measurement equivalence, have also received considerable attention. Less attention has been paid to the how variations in the timing of the fieldwork may affect data quality. We investigate how the timing of the survey in the electoral cycle may affect survey cooperation and satisficing. For some indicators, we find support for a context effect in that reluctance to cooperate and satisficing decrease as an election approaches, and this effect is more pronounced among the politically interested. Our results have implications for both cross-national survey research and campaign effects studies in that conducting fieldwork close to an election can alter data quality and campaigns can influence behaviour but also cooperation with surveys.
