Respondent Jeopardy in Randomized Response Procedures,

Abstract

Randomized response procedures allegedly provide a respondent in a sample survey with a framework in which he can safely give truthful responses without fear of jeopardizing his own interests. Certain designs, however, offer protection only in a superficial sense. In this article the four major such procedures are re-examined with particular attention toward controlling the jeopardy to the truthful respondent. A measure of jeopardy is defined, the procedures are compared at equal levels of jeopardy and a best design is determined within the class of procedures considered.
