Effects of Answering Questionnaires on Attitudes and Behavior,

Abstract

This report reviews the psychological literature on the effects of answering questionnaires on individual behavior. First it reviews the data on generalized criticisms of questionnaires. Next it reviews experimental studies dealing with the effects of exposure to questionnaires on subsequent attitudes of the individual. Then, studies of the use of questionnaires by organizations and their behavioral effects are reviewed. Finally, the implications of these results for research at USMA are discussed, and several recommendations are made. (Author)
