A Logistic Regression Analysis of Utah Colleges Exit Poll Response Rates Using SAS Software
In this study I examine voter response at an interview level using a dataset of 7562 voter contacts (including responses and nonresponses) in the 2004 Utah Colleges Exit Poll. In 2004, 4908 of the 7562 voters approached responded to the exit poll for an overall response rate of 65 percent. Logistic …

The Effects of Rate Contingent Consequences and Charting on Response Rates for Two Children with Autism.
… the effects of a precision teaching package on response rates of children with autism. Prior to both experiments a preference assessment was conducted to identify high preference activities for each participant. Experiment 1 investigated whether response rates would shift as a function of …

Applying the foot-in-the-door approach to increase response rates to mailed questionnaires and to enhance donation behaviour.
… Canada, to stimulate a higher mail questionnaire response rate. In addition, the study assessed whether the intention to complete the questionnaire and its eventual return by mail would increase donations through a "foot-in-the-door" (FITD) effect during Heart and Stroke Month. Three study groups …

"Item Sampling in Service Quality Assessment Surveys to Improve Response Rates and Reduce Respondent Burden: The ""Libqual+rtm Lite"" Randomized Control Trial (Rct)"
"The matrix sampling method, the randomized control trial framework, and the statistical analysis methods outlined in the current study are useful heuristic methods for other high stakes library survey implementations whether for a physical as well as a digital library environment. These …

A Behavioral Economic Analysis of Different Reinforcers: Sound-Clips Versus Points Exchangeable for Money
… for sounds. During subsequent exposures at each response requirement, demand for sounds often decreased to a greater degree than demand for points/money. Thus, sound-clips seem less durable than points/money across prices and across repeated exposure to the same price. Response rates for …

Multiple schedules: the effects of temporal factors on behaviour
… variable-interval schedules. In all experiments response rates on each component schedule and in successive subintervals of the components were determined. Data were analysed to obtain estimates of the parameters of the Generalised Matching Law for total responding and for responding in …

The Effects of Rate of Responding on Retention, Endurance, Stability, and Application of Performance on a Match-to-sample Task.
… during training, they also make many correct responses during training. The current study used a within-subject design to analyze the effects of increased response rates on Retention, Endurance, Stability, and Application tests. Number of correct responses and number of unprompted, correct …

Effects of location, size, and animation on the response rate to a promotional Web banner
… animation were used to test their effect on the response rate to those banners. Response rates were calculated by dividing the total number of click-throughs to the banner by the total number of visits to the Web pages. In each case, a relationship existed between the variable and the response …

Sensitivity to molar contingencies of food presentation
… variable-time schedules that differed in their rates of food delivery. The "imposed" schedule was normally in effect, but lever pressing occasionally switched to the "alternate" schedule for periods averaging 30 s. Increases in food frequency afforded by switching to the alternate schedule were …

Patterning of Behavior in a Concurrent Variable-Interval Schedule as a Function of the Changeover Delay
… their temporal patterning. Findings. Changeover response rates showed a systematic change in accordance with the length of the changeover delay. Response rates showed a systematic change only for animals which were exposed to signalled changeover delays. These animals tended to engage in licking …

Effects of external contingencies on an actively caring behavior: a field test of intrinsic motivation theory
… people's intrinsic motivation to emit a desired response. The current research studied intrinsic motivation theory in a community setting by combining written commitments with external rewards, and manipulating the time at which the reward was delivered (either prior to or subsequent to task …

Within-session session changes in responding as a function of habituation vs. satiation.
Behavior analysts refer to a decrease in response rate following repeated, contingent presentations of a reinforcing stimulus as a product of satiation. Other evidence suggests that these decreases may often be due to habituation to the sensory properties of the reinforcing stimulus. The …

Identification of targetable mediators of resistance to chemotherapy in oesophageal adenocarcinoma
… in the western world in the last forty years but response rates to chemotherapy are low and survival is poor. Increased molecular understanding of this heterogeneous disease is needed to overcome resistance to chemotherapy and develop novel therapeutic strategies. This study uses gene expression …
