This collection of 22 articles explores advances in the use of cognitive psychology and other sciences (statistics, sociology, behavioral sciences, anthropology, linguistics, and computer science) to improve the quality of data collected in surveys. In their articles the authors explain basic concepts and methodologies and demonstrate the application of cognitive theory to all phases of survey research, including data processing, analysis, presentation, and administration. They describe useful cognitive models used in survey testing and design and also discuss the expanding role of computer technologies and statistical advances in the interdisciplinary aspects of survey methods. The material is subdivided into four sections. Section A provides an overview on the history and status of the Cognitive Aspects of Survey Methodology (CASM) movement and a critical appraisal of its achievements and some remaining gaps. Section B discusses the effects of the CASM movement on cognitive theory and survey measurement. Section C contains chapters that examine the potential roles of disciplines other than classical cognitive psychology in survey methods research. Section D presents chapters that suggest new areas of CASM research beyond the phase of data collection. Clearly written and supplemented with extensive references, this monograph is an indispensable guide for statisticians and professionals, who would like to be at the cutting edge of interdisciplinary survey methods research.
