Pretests also give the surveyor a chance to estimate the length of time required for administration and to experi ment with sampling procedures, particularly the tech nique that will be used to select a member of a household. Of course, pretests also provide an excellent training opportu nity for all personnel involved in the survey. One caveat is necessary here: It is possible to pretest too much. That is, seeking advice fro m others can be counterpro ductive, particularly when those individuals want to add some questions on their favorite topics or provide very, very detailed critiques.
Each person who receives a preletter should feel that he or she has been singled out for this interview and that his or her opin ion is crucial to the study. Personalization of preletters through individualized salutations, original (not "rubber stamp") signatures, and individually typed or printed envelopes has been shown to stimulate response, particu larly from somewhat reluctant respondents. Of course, per sonalization is expensive to implement and cannot always be done for very large samples.
