Individual
Cross sectional
This survey was implemented using the LimeSurvey v.2.0 online (open source) surveying software platform with a sample of 209 'experts' defined as academics involved in teaching politics or undertaking research on Czech parties and elections. The expert respondents were sent 3 email reminders during late November, December 2013, and January 2014. For the expert survey, the response rate was about 25% for fully completed questionnaires and about 44% for incomplete questionnaires.
As an informal experiment, the research team also fielded the same survey to non-experts or citizens interested in politics using social networks (Facebook) and the institutes website to recruit respondents. This was a completely separate survey and did not interfere in any way with the main study. A total of 95 individuals responded to this survey. The main purpose of this informal research was to see if the experts' scores are significantly different of 'well-informed' (non-academic) citizens. This survey research revealed that many non-experts started the online survey relative few completed it - the completion rate was about 11%. In contrast, the completion rate for experts was about 25%. This differential suggests that experts have more 'patience' in completing a set of party policy items that took about 30 minutes to complete.
