Discussion Post: Research- National Do Not Call Registry
"The U.S. Congress passed a law setting up a National Do Not Call Registry. By law, salespeople may not call numbers listed on this registry, but charities and researchers can still call these numbers. However, a recent Internet survey showed that less than 25% of respondents knew that researchers "are allowed to call," and over half (63%) weren't sure about researchers' rights under the law".
Use your recent knowledge and provide the answer to the followings:
1) Was an online survey the best medium for a poll on this subject?
2) What were some pros and cons of conducting this poll online?
3) How might the results have differed if this poll had been conducted by telephone?
4) As a researcher, how would you address people's doubts about whether pollsters may contact households listed on the Do Not Call Registry?
The response must include a reference list. Using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, double-space, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
