Chapter Chapter 3 in Indirect Questioning in Sample Surveys, 2013, pp 21-27 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract It will be first emphasized that no matter how a person is selected to be in the sample, an indirect procedure may be adopted to endeavor to gather sensitive data from him/her in deriving sensible estimators for population parameters along with estimated measures of their accuracies. This chapter offers a preview of the indirect questioning techniques that will be presented in subsequent chapters in more detail. The broad and rich class of Randomized Response Techniques and their rationale are presented first. Then three more techniques are discussed briefly, the Item Count Technique, the Nominative Technique, and The Three Card Method along with their rationales. The chapter ends with previews of two of the most recent indirect questioning techniques, the general class of Non Randomized Models which includes techniques where no randomization device is needed and the method of Surveying with Negative Questions where questions are asked in a negative way so that a respondent can provide one of many possible answers.
