“…The response rates for the different participating countries are all situated between 10% and 20%. Although these response rates are rather low, they are not uncommon for web surveys (Fricker 2008;Muñoz-Leiva et al 2010;Smyth and Pearson 2011), especially among an over-surveyed group such as higher education students (Sax, Gilmartin, and Bryant 2003;Van Mol 2017). Students could complete the survey in three languages, namely Dutch, English or Spanish.…”

Since the initiation of the Erasmus programme in 1987, intra-European student exchanges in higher education are expected to promote a sense of European identity and citizenship among European exchange students. Panel studies grasping students' identification before and after participating in an exchange programme, however, remain remarkably scarce today. Moreover, the few existing studies report conflicting results. This paper adds to this debate, presenting the results of a survey conducted in 2009 and 2010 among non-exchange and exchange students from thirteen European countries, based on a pretest -posttest nonequivalent groups design (n = 400). My analyses did not find any statistically significant differences over time within and between the groups of exchange and non-exchange students, and neither between students with similar identification scores at wave 1. Finally, an analysis of the relationship between social network types and identification patterns did also not yield any significant results. Altogether, these findings suggest the impact of European exchange programmes on European citizenship and a sense of European identity is relatively limited.

“…Rather, responses from a non-probability sample such as the one adopted here can be still useful in developing hypothesis in exploratory research: according to Fricker Finally, good practice demands that to avoid response bias researchers should find out if respondents are different from non-respondents in some way that is relevant to the survey (Denscombe, 2010). However, it seems that there is no way to assess nonresponse bias in internet surveys due to lack of information about those that choose not to complete a survey (Fricker, 2008).…”

Online surveys is an essential research tool that are being applied in variety of research fields, including marketing, social and official statistics research and hence are one of the most popular data collection technique. Some people fill it genuinely and some do it randomly. Data collected through samples that are not filled genuinely may affect the analysis of the collected samples considerably. This paper proposes a preprocessing technique to select the samples that have genuine responses in order to make sure the final data collected from the survey is more precise and accurate. For this purpose the time duration an individual takes to provide his/her opinion to each question in questionnaire is captured. This captured time is used to check the percentage of questions that fall between the time ranges computed for each question using the proposed algorithm to indicate if the sample was filled genuinely. In doing so the samples that are found to be genuinely responded to, can be given more weight-age while analyzing the survey or randomly filled samples can be eliminated.
