Abstract
In August 2009, the LISS panel was presented the questionnaire on Culture and Society. The questionnaire was presented to four different groups, namely 1) non-western immigrants of non-Turkish background, 2) first and second generation Turkish immigrants, 3) a control group consisting of native Dutch, and 4) a control group consisting of native Dutch and western immigrants.
The way in which questions were presented in the questionnaire was subject to experimentation. Within a cluster of questions, part of the respondents was offered the opportunity to explain the answer they gave to a multiple-choice question.
A second experiment involved the presentation of the questionnaire in a different layout. The questionnaire was unchanged in terms of content.
