Fit for Purpose - Summary
Overall, the difference in the subjective user evaluation

The disadvantages of Text input fields are notable
-
Still, overall, respondents rated the question types
+ positively
Limitations
- Retrospective Survey
- General assumptions regarding question content and
questionnaire length should be examined further

25. Summary
Technical Requirements & Restrictions
- Efficiency of Design- and Implementation Technology for Mobile
surveys
- Diversity on the part of network providers and handset manufacturers
(Data transfer rates, Display of content): Pre tests required!
Display of content
- All common question types: Positive ratings by respondents
Usability Rating
- Different perception with regard to scrolling effort, ease of use,
unintended answers and fluency
- Relative disadvantage of text input questions and partly with Drop-
Down-Menus
- Variation of respondents subjective perceptions and objective
usability properties particular with regard to question type with pictures
25
26. Outlook
Future research topics:
1 Robustness of results for a variety of topics?
Influence of participation context on mobile survey
2 error dimensions largely unexplored.
Development of perceived barriers in light of
3 technological developments (more advanced
devices, such as smartphones; flatrates): Cost
concerns may disappear, usability ratings may go up,
broader applicability possible.
