Online researchers face whether to use radio buttons or drop downs when presenting respondents with “select one answer from many ” questions. However, empirical evidence regarding response effects does not provide direction for favoring one. Using data collected in a New Zealand gen-eral population Web survey of 2,400 people, this study contributes to the decision process by investigating format response effects at multiple levels and exploring the potential for input mechanisms to interfere with drop-down answer selection. Format choice did not significantly affect survey completions, number of nonsubstantial answers, or time to completion. However, drop downs led to higher item nonresponse and longer response times. Furthermore, the 76 % ...
