Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing, unlike CAPI, is conducted over the telephone rather than face-to-face.
Computer-Assisted Telephone Interviewing: doing surveys - usually by phone - directly from a computer screen, with no printed questionnaire. There's also CAPI (computer-aided personal interviewing), and an emerging generic term CAI.
COMPUTER ASSISTED TELEPHONE INTERVIEWING. Telephone interviewing performed with the assistance of a computer. CATI systems are similar to CAPI systems in that the questionnaire items are displayed on line and the interviewer enters the respondent's answers with the keyboard or mouse. Most CATI systems perform other operations related to the management or collection of data by telephone. They may, for example, supply the interviewers with instructions, manage the sampling pool, schedule call attempts, record the outcomes of the calling effort, and/ or monitor the progress of the interviewers.
Computer Aided Telephone Interviewing. Using a computer and specialized software to systematically interview respondents and record their answers.
See “computer-assisted telephone interviewing.
CATI stands for computer assisted telephone interviewing. It is similar to CAPI but conducted over the phone, rather than face to face.
CAPI And Telephone Interviewing
The interviewer conducts the questionnaire by telephone and records the replies directly into a computer.
Data collection method in which researchers use random digit dialing to phone potential respondents, ask questions as directed by the computer, and key the responses directly into the system.
Interviewer-administered telephone interview using a computer-based questionnaire.
An acronym for omputer ided elephone nterviewing. The telephone interviewer has at his station a computer that has survey questions come up on screen to be asked of the survey respondent. The interviewer records the response on the computer.
Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing. A computer/telephone interface system used by Nielsen Media Research to recruit sample households.
Data capture by means of Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing.
Computer-Assisted Telephone Interviewing systems manage the survey sample for each interviewer and collect the respondent's data from the interviewer's direct entry into electronic files. (Derived from the BRFSS site http://www.cdc.gov/brfss)
A method of data gathering using programs that enable interviewers to input data directly into the system and that is adaptive based on previous answers. CATI systems allow for responses to be randomized so that the manner in which questions are asked to not prejudice the responses.
