We have checked that all the survey’s questions were included in the data base while the categories and codes on the variables correspond to those ones in the questionnaire.
Following our checks, we conclude that the data base does not show problems of inconsistency since all the variables were included. Some questions on people’s perception towards different government institutions required logic skips by country and these were conducted properly. QR located items can be found here and the revision base on the the data outcome here.
When it comes to the categories and codes of each variable, we can observe they follow the questionnaire requirements. However, the level of measuring of some variables should be changed in the database in order to avoid further problems when statistical test are ran in SPSS or other softwares.

In order to polish the data base structure, we must conduct the follwing changes:
SC6: This variable is overlapping with SC7. It contains a code to proceed with the interview, which corresponds to SC6, and at the same time, the codes for region from SC7. Please revise. Check as well level of measurement, it should be “Nominal”.
SC7: Same overlapping as SC6. We should keep just one of these variables.
Q1a_1 to Q1a_9: We have to fix the level of mesurement. Plase, change level of measurement to “Ordinal”.

The sampling method proposed was telephone interviews with interlocked quota control by gender, age and region. We contrasted the sample achieved against the proposed sample following the inter-lock quota. As well as the samples obtained were checked against the available population parameters.
We could observe that the samples achieved follow the proposed interlock quotas for gender, age and region in the 17 countries, although small skews have been observed in some markets.
Below we describe the samples obtained by market and their profile at national level:
PNG: The total sample accounts for 1025 cases. The sample follows the proposed quota by gender, age and region. At national level, the sample profile is skewed to urban areas.
Fiji: The total sample accounts for 1029 cases. The sample follows the proposed quota by gender, age and region. At national level, the sample profile is skewed to youngest.
Solomon Islands: The total sample accounts for 529 cases. The sample follows the proposed quota by gender, age and region. At national level, the sample is skewed towards urban areas.
New Caledonia: The total sample accounts for 503 cases. The sample follows the proposed quota by gender, age and region, although it is missing 4 respondents for the quota of male between 18 and 30 years old and in “Sud”. At national level, the sample is skewed towards to youngest and some regions in particular.
Vanuatu: The total sample accounts for 516 cases. The sample follows the proposed quota by gender, age and region, although it is missing 4 respondents for the quota of female between 18 and 29 years old. At national level, the sample is skewed towards to urban areas.
French Polynesia: The total sample accounts for 511 interviews. The sample follows the proposed quota by gender, age and region. At national level, the sample is skewed to rural areas. It worth to double-check the distribution of the AREA variable since it is an atypical sort of bias when we conduct telephone sampling.
Samoa: The total sample accounts for 515 interviews. The sample follows the proposed quota by gender, age and region.At national level, the sample is skewed towards to urban areas and some regions in particular.
Tonga: The total sample accounts for 504 interviews. See quotas for Ha’apai region. At national level, the sample is strongly skewed to urban areas and some regions in particular.
Cook Islands: The total sample accounts for 278 interviews. The sample is missing 8 cases in Akaoa-Betela, 5 cases in Matavera and 7 cases in Takuvaine. At national level, the sample is skewed towards to some ranges of age and slightly to urban areas.
Tuvalu: The total sample accounts for 160 interviews. The sample follows the proposed quota by gender, age and region. At national level, the sample is skewed towards to some ages in particular, as well as to urban areas.
Niue: The total sample accounts for 78 interviews. The sample follows the proposed quota by gender, age and region. At national level, the sample presents small skews on some variables due to the sample size.
FSM: The total sample accounts for 507 interviews. The sample follows the proposed quota by gender, age and region.At national level, the sample is strongly skewed towards to urban areas.
Kiribati: The total sample accounts for 507 interviews. See respondents Kiritimati, Banaba (Ocean Island) and Kuria. At national level, the sample is skewed towards to urban areas and people between 35-44 years old.
Marshall Islands: The total sample accounts for 261 cases. The sample follows the proposed quota by gender, age and region, although “other location” are represented mainly by Jaluit. At national level, the sample is skewed towards to some ages in particular and to rural areas. It worth to double-check the distribution of the AREA variable since it is an atypical sort of bias when we conduct telephone sampling.
Palau: The total sample accounts for 255 cases. The sample follows the proposed quota by gender, age and region. At national level, the sample is skewed towards rural areas and some particular ages and regions.
Nauru: The total sample accounts for 101 interviews. The sample follows the proposed quota by gender, age and region.
The levels of non-response account for important characteristics about the survey and the questionnaire. Non-response can be understood in multiple ways ranging from the comprehension of the question, the knowledge of the respondent, the degree of commitment to the exercise, the empathy created between the interviewer and the respondent as well as the quality of the data collected.
While the presence of non-response can be understood as a finding in some cases, its systematic repetition and high values may indicate problems in the collection instrument, as well as the interviewer’s lack of empathy and skills in conducting the interview.
In the previous data quality check, high levels of non-response have been found for several markets and were reported to the service provider. In this final check, a pattern of high non-response values can be observed in almost all markets, in some cases reaching worrying levels in questions referring to perceptions or skills that should not present such levels.
The detail regarding the observation by country can be found in the following link We detail below the markets with some concerning levels of “Do not Know” or “No answer”.
Fiji: There are high levels of Do not know (>10%) answers in 22 out of the 64 questions variables.

Nauru: There are high levels of Do not know (>10%) responses in 37 out of the 64 variables.
The survey was quoted for a questionnaire duration of between 15 and 20 minutes. Reviewing the average, maximum and minimum length of the interview in each market allows us to understand how efficiently and carefully the fieldwork was carried out.
Extremely short interview durations may indicate a lack of commitment on the respondent answers, as well as a lack of commitment on interviewer’s end to follow the questionnaire’s instructions properly.
On the other hand, surveys whose lengths are much longer than average may indicate a lack of respondent comprehension. According to the literature on the topic, the interviewees’ attention thresholds are between 8 and 15 minutes for CATI interviews.Some specialists speak of attention thresholds that, once exceeded, increase fatigue and the quality of the response.
Below are displayed the average, minimum, maximum LOI. As well as the duration for the first quantile and third quantile of the sample.

The interview’s time of the day helps to understand what type of respondents were collected. It is expected that the profile of respondents who are available to answer surveys during working hours will be different from those who are available to answer surveys outside of working hours. To avoid respondent bias due to the time of day when one communicates with the respondent, it is important to cover a broad spectrum of the time of day when interviews are conducted, including all possible population profiles.
In addition, this review helps to understand the interviewers’ work and account for whether the surveys were conducted at atypical times such as late at night or in the morning hours. A high number of cases in these atypical hours could indicate manipulation of the data by the interviewers.
The table below shows the number of cases surveyed by the time of day and country. In general, interviews were conducted during working hours and, to a lesser extent, outside working hours. There is only a low concentration of atypical cases collected late at night in Kiribati (38). While many markets have some cases at atypical times, the greatest concentration of interviews is conducted between 9 am and 6 pm.
