Description of Cognitive Interview Participant Recruitment Process


Advertisement:

The cognitive interviews will be advertised at a variety of locations and through a variety of media in the Research Triangle Park and Washington, D.C. areas to maximize exposure to diverse postsecondary student populations, such as:

  • Central locations at colleges, universities and other postsecondary institutions;

  • Community locations such as coffee shops;

  • College/university and city newspapers; and

  • Online resources such as the RTI Intranet classifieds and Craigslist.org.


The advertisements will describe the purpose of the cognitive interviews and details of participation, including the time commitment, incentive for participation, and RTI-PRISM contact information. A sample flyer is presented below.


Recruitment:

Students who are interested in participating in a cognitive interview will be asked to call RTI to complete a brief screening interview to determine eligibility. Eligible participants will be those determined to be first-time beginning students (FTB) in the desired institution types with a range of demographic characteristics and education experiences.

The cognitive interview participants will be selected to reflect the following characteristics:


Institution type:

4‑year,

2‑year, and

Less-than-2‑year.


Participants within each group will be selected to provide a range of FTB student types across the following demographic variables:


  • Age;

  • Sex; and

  • Degree program.


For each institution level, approximately 48 students (16 per institution type) will be recruited to ensure the desired number of participants (30 students total, approximately 10 participants per institution type.)

Introduction

You are being asked to participate in a cognitive interview which is part of a larger research study sponsored by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) of the U.S. Department of Education.

NPSAS:12 Field Test Survey Specifications


Notes:


• Cognitive testing will focus on 15 items that have been revised since our last clearance, based on the results of field test data collection. The basic constructs tested for each of these highlighted items will remain the same as they were during the field test, but we will use probing on these items and feedback from cognitive interviews to determine more efficient and effective ways to ask the items of respondents. Item content may iterate through cognitive testing as improvements are identified.



• We will administer the entire student interview during the cognitive interviews to provide respondents with context for the highlighted items, though the majority of the cognitive interviewing time will be spent probing respondents on the highlighted items. We will also accept and consider any feedback from cognitive interview respondents on improvement for all interview items.
