→Populations that avoids deliberation
Prior studies typically suggest that low education, older age and male gender predict higher rates of nonresponse and attrition (cf. Fitzgerald et al. 1998; Uhrig 2008; Voogt and Kempen 2002). In one of the oldest panel surveys, the Michigan panel study of income
dynamics, those who drop out tend to have lower education and lower SES than those who stay in (Fitzgerald et al. 1998, p. 50). (Uhrig 2008, p. 20–47.)While the effect of low income proves to be the opposite in Britain versus the US, low education level predicts attrition in both contexts (ibid.). In longitudinal experimental research, on the other hand, high SES (social economic status) seems to have a negative relationship with attrition (Hooghe et al. 2010).... In DPs, especially highly educated and politically active participants
have been overrepresented (Farrar et al. 2010, p. 347).... it turned out that despite large efforts to recruit a representative sample of the population white, older, highly educated individuals and those working in jobs that require higher occupational skills were slightly overrepresented in the assembly (James 2008, p. 113).
