Asking Sensitive Questions “A question is sensitive when it asks for a socially undesirable answer, when it asks, in effect, that the respondent admits he or she has violated a social norm” (Tourangeau/Yan 2007: 860). Some respondents are unwilling to give truthful self-reports to sensitive questions. They distort their answers towards the social norm. This leads to social desirability bias in prevalence estimates of the sensitive behavior (e.g. systematic underestimation). Dejeopardizing question techniques such as Randomized Response (RRT, Warner 1965) were proposed to reduce social desirability bias in sensitive self-reports. We will present results for a further technique called the Crosswise Model (Yu et al. 2008) which, to our knowledge, has not yet been empirically evaluated.
