Modes of data collection

The article lists six modes of data collection, viz.

  • Telephone
  • Mail (post)
  • Online surveys
  • Personal in-home surveys
  • Personal mall or street intercept survey
  • Hybrids of the above

However, the cited source Mellenbergh (2008:191) only provides four:

  • Face-to-face
  • Telephone
  • Mail (post)
  • Computer

The source(s) for the other modes should be specified, or are they original research? – RossJ81 Talk/Cont 11:34, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
