1. True — Long surveys have higher breakoff and abandonment rates and more respondent fatigue, so they are commonly left incomplete.
2. False — Longer surveys do not reliably produce more accurate data; they often increase measurement error (fatigue, satisficing, careless answers).
3. False — Length tends to reduce engagement and thoughtful responding for many participants, not increase it (unless you specifically screen for or recruit highly motivated respondents).
4. False (with caveat) — Payment increases completion rates, but it does not guarantee—or always improve—answer accuracy; it can sometimes encourage speeded or low-quality responding unless combined with appropriate quality controls.
