Answers:
1. True — Long surveys have higher break-off/dropout rates; impatient respondents commonly leave them incomplete (survey fatigue).
2. False — Length tends to decrease engagement and increase satisficing (short or thoughtless answers), not generally produce more thoughtful responses.
3. False — More questions can give more information but do not automatically produce more accurate data; length often reduces per-item quality.
4. Partly true — Paying respondents increases completion rates and can improve data quality, but it doesn’t guarantee accuracy (respondents may rush to collect payment). Use appropriate incentive design and quality checks.
