Survey research used to be preceded by pilot studies. This article shows how one can combine two kinds of them, namely: pre-test and trial study. Pre-tests are carried out on small samples, and their results are analyzed in qualitative way. Trial studies are conducted on samples of several hundred cases and collected data are subjected to quantitative analyses. Original methodology established in pilot study for the European Social Survey combines quantitative and qualitative analyses and allows to overcome constraints met when the pre-test and trial study are carried out separately

In Poland, like in other countries, participation in surveys is declining over time. The growing non-response rates increase a risk of systematic bias of the results depending on the differences between non-respondents and respondents. In this article we attempt to assess how different are non-respondents from the survey participants in Poland. In approaching this question we refer to the two basic hypotheses concerning non-responses. The first hypothesis concerns the relationship between participation in surveys and the socio-economic status (SES); the second hypothesis concerns relationship between the participation and social involvement/social isolation, and liberalism/conservatism. These hypotheses are tested using data from the pilot study of the European Social Survey 2004 and the main ESS 2004. Our analyses reveal that both the socio-demographic and the socio-psychological characteristics of individuals affect the non-response in Poland in a specific way.
