Abstract
An imputation procedure is used to estimate the effects of nonresponse on issues of substantive interest in a social survey. Using this method, one can determine that nonresponse bias may have differential effects on variable means, depending on the combination of independent variables used in the ensuing substantive analysis of data from the survey.

A technique which combines the advantages of both procedures is indicated, and under reasonable assumptions as to the relative costs of the two methods of canvass, an allocation of the sample can be made to mail and field canvasses.

The initial evidence shows that city of residence accounts for significant proportions of variance in a wide range of attitudes-proportions not greatly different from those accounted for by five individual background variables (age, sex, education, income, and occupation) and largely independent of these background variables.
