How Does the General Population Think About Smart Surveys?

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: The New Ways of Measuring (NWM) or ‘smart perceptions’ survey has been conducted in three countries (Italy, the Netherlands, and Slovenia) between September 2023 and February 2024. The aims of the survey were to find clues for improving nudge-to-smart fieldwork strategies, to inform legal officers, and to understand country differences in doing so. The NWM consisted of a two-step approach with a questionnaire on digital skills, hypothetical willingness and corresponding perceptions, and a ‘smart’ survey including four smart features. We find differences both between countries and between types of features, but also commonalities. We discuss the survey results and provide recommendations for future smart surveys.
