Version: January 7, 2019 Diary 2017 questionnaire – uas106 There are comments on some of the section headings telling us where these responses would go in the accounting financial statements, for example: “Balance sheet/Assets”. Any time a diarist takes 2 or more diaries, keep the same randomization across all the diaries that they take In this document, there are some areas which are shaded for various reasons o RED STRIKETHRU – Text was deleted or moved to another location o YELLOW – New text or new programming instructions o GREEN – Place holder for discussion or new items which are not yet approved, questions or concepts to be revised, areas for discussion. o In addition, programing instructions are usually in red text and I’ll start them with a comment marker like this ## Hello this is an instruction or comment 1) Pre-Day 0 ## Reminders: HAVE THE VENDOR SEND EMAIL REMINDERS TO TAKE THE SCPC EACH DAY FOR 3 DAYS LEADING UP TO THE DIARY DAY ## Send reminder email to the respondent each diary day (0, 1, 2, and 3). The email should remind the respondent to remember to participate in the diary and to log on each night. ## Variables to pull in from the SCPC: pa001_a, pa001_b, baadopter o These are number of checking accounts, number of savings accounts, and flag for bank account adoption pa008 questions, dcadopter o pa008_a1, _a2, _a3, pa008_b1, _b2, _b3 o These are the responses to the number of debit cards and number of ATM cards. DCADOPTER is the created variable that controls the flow of later parts of the survey. ccadopter o This created variable controls the flow of the survey for those respondents with credit cards Pcadopter, GPRADOPTER o These variables have to do with prepaid cards and general purpose prepaid card adoption. moadopter ©2010–2017 Federal Reserve Bank of Boston.

DE013 o If de013 = 1 then respondent owns primary home, if de013 = 2 then they do not own home. pa001_d1, pa048 o If pa001_d1 = YES then the respondent has a Paypal account o pa048 asks how the payment account is funded. We are interested in response option 4, “money stored with payment service” 2) Day 0 Intro/Welcome screen IF diarist logs on and SCPC IS INCOMPLETE, THEN SHOW WARNING: It is important that you take the Survey of Consumer Payment Choice (SCPC) before participating in this Diary. Please click here to take the SCPC. After you take the SCPC, you will be able to continue participating this Diary. ## This “Day 0” section contains items that we need to ask the night before the respondent begins the diary. Items that are in this module are “time sensitive” meaning that they have to be asked before the diarist starts recording their payments and transactions. ## Intro screen Thank you for agreeing to participate in the 2017 Diary of Consumer Payment Choice on [ADD SPACE HERE] [DISPLAY DIARY DAY 1 HERE, example “Wednesday, October 3”] to [DISPLAY DIARY DAY 3 HERE, example “Wednesday, October 3”]. [ADD SPACE HERE] Today, [ADD SPACE HERE] [DISPLAY DIARY DAY 0 HERE, example “Wednesday, October 3”], [ADD SPACE HERE] you will be answering a 10-minute survey that helps us prepare for your answers during the next three days. Please answer these questions at the end of the day today. Tomorrow, [ADD SPACE HERE] ©2010–2017 Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. Proprietary and Confidential. Do not release or disclose to unauthorized parties without the prior written consent of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. 2 Version: January 7, 2019 [DISPLAY DIARY DAY 1 HERE, example “Wednesday, October 3”], [ADD SPACE HERE] we will ask you about purchases, payments, and cash activity. Please record all of payment behavior, including days with zero payments or no cash activity. Your diary responses will be used for research purposes only. 3) Account ownership – import from SCPC ## This section will be replaced by the Accounts Module in the SCPC. If the respondent has already taken the SCPC, then we don’t need to ask any of the questions about account ownership or adoption. We will import their answers from the SCPC and maybe give them a screen which says “Is everything correct?” ## Here we want to build new variables that are a combination of the SCPC variables if they exist, or the new DCPC variables if they are not missing. We’ll use these variables to control the flow of certain questions later in the online diary questionnaire. First we must initialize the variables. dcpc_pa001_a = SCPC variable pa001_a dcpc_dcadopter = SCPC variable dcadopter dcpc_ccadopter = SCPC variable ccadopter dcpc_gpradopter = SCPC variable gpradopter sbldc_adopter = SCPC variable sbldc_adopter dcpc_paypaladopter = 0 IF scpc variables pa001_d1 = YES and pa048_d1 = YES (“money stored…”) then dcpc_paypaladopter = 1 IF diarist has already taken SCPC: (qday0_scpcintro) Previously, you took another survey called the Survey of Consumer Payment Choice.
