Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is the identification of factors affecting willingness to cooperate with the interviewer in face-to-face contact depending on the intensity of activities to stimulate participation in the study. The analysis was based on the results of a survey car-ried out in 2013 on random sample about 34 thousand of Polish households. Non-contact and non-cooperation were considered separately in the study. To assess the impact of selected features of the head of a household on the probability to cooperate in subsequent attempts undertaken by the interviewer (max. 5) multinominal logistic regression models were used. The results indicate that the course of attempts to make contact is associated in a significant way with the majority of socio-economic characteristics of households. It turned out that important are both the environment of randomly selected individuals and their socio-economic characteristics that shape their attitudes towards the research process but the realization of interview is determined by the demographic characteristics of the units.
