Respondent multitasking refers to any secondary activity performed by respondents between the time they start responding to a survey and the time they finish. We introduce, compare and evaluate different indicators of respondent multitasking in web surveys, based either on self-reports or paradata. We use paradata from an assessment survey among incoming (international) and outgoing (Slovenian) students in student exchange programmes to measure respondent multitasking. Paradata indicators show statistically higher frequencies of interruptions than self-report indicators (p ( 0.05). Based on paradata indicators, incoming/international students (who responded to a questionnaire in English language) multitasked more than outgoing/Slovenian students (questionnaire in Slovene language), while no such statistically significant differences were found with self-report indicators.
