    The GSS is conducted in face-to-face interviews or over the phone. Krysan found in a 1995 study that when people were surveyed anonymously through the mail, they were more likely to express less favorable attitudes toward racial equality. “The more privacy you give a white person to express their attitudes, the less liberal they become,” she said.

Hence the Internet. "Give a man a mask" and all that.
