Interviewer Effects in Standardized Surveys (Version 1.0)
Abstract: Concerns about interviewer effects in interviewer-mediated surveys have accompanied survey research for a long time. As interviewers are involved in nearly all aspects of the survey implementation process, they can affect almost all types of survey errors, including sampling error, nonresponse error, measurement error, and, to a lesser extent, error resulting from the coding and editing of survey responses. Building on the existing literature, this survey guideline provides an overview of interviewer effects and their estimation. It consists of two parts: first, an introductory text using the total survey error (TSE) paradigm as a theoretical framework to provide a general overview of interviewer effects; second, a brief introduction to calculating interviewer effects using multilevel analyses
Empirical Social Research
Social science methods such as surveys, observations and content analyses are used in market research, studies of contemporary history, urban planning and communication research. They are all the more needed by sociologists and empirically working political scientists. Whether in the context of evaluating a prevention programme or for surveying health behaviour or for a study on social mobility, the confident handling of the social science instruments is always a prerequisite for obtaining reliable results. This book provides important information for users and developers of these instruments. It deals with the theoretical foundations of the methods, the steps in the conception and implement...
Frauen in der Politik
Ina E. Bieber untersucht die Unterrepräsentation von Frauen in der Politik. Im Mittelpunkt steht die Frage, ob sich Frauen in der Politik nicht beteiligen können, wollen oder sollen. Auf theoretischer und empirischer Grundlage leitet sie ein umfassendes Analyseschema her, anhand dessen die Wahlchancen der Frauen bei Bundestagswahlen im Längs- und Querschnitt und experimentell betrachtet werden. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass v. a. makrostrukturelle Faktoren (z. B. Wahlsystem, Parteien) einen zentralen Beitrag zur Erklärung der weiblichen Repräsentation leisten. Mikrostrukturelle Faktoren wie der Familienstand, typische Frauenberufe, frauenspezifische Interessen oder geschlechtsspezifische Persönlichkeitseigenschaften können diese dagegen nicht ausreichend erklären.
The Making of American Catholicism
Traces the development of Catholic cultures in the South, the Midwest, the West, and the Northeast, and their contribution to larger patterns of Catholicism in the United States Most histories of American Catholicism take a national focus, leading to a homogenization of American Catholicism that misses much of the local complexity that has marked how Catholicism developed differently in different parts of the country. Such histories often treat northeastern Catholicism, such as the Irish Catholicism of Boston, as if it reflects the full history and experience of Catholicism across the United States. The Making of American Catholicism argues that regional and transnational relationships have ...
