Fragebogen
Dieses Buch ist ein „Praxisbuch“ im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes. Es soll Forscherinnen und Forschern, die sich bei ihrer empirischen Forschungsarbeit sozialwissenschaftlicher Befragungen bedienen wollen, Hilfestellung geben bei der Entwicklung ihrer Fragebogen, ganz konkret und im Detail. In dem Buch wird Fragebogenberatung simuliert, wie sie der Autor viele Jahre lang am Zentrum für Umfragen, Methoden und Analysen (ZUMA) in Mannheim durchgeführt hat, sehr praktisch und so geschrieben, dass die Leserinnen und Leser damit arbeiten können, wenn sie einen Fragebogen entwickeln, mit vielen Beispielen, wie man etwas falsch und wie man es richtig machen kann. Nach einer kurzen Einführung in die kognitionspsychologischen und kommunikativen Grundlagen der Befragung werden eine Vielzahl methodischer Aspekte eines Fragebogens abgearbeitet, von Arten von Fragen, Arten von Skalen und der Formulierung von Fragebogenfragen bis hin zu einer guten Titelseite, zu Befragungshilfen und zum Layout von Fragebogen, alles illustriert durch Beispiele aus der Umfragepraxis.
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...

Improving Survey Methods
This state-of-the-art volume provides insight into the recent developments in survey research. It covers topics like: survey modes and response effects, bio indicators and paradata, interviewer and survey error, mixed-mode panels, sensitive questions, conducting web surveys and access panels, coping with non-response, and handling missing data. The authors are leading scientists in the field, and discuss the latest methods and challenges with respect to these topics. Each of the book’s eight parts starts with a brief chapter that provides an historical context along with an overview of today’s most critical survey methods. Chapters in the sections focus on research applications in practi...
Innovation and Reflexivity in the Research Process
What makes the difference between excellent and mediocre research? The answer is scientific rigor and innovation based on creativity. For both, critical reflexivity is essential for delivering research with uniqueness, high quality and impact. However, reflexivity is generally not taught as a subject in universities, and there are limited books exploring reflexivity in the research process. Addressing this gap, and designed for beginners, this book provides an accessible model on reflexivity for all its applications during the research process, from the first idea to the finished paper, book or thesis. It includes a number of graphics, tables, samples and checklists to make the concept easy to grasp and apply. It will support students in writing their first scientific assignments and can assist in the more complex research projects of experienced and postdoctoral researchers, and PhD students.
Interviewers' Deviations in Surveys
Survey data are used in many disciplines including Social Sciences, Economics and Psychology. Interviewers' behaviour might affect the quality of such data. This book presents the results of new research on interviewers' motivation and behaviour. A substantial number of contributions address deviant behaviour, methods for assessing the impact of such behaviour on data quality and tools for detecting faked interviews. Further chapters discuss methods for preventing undesirable interviewer effects. Apart from specific methodological contributions, the chapters of the book also provide a unique collection of examples of deviant behaviour and its detection - a topic not overly present in literature despite its substantial prevalence in survey field work. The volume includes 13 peer reviewed papers presented at an international workshop in Rauischholzhausen in October 2011.
Anti-Semitism in Germany
The surrender of Nazi Germany in 1945 marked the end of an epoch during which anti-Semitism escalated into genocide. In the immediate aftermath of World War II, Nazi racist ideology was discredited morally and politically, and the Allied occupation forces prohibited its dissemination in public. However, there was no overnight transformation of individual anti-Semitic attitudes among the public at large. Most surveys conducted since 1946 have confirmed the persistence of massive anti-Semitism in Germany both in the democratic West and the communist East. Based on all empirical survey data available up to now, this volume offers a thorough comparative analysis of anti-Semitism in Germany, and ...
Immigration and Public Opinion in Liberal Democracies
Leading international experts and aspiring researchers from the fields of political science and sociology use a range of case studies from North America, Europe and Australia to guide the reader through the complexities of this debate offering an unprecedented comparative examination of public opinion and immigration.
