Validating an Index of Selection Bias for Proportions in Non-probability Samples

Fast online surveys without sampling frames are becoming increasingly important in survey research. Their recruitment methods result in non-probability samples. As the mechanism of data generation is always unknown in such samples, the problem of non-ignorability arises making vgeneralisation of calculated statistics to the population of interest highly questionable. Sensitivity analyses provide a ...

The German Socio-Economic Panel Study is a representative panel study for the German population, collecting data on a broad variety of topics of everyday life, including general well-being, household composition, educational aspirations and educational status, income and occupational biographies, leisure time activities, housing, health, political orientation and more. With its long running panel...

Video-interviewing as part of a targeted multi-mode design in household panel surveys (CALVI)

To ensure continued survey participation and data quality, the survey landscape must adapt to the changing social reality, especially with regard to mobility and digitalization. This requires survey researchers to move from one-size-fits-all solutions to a data collection strategy that takes into account people's communication habits, abilities and preferences. For several decades, computer...

Surveying Panel Participants’ Network Members: Integration of Egocentric Data Collection and Respondent-Driven Sampling

Individuen sind in soziale Kontexte eingebettet, diesem Umstand versuchen bereits viele großangelegte, themenübergreifende sozialwissenschaftliche Befragungen gerecht zu werden – dies gelingt aber bislang nur bedingt. Das Vorhaben dieser Studie besteht darin, die bestehenden Datenerfassungsstrategien – Umfragedesigns für multiple Akteure (MA) und Fragebogenmodule für egozentrierte Netzwerke (ECN)...

Surveying Panel Participants’ Network Members: Integration of Egocentric Data Collection and Respondent-Driven Sampling

Individuals are embedded in social contexts: although many large-scale, cross-thematic social science surveys already attempt to do justice to this fact, so far research has only been partially successful. The aim of this study is to supplement and improve the existing data collection strategies - survey designs for multiple actors (MA) and questionnaire modules for egocentric networks (ECN) -...

Cookbooks, Guidance, and Best Practice: Working Group Charter (NFDI Section-metadata) ; (Meta)data, Terminologies, Provenance

Forschende brauchen auf ihre spezifischen Bedürfnisse zugeschnittene Hilfestellungen bei der Ermittlung und Anwendung von Standards und Werkzeugen für (Meta)Daten, Terminologien und Provenienz. Jedes NFDI-Konsortium identifiziert, sammelt und entwickelt Ansätze, die für Forschungsaktivitäten außerhalb der einzelnen Domänen relevant sein könnten. Die Arbeitsgruppe "Cookbooks, Guidance, and Best Practices" ...

Individual Differences in Short-term Social Dynamics: Theoretical Perspective and Empirical Development of the Social Dynamics Scale

People have a need to form and maintain fulfilling social contact, yet they differ with respect to with whom they satisfy the need and how quickly this need is deprived or overly satiated. These social dynamics across relationships and across time are theoretically delineated in the current article. Furthermore, we developed a questionnaire to measure individual differences in three aspects of such ...

Video-interviewing as part of a targeted multi-mode design in household panel surveys (CALVI)

Um die kontinuierliche Teilnahme an und Datenqualität von Umfragen sicherzustellen, muss sich die Umfragelandschaft an die sich verändernde gesellschaftliche Realität anpassen, insbesondere im Hinblick auf Mobilität und Digitalisierung. Dies erfordert, dass Umfrageforschende von Einheitslösungen zu einer Datenerhebungsstrategie übergehen, die die Kommunikationsgewohnheiten, Fähigkeiten und...

Heteroskedastic Proxy Vector Autoregressions: An Identification-Robust Test for Time-Varying Impulse Responses in the Presence of Multiple Proxies

We propose a test for time-varying impulse responses in heteroskedastic structural vector autoregressions that can be used when the shocks are identified by external proxy variables as a group but not necessarily individually. The test is robust to the identification scheme for identifying the shocks individually and can be used even if the shocks are not identified individually. The asymptotic analysis ...
