  • Diversity in Survey Questions on the Same Topic

    Techniques for Improving Comparability

    by Tineke de Jonge, Ruut Veenhoven, Wim Kalmijn ...
    Series series Social Sciences (R0)
    This book describes why conventional methods fall short to solve the comparability problem and introduces three successive innovations to overcome these shortcomings. Comparability of results from different surveys using different items for the same topic is greatly hampered by the differences in response scales used. This reduces our accumulation of knowledge and has challenged researchers in the ... Read more
