Februar 2015 um 11:13 Uhr > Von: "Maximilian Eibl" <eibl(a)INFORMATIK.TU-CHEMNITZ.DE> > An: WISS-ORG(a)LISTSERV.DFN.DE > Betreff: [WISS-ORG] CfP - Special Issue on Interdisciplinary Approaches to Social Technologies > > Call for Papers > > i-com Journal on Interactive and Cooperative Media > Special Issue on Interdisciplinary Approaches to Social Technologies > > Submission Deadline: March 31, 2015 > Link to HTML-Version:http://crossworlds.info/call-for-papers/ > > Interactive media increasingly have a strong social impact on current societies. While some technologies such as smartphones already enable us to experience new ways to interact in social environments, other technologies such as large scale multi touch surfaces, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality glasses, and intelligent software are at the verge of driving these experiences even further. This new type of social technologies includes both technologies interacting with users themselves (e.g. social robots, virtual agents, assistance systems) and technologies that facilitate the interaction between two or more users (e.g. tutor systems, multiplayer games, multi touch tables). > > These multifaceted topics in the context of human computer interaction combine know-how from different fields of research or disciplines concerned with human factors, social interaction, computer science, or engineering. While interdisciplinary approaches benefit from more diverse perspectives on the respective technology they often face conceptual, methodological, or even cultural challenges. Diverse strategies can be employed, both to maximize the benefits of interdisciplinary research, and to minimize misunderstandings or problems. At the same time, successful cooperations can serve as showcases for best practices for future endeavors. > > Keeping these challenges in mind, we invite scientists and practitioners from interdisciplinary research groups to submit papers for a special issue on interdisciplinary approaches in the context of social technologies addressing one or more of the following topics. > > - research prototypes und approaches to social technology > - theoretical and methodological approaches and challenges > - perspectives on interdisciplinary HCI research > - natural user interfaces (e.g. touch, tangible or gesture-based interaction) > - virtual and augmented reality (e.g. applications for health care, therapy, entertainment or learning) > - communication and interaction in video games or serious games > - spatial and perceptual illusions in collaborative display technologies (e.g. spatial mapping) > - ethical and societal Implications of social technologies > - recognition and prediction of users’ intentions > - impact of users’ moods and emotions on human computer interaction or human robot interaction > - ... > > Submission Guidelines > > We are open to review/position papers as well as original research.

Hinweis: Datenarchivierung im GESIS-Service "datorium"
by O. Arránz Becker 05 Jan '15

05 Jan '15

Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen, ich möchte Sie hiermit auf den neuen GESIS-Service datorium aufmerksam machen. Auch außerhalb der großen Umfrageprogramme produzieren viele Kolleginnen und Kollegen Forschungsdaten. Aber was passiert eigentlich nach Abschluss des Projekts/nach Veröffentlichung der Ergebnisse mit diesen Daten? Mit datorium bietet GESIS einen entsprechenden Service, der das Veröffentlichen von Daten erleichtern und natürlich auch befördern soll. Datenproduzenten wird eine Plattform geboten, ihre wertvollen Daten zu sichern und diese mit anderen in zitierfähiger Form zu teilen. Eine dauerhafte Lokalisierung und verlässliche Zitierbarkeit der Forschungsdaten wird durch persistente digitale Identifikatoren (DOI) gewährleistet. Datensuchende finden hier zukünftig ein reichhaltiges Angebot interessanter und nachnutzbarer Forschungsdaten, beispielsweise für Sekundärstudien oder für Replikationsstudien zur Überprüfung von Forschungsergebnissen. Derweil können Sie selbst bestimmen, welchen Nutzenden von datorium der Zugriff auf die Daten erlaubt ist. Nicht nur die Forschungsförderer, sondern zunehmend auch Journale legen Wert darauf, dass die einer Publikation zugrunde liegenden Daten in entsprechenden Repositorien zugänglich gemacht werden. Weitere Informationen, etwa Flyer, Poster oder Präsentationen zu datorium finden Sie auf der Website: https://datorium.gesis.org/xmlui/?publication. Wir würden uns sehr freuen, Sie und Ihre Daten bei datorium begrüßen zu dürfen. Einige Kolleginnen und Kollegen haben diese Möglichkeit schon genutzt: https://datorium.gesis.org/xmlui/discover. Gerne stehen wir für Fragen und zur Unterstützung zur Verfügung: Natascha Schumann (natascha.schumann(a)gesis.org) Stefan Müller (stefan.mueller(a)gesis.org) https://datorium.gesis.org Beste Grüße und alles Gute für 2015!

Fwd: ESRA 2015: CfP "Using Survey Data for Spatial Analysis"
by Stefanie Eifler 16 Dec '14

16 Dec '14

*Subject:*ESRA 2015: CfP "Using Survey Data for Spatial Analysis" Dear Colleagues, we invite submissions to our session on "Using Survey Data for Spatial Analysis" at the 6^th Conference of the European Survey Research Association (ESRA) in Reykjavik, Iceland, 13-17 July 2015. The session aims at exploring new developments in spatial meethods, seeing space either as dependent or independent variable: Researchers can ask how people think about space and construct space or they can see space as a relevant frame for social action that influences social life. Papers address one of the questions below either at a more general methodological level or using a concrete example in a specific research project: (1) How can survey data be used for spatial analysis? Can they be used by themselves, or do they have to be mixed with other data, e.g. geodata, qualitative data? (2) What methodological innovations concerning the spatial can be observed? (How) can traditional sociological or geographical methods be adjusted to address spatial problems within sociology? (3) Which sampling strategies are appropriate for spatial problems? (4) Which strategies of data analysis are appropriate for spatial analysis? Paper proposals must be submitted online by 15 January 2015 via the conference webpage: http://www.europeansurveyresearch.org/conference Please feel also free to distribute this Call to other persons who might be interested in presenting a paper. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us: Cornelia Thierbach, Technische Universität Berlin, Germany, cornelia.thierbach(a)tu-berlin.de <mailto:cornelia.thierbach@tu-berlin.de> Linda Hering, Technische Universität Berlin, Germany, linda.hering(a)tu-berlin.de <mailto:linda.hering@tu-berlin.de> Nina Baur, Technische Universität Berlin, Germany, nina.baur(a)tu-berlin.de <mailto:nina.baur@tu-berlin.de>

Fwd: Erste Ankündigung des DAGStat-Symposiums 2015 "Big Data - Big Brother oder Big Chances?"
by Stefanie Eifler 14 Dec '14

14 Dec '14

Einladung zum 8. Symposium der DAGStat »Big Data - Big Brother oder Big Chances« am 24. April 2015 an der Beuth Hochschule für Technik Berlin »Big Data« steht für das massenhafte Sammeln, Speichern und Analysieren von Daten. Dies wird ermöglicht durch immer leistungsfähigere Computer und Smartphones sowie durch immer weiter verbreitete Online-Dienste und Sensoren im Alltag. Nach Bekanntwerden der NSA-Affäre besteht der Eindruck, dass überall der »Big Brother« mitlauscht und die Daten in seinem Sinne missbraucht. Aber muss das so sein oder gibt es auch »Big Chances« bei der Verwendung der massenhaften Daten? Unter dem Titel "Big Data -- Big Brother oder Big Chances?" beschäftigt sich das diesjährige DAGStat-Symposium mit der Frage, unter welchen Bedingungen "Big Data" eine Chance sein kann und was technologisch überhaupt möglich ist. Dabei spielt die Statistik eine große Rolle, da sie die Werkzeuge für das Analysieren der Daten liefert. Daher wird insbesondere die Frage behandelt, was die Statistik in den verschiedensten Anwendungsfeldern von der Medizin über die amtliche Statistik bis zum Marketing dazu beitragen kann, dass aus "Big Data" kein "Big Brother" sondern "Big Chances" werden. Wir laden Sie ein, sich über dieses Thema zu informieren und mit bekannten Experten zu diskutieren.

ESRA 2015: CfP "Using Survey Data for Spatial Analysis"
by cornelia.thierbach＠tu-berlin.de 13 Dec '14

13 Dec '14

Dear Colleagues, we invite submissions to our session on "Using Survey Data for Spatial Analysis" at the 6th Conference of the European Survey Research Association (ESRA) in Reykjavik, Iceland, 13-17 July 2015. The session aims at exploring new developments in spatial meethods, seeing space either as dependent or independent variable: Researchers can ask how people think about space and construct space or they can see space as a relevant frame for social action that influences social life. Papers address one of the questions below either at a more general methodological level or using a concrete example in a specific research project: (1) How can survey data be used for spatial analysis? Can they be used by themselves, or do they have to be mixed with other data, e.g. geodata, qualitative data? (2) What methodological innovations concerning the spatial can be observed? (How) can traditional sociological or geographical methods be adjusted to address spatial problems within sociology? (3) Which sampling strategies are appropriate for spatial problems? (4) Which strategies of data analysis are appropriate for spatial analysis? Paper proposals must be submitted online by 15 January 2015 via the conference webpage: <http://www.europeansurveyresearch.org/conference> http://www.europeansurveyresearch.org/conference Please feel also free to distribute this Call to other persons who might be interested in presenting a paper.

ESRA 2015: CfP "Methods for Improving Causal Inference in the Social Sciences"
by Jochen Mayerl 12 Dec '14

12 Dec '14

Dear colleagues, We invite submissions to our session on "Methods for Improving Causal Inference in the Social Sciences" at the 6th Conference of the European Survey Research Association (ESRA) in Reykjavik, Iceland, 13-17 July 2015. Summary: The central aim of social sciences is to discover the causal effect of explanatory variables on various outcomes. However, in the case of most research questions we are restricted to quasi-experimental, observational and in particular cross sectional survey data. Under these conditions, the causal status of observed associations remains unclear, because of unobserved heterogeneity and reverse causation. At present the methodological tools for improving causal inference are not common knowledge. These tools are firstly different kinds of fixed-effects estimation (e.g. family or school fixed-effects) which exploits the within-variance of the respective units, eliminating the possibly endogenous between-variance. When longitudinal panel data is available, different methods like individual fixed effects panel regression, cross-lagged autoregressive models, latent growth curve models, and autoregressive latent trajectory models are used to decide on causality. Differences-in-differences estimators can be used on the aggregate level. Secondly, matching-techniques (e.g. propensity score matching) comparing the difference of similar members of the treatment and control group are feasible as well. Thirdly, instrumental variable approaches, utilizing exogenous determinants of the treatment condition to estimate causal effects. Fourthly, regression discontinuity techniques are used in order to exploit variance at the edge between strata of the explanatory variables. All these methods of causal analysis make certain assumptions, for instance no systematic missing data, the SUTVA-condition and unconfoundedness. In contrast to more common methods of analysis, the consequences of violations of these assumptions are much less analyzed. The same is true for decisions which have to be made when causal analyses are applied. For instance, which criterion should be used in the case of matching-techniques? How to judge the exogeneity and strength of an instrumental variable? This session invites methodological and empirical contributions which apply methods for improving causal inference in survey research, compares them to ��naive�� methods or presents progress in methodological issues. Proposals must be submitted online by 15 January 2015 via the conference webpage: <http://www.europeansurveyresearch.org/conference> http://www.europeansurveyresearch.org/conference If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us: Jochen Mayerl, TU Kaiserslautern, Germany, Jochen.Mayerl(a)sowi.uni-kl.de Volker Stock��, University of Kassel, Germany, <mailto:volker.stocke@uni-kassel.de> volker.stocke(a)uni-kassel.de Levente Littvay, Central European University, Hungary, littvayl@ceu�\ budapest.edu

CfP "Using Paradata to Improve Survey Data Quality", ESRA 2015, Reykjavik
by Jochen Mayerl 12 Dec '14

12 Dec '14

Dear colleagues, We invite submissions to our session on "Using Paradata to Improve Survey Data Quality" at the 6th Conference of the European Survey Research Association (ESRA) in Reykjavik, Iceland, 13-17 July 2015. Summary: Paradata are measures generated as a by-product of the survey data collection process. Prominent examples of paradata are data available from the sampling frame, call-record data in CATI surveys, keystroke information from CAI, timestamp files, observations of interviewer behavior or respondents response latencies (see Kreuter 2013 for an overview). These data can potentially be used to enrich questionnaire responses or to provide additional information about the survey (non-)participation process. In many cases paradata are available at no (or little) additional cost, but the theoretical basis for using paradata as indicator for survey data quality is very underdeveloped. Some examples about the use of paradata are: Paradata in fieldwork monitoring and nonresponse research: Paradata are often used in the survey management context. With control charts survey practitioners can monitor fieldwork progress and interviewer performance. They are also indispensable in responsive designs as real-time information about fieldwork and survey outcomes which affect costs and errors. However, their role as indicator for interviewer or fieldwork effects, as well as predictors for nonresponse is unclear. Paradata to understand respondent behavior: Paradata might aid assessing of the quality of survey responses, e.g. by means of response latencies or back-tracking. Research has used paradata to identify uncertainty in the answers given by respondents, e.g., if respondents frequently alter their answers. In this new strand of research, however, indicators might still be confounded and tap into multiple dimensions of the response process (e.g., response latencies may be an indicator for retrieval problems and/or satisficing). Proposals must be submitted online by 15 January 2015 via the conference webpage: <http://www.europeansurveyresearch.org/conference> http://www.europeansurveyresearch.org/conference If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us: Volker Stocké, University of Kassel, Germany, <mailto:volker.stocke@uni-kassel.de> volker.stocke(a)uni-kassel.de.

ESRA 2015 - CfP: Push2Web vs. Nudge2Web
by Henning Best 08 Dec '14

08 Dec '14

Dear Colleagues, The 6th Conference of the European Survey Research Association (ESRA) is taking place in Reykjavik, Iceland, July 13-17, 2015. We invite you to submit papers to our session on "Push2Web and Nudge2Web: Combining Mail and Online Survey Modes to Reduce Survey Errors and Survey Cost". The call for papers closes on *January 15th 2015*. An abstract of our session appears at the end of this email. Further information on ESRA 2015 is available at http://www.europeansurveyresearch.org/conference Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any questions on our session. We are looking forward to seeing you in Reykjavik! Best regards, Henning, Michael and Tanja *Push2Web and Nudge2Web* Combining Mail and Online Survey Modes to Reduce Survey Errors and Survey Cost Convenor Henning Best (University of Wuerzburg) Coordinator 1 Michael Bosnjak (GESIS) Coordinator 2 Tanja Dannwolf (GESIS) The sharp decline in telephone survey response rates has strongly increased the need for alternative ways for surveying the general public. Web surveys with offline recruiting are a potentially promising option, but at the moment internet use and coverage is still limited. As a possible solution to this problem, Dillman and Colleagues have recently suggested using a sequential mixed-mode design combining mail and web survey modes (see e.g. Messer & Dillman 2011). The key idea is to initially contacting the respondents by mail, ´pushing´ them to the web mode (Push2Web) and finally providing a paper questionnaire as a last resort to avoid unit nonresponse. The type of mode the respondents are expected to participate in is under the control of the researcher. Another conceivable strategy is to leave the mode choice to the respondents, and using various strategies ´nudging´ them to the web mode (Nudge2Web). While these approaches appear promising, important questions on survey errors and biases (coverage, sampling, nonresponse, measurement) and survey costs, as well as questions of practical survey management remain understudied. This session is aimed at bringing together pertinent research and recent experiences on combining offline recruitment and mixed-mode (especially mail+web) surveys from Europe, and encourages submissions about the impact of various Push2Web or Nudge2Web strategies on survey errors and costs. -- Prof. Dr. Henning Best Chair of Quantitative Methods in the Social Sciences Institute of Political Science and Sociology University of Würzburg Wittelsbacherplatz 1 D - 97074 Würzburg E-Mail: henning.best(a)uni-wuerzburg.de

ESRA Session: Measuring gender role attitudes
by Wolf, Christof 26 Nov '14

26 Nov '14

Call for Papers Session: Measuring gender role attitudes Chair: Jessica Walter, Christof Wolf 6th Conference of the European Survey Research Association Reykjavik, Iceland, July 13-17, 2015 Dear colleagues, we would like to draw your attention to the call for papers for our session "Measuring gender role attitudes" at the 6th Conference of the European Survey Research Association. The session aims at discussing how equivalence of measures of gender role attitudes over time and across countries can be ensured and how these measures can be adjusted to social changes. The focus of the discussion is on adjustments of measures of gender role attitudes which improve the equivalence of measures and on best practices for an implementation of improved measures in cross-cultural or longitudinal surveys. For analyses over time or/and across countries the equivalence of measures of gender role attitudes is crucial. Measures of gender role attitudes should not change over time and should not depend on the cultural context. Social changes such as a differentiation of family patterns and changes in (female) labor force participation and education challenge the assumption that the measures are equivalent over time. Based on these changes we suggest that the measures of gender role attitudes need to be revisited and updated. By doing so, different cultural contexts, which may limit the equivalence of measures of gender role attitudes across countries, also come into focus. We welcome all papers which deal with the advancement of measures of gender role attitudes or use new measures of gender role attitudes with focus on analyses over time and/or across countries. To submit a presentation abstract, sign up or log in to the ESRA website: http://www.europeansurveyresearch.org After logging in to your account, click "Submit paper" and follow the instructions. You may submit a maximum of two papers on which you are enlisted as presenting author. The closing date for submission of paper proposals is 15 January 2015. We are looking forward to your proposals.

Vielen Dank & viele Grüße / With kind regards, Benjamin (Schulz) Call for Papers: Measuring Social Networks in Large-Scale Surveys: Challenges and Practice of Ego-Centred and Complete Network Approaches Session at the 6th Conference of the European Survey Research Association (ESRA), 13th to 17th July 2015 in Reykjavik, Iceland. *Organizers:*Benjamin Schulz, Kerstin Hoenig, and Reinhard Pollak. Survey researchers measure social networks in two fundamental ways: i) in an ego-centred manner that captures an actor’s ties and related characteristics, ii) in a broader way that captures complete networks within predefined boundaries. The latter approach gains increasing attention as recent projects in many countries and fields collect complete network data. This increase largely follows from advances in survey instruments for complete networks and in statistical modelling, especially for network dynamics. Methodologically, complete network analysis makes it possible to separate selection and influence processes. These surveys, however, are mainly conducted in schools as meaningful network boundaries are easy to implement in this context. Ego-centred measures offer the chance to collect network data in contexts where a complete network measurement is not feasible. To meet the challenge of reversed causality and endogeneity as a consequence of the non-random, often homophilous, formation of social ties, panel data including repeated, or prospective and retrospective, measures are promising. Several international large-scale surveys made significant progress in this domain. We invite researchers from both camps to submit papers to promote a discussion that allows for a better evaluation of the advantages and pitfalls of each approach. Topics might include: ·Novel approaches in the measurement and modelling of social networks and network dynamics ·Means to identify causal network effects through survey design or statistical modelling ·Ways to assess the reliability and validity of network measures ·Strategies for the specification of network boundaries ·Studies on how to identify and deal with compositional changes. To submit a paper abstract, visit the conference website at http://www.europeansurveyresearch.org/conferenceand follow the instructions. Please do not forget to select this session from the list of sessions provided in the submission form. You may submit a maximum of two papers on which you are enlisted as presenting author. The closing date for submission of paper proposals is *15 January 2015*. Until *29 January 2015,* corresponding authors will be informed whether or not their paper has been accepted for presentation in the session.** Authors of selected papers will be invited to give an oral presentation of their paper. Presentations must be given in English and should not exceed 15 minutes to leave ample time for discussion. To strengthen the quality of both on-site discussion and feedback full papers should be submitted by *15 June 2015* at the latest.

ESRA: Session on “Multifactorial Survey Experiments: Factorial Surveys, Choice Experiments, and Conjoint Analysis
by Katrin Auspurg 24 Nov '14

24 Nov '14

Dear colleagues, we are very pleased to inform you about our session on “Multifactorial Survey Experiments: Factorial Surveys, Choice Experiments, and Conjoint Analysis” at the 6th Conference of the European Survey Research Association (ESRA) in Reykjavik, 13-17 July 2015. We are interested in methodological research on the design of factorial surveys, choice experiments or conjoint analyses, sampling techniques to select the experimental treatments, analysis strategies. Topics could be: 1) Design of questionnaire: How to present vignettes to respondents? What kind of answering scale provides most valid results? How to prevent order effects? How do respondents cope with the information provided on vignettes or choice sets? How does the mode of the interview (PAPI, CAPI, etc.) influence response behavior? 2) Sampling techniques: What are the benefits and drawbacks of fractional versus random sampling? How do sampling techniques like blocking by respondent strata and interviewers influence efficiency of estimates? 3) Analysis techniques and validity: Which models provide unbiased estimates? How to address possible censoring of responses? Respondents’ idiosyncrasies? When to use multilevel analysis and how to validate results? If you are currently working on one of these or related topics we cordially invite you to submit an abstract online by 15 January 2015 via the conference webpage: http://www.europeansurveyresearch.org/conference. Please find the full CfP below. With kind regards Katrin Auspurg, Goethe University Frankfurt Carsten Sauer, Bielefeld University Peter Steiner, University of Wisconsin Madison ********* Call for Papers - Please submit proposals via the ESRA website: (http://www.europeansurveyresearch.org/conference; deadline: January 15th 2015) Multifactorial Survey Experiments: Factorial Surveys, Choice Experiments, and Conjoint Analysis Katrin Auspurg (Goethe University Frankfurt), Carsten Sauer (Bielefeld University), and Peter M. Steiner (University of Wisconsin Madison) There is a fast growing trend in the social sciences to combine the advantages of multifactorial experimental designs with surveys. Factorial surveys – often labelled as “vignettes studies” – have been used for more than 30 years to gather data on descriptions of hypothetical situations or objects to explore principles of judgment and decision making. Choice experiments help to explore respondents’ preferences and willingness to pay. In addition there is increasing use of conjoint analyses in sociology and political sciences. The experimental design provides a high internal validity, while the survey design enhances external validity. Computer assisted interviewing that allows implementing many different treatments have made these methods even more popular. Despite frequent use there are still many open questions concerning design features of multifactorial survey experiments that offer most reliable and valid results. We are interested in methodological research on the design of factorial surveys, choice experiments or conjoint analyses, sampling techniques to select the experimental treatments, analysis strategies. Topics could be: 1) Design of questionnaire: How to present the vignettes to the respondents? What kind of answering scale provides most valid results? How to prevent order effects? How do respondents cope with the information provided on vignettes or choice sets?

ESRA 2015: Soziale Erwünschtheit und nicht-reaktive Methoden in der Survey Forschung
by Roger Berger 24 Nov '14

24 Nov '14

Unten stehend finden Sie den"Call for Papers" für eine Konferenzsession zum Thema "Soziale Erwünschtheit und nicht-reaktive Methoden in der Survey Forschung", welche wir im kommenden Jahr im Rahmen der ESRA 2015, die an der University of Iceland, Reykjavik vom 13. bis 17. July 2015 stattfindet, organisieren. Bis zum 15. Januar können Beiträge eingereicht werden: http://www.europeansurveyresearch.org/conference Wir freuen uns über Einreichungen! Mit besten Grüßen, Ivar Krumpal, Roger Berger und Mark Trappmann ****************************************************************************************************************************** Social Desirability and Non-Reactive Methods in Survey Research Social desirability bias is a problem in surveys collecting data on private or norm-violating issues (e.g. sexual behavior, health related issues, voting preferences, income, or unsocial opinions) as soon as the respondent’s true score differs from his or her perception of the social desirable score. Due to the respondents’ strive for social approval and keeping a favourable self-image as well as data protection concerns, collecting valid data on private or norm-violating issues is a challenging task. More specifically, respondents may engage in impression management or self-deception or edit their answer before reporting it. Non-reactive data collection methods could improve measurements and data quality in surveys where social desirability bias is a potential problem. Therefore, the possibilities and limits of non-reactive methods (e.g. record linkage approaches, surveys without questions, biomarkers, field experiments or administrative data usage) will be critically discussed and compared to methods which are based on self-reports. This session has four main goals: (1) discussion of the theoretical foundation of the research on social desirability bias in the context of a general theory of human psychology and social behavior. A clearer understanding of the social interactions between the actors that are involved in the data collection process could provide empirical researchers with a substantiated basis for optimizing their survey design and data collection to achieve high quality data; (2) presentation of current empirical research focusing on non-reactive methods of data collection in connection with the problem of social desirability; (3) discussion of new designs combining or contrasting non-reactive methods with standard ‘question-and-answer’ survey measurement in innovative ways; (4) exploration of possibilities of integrating such new and innovative approaches in well-established, large-scale population surveys taking into account problems of research ethics and data protection. Please submit an abstract via the ESRA website http://www.europeansurveyresearch.org/conferences/register by 15 January 2015. Decisions about acceptance will be communicated by the end of February 2015. Please forward this request for submissions to others who may be interested in this session. Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any queries about the session. Thank you.

ESRA session: Measuring social relations, social networks and social capital in comparative surveys
by Wolf, Christof 24 Nov '14

24 Nov '14

Call for Papers: Measuring social relations, social networks and social capital in comparative surveys Session at the 6th Conference of the European Survey Research Association (ESRA), 13th to 17th July 2015 in Reykjavik, Iceland. Organizers: Christof Wolf (GESIS) and Dominique Joye (University of Lausanne) The measurement of social relations, social networks and social capital, here understood as resources accessible through one's social relations, has attracted a lot of attention. Dependent on the intended purpose there exists instruments to measure aspects of specific relations (spouse, best friend), instrument capturing "personal communities", i.e. the egocentric network approach, or instruments measuring social capital through, for example, social support questionnaires or the position or resource generators. While we know a lot about the performance of these measures in a national context we lack information on their performance in comparative studies. This session therefore aims to explore the challenges posed by adapting survey instruments measuring social relations, social networks and social capital to a comparative, cross-national investigation. These challenges include problems of * equivalence of the meaning of stimuli; e.g. do the terms "friends", "discuss important matters" or "to be close to someone" have the same meaning across countries. * equivalence of resources; e.g. is knowing a person who can lend me money or who can repair my car equally important in all societies? or * equivalence of occupations selected for the position generator; e.g. can we find a set of occupations that reflects the entire social structure of different countries equally well? Of course, these are only few selected examples and there exists many more. We welcome all contributions investigating the challenges encountered when trying to measure social relations, network and capital in cross-national surveys To submit a paper abstract, visit the conference website at http://www.europeansurveyresearch.org/conference and follow the instructions. Please do not forget to select this session from the list of sessions provided in the submission form. You may submit a maximum of two papers on which you are enlisted as presenting author. The closing date for submission of paper proposals is 15 January 2015. Authors of selected papers will be invited to give an oral presentation of their paper. Presentations must be given in English.

ESRA 2015 - Call for Papers: Measuring gender role attitudes
by Wolf, Christof 22 Nov '14

22 Nov '14

Call for Papers 6th Conference of the European Survey Research Association Reykjavik, Iceland, July 13-17, 2015 Session: Measuring gender role attitudes Chair: Jessica Walter, Christof Wolf Dear colleagues, we would like to draw your attention to the call for papers for our session "Measuring gender role attitudes" at the 6th Conference of the European Survey Research Association. The session aims at discussing how equivalence of measures of gender role attitudes over time and across countries can be ensured and how these measures can be adjusted to social changes. The focus of the discussion is on adjustments of measures of gender role attitudes which improve the equivalence of measures and on best practices for an implementation of improved measures in cross-cultural or longitudinal surveys. For analyses over time or/and across countries the equivalence of measures of gender role attitudes is crucial. Measures of gender role attitudes should not change over time and should not depend on the cultural context. Social changes such as a differentiation of family patterns and changes in (female) labor force participation and education challenge the assumption that the measures are equivalent over time. Based on these changes we suggest that the measures of gender role attitudes need to be revisited and updated. By doing so, different cultural contexts, which may limit the equivalence of measures of gender role attitudes across countries, also come into focus. We welcome all papers which deal with the advancement of measures of gender role attitudes or use new measures of gender role attitudes with focus on analyses over time and/or across countries. To submit a presentation abstract, sign up or log in to the ESRA website: http://www.europeansurveyresearch.org After logging in to your account, click "Submit paper" and follow the instructions. You may submit a maximum of two papers on which you are enlisted as presenting author. The closing date for submission of paper proposals is 15 January 2015. We are looking forward to your proposals.

ESRA 2015 - Call for papers: Recent developments in the analysis of panel data
by Pforr, Klaus 17 Nov '14

17 Nov '14

Dear colleagues, The 6th Conference of the European Survey Research Association (ESRA) will take place 13th-17th July 2015 in Reykjavik, Iceland. We invite you to submit papers to our session entitled: "Recent developments in the analysis of panel data". Session abstract: Panel data offer two major advantages compared to cross-sectional data: 1) They allow to identify causal effects under weaker assumptions (within estimation) 2) They allow to estimate individual trajectories over time (growth curve modeling) Not all model classes that are available for panel data analysis, exploit these advantages fully. There is much uncertainty amongst users, which kind of models to use. On the other side, there are new model classes, for which it is quite unclear what the assumptions are that they need to identify a causal effect (e.g. structural equation models for panel data, and multi-level models). Therefore, we especially welcome papers that 1) compare different model classes and their usefulness for panel data analyses, or that 2) apply recently developed model classes and explicate their assumptions. To submit a presentation abstract, sign up or log in to the ESRA website: http://www.europeansurveyresearch.org After logging in to your account, click "Submit paper" and follow the instructions. You may submit a maximum of two papers on which you are enlisted as presenting author. The closing date for submission of paper proposals is 15 January 2015.
