Seminarinhalt
Cross-national and cross-cultural surveys are increasingly being set up in social science research as they allow testing for the generality of hypotheses across cultures and allow the inclusion of all members of the target population. When dealing with cross-national or cross-cultural instead of national data, additional methodological challenges and sources of bias must be taken into account as respondents come from different contexts and cultures, and speak different languages. This adds an “additional layer of complexity” to the development and analysis of such surveys.
This workshop focuses on what it means to develop, evaluate, and translate questionnaires for use in cross-national or cross-cultural research.
