MAPPING CATHOLIC GOVERNANCE PRACTICES IN POLAND AFTER 1989

Rafal Smoczynski

ASK. Research and Methods > 2009 > 18 > 1 > 123-139

This article lays out some of the major features of the proposed research on Catholic governance practices in a context of Polish post-communist social change. Firstly, it proposes to examine how market action in Poland was embedded in socio-normative structures influenced by Catholic social agency. In such a perspective, it is suggested that the attention should be paid to the role of Catholic cognitive...

TESTING A FORMAL THEORY OF IMAGES OF STRATIFICATION: A PROPOSAL FOR A RESEARCH DESIGN

Zbigniew Karpinski

ASK. Research and Methods > 2009 > 18 > 1 > 97-122

The objective of this paper is to propose a design for empirical tests of Fararo and Kosaka's theory of images of stratification. The theory provides formal and axiomatic explanation of how popular perceptions of social structure emerge out of ordinary social interaction as its by-product, and the research design described in this paper makes use of the factorial survey technique, also called vignette...

ITEM NONRESPONSE IN THE EUROPEAN SOCIAL SURVEY

Archim Koch, Michael Blohm

ASK. Research and Methods > 2009 > 18 > 1 > 45-65

Item nonresponse is widely considered an important indicator of data quality. It decreases the available sample size for analyses and bears the risk of biased results if the missingness is not at random. The present study investigates item nonresponse rates in the first three rounds of the European Social Survey (ESS). The ESS is a biennial cross-national survey of attitudes and behaviours, first...

HOW DOES LENGTH OF FIELDWORK PERIOD INFLUENCE NON-RESPONSE? FINDINGS FROM ESS 2 IN POLAND

Sztabinski Pawel B., Sztabinski Franciszek, Dariusz Przybysz

ASK. Research and Methods > 2009 > 18 > 1 > 67-95

In this paper the authors show how one method of increasing the response rate, i.e. an extension of the fieldwork period, influences the structure of non-response and the differences between respondents and non-respondents. They used data from the Pilot Study and the Main Study for the European Social Survey, Round 2, and from follow-up studies conducted after each of those. The fieldwork period of...

NON-RESPONSE BIAS IN CROSS-NATIONAL SURVEYS: DESIGNS FOR DETECTION AND ADJUSTMENT IN THE ESS

Jaak Billiet, Hideko Matsuo, Koen Beullens, Vasja Vehovar

ASK. Research and Methods > 2009 > 18 > 1 > 3-43

This paper is focused on process and output aspects of the obtained sample and deals with the measurement of non-response, and the study of non-response bias from a viewpoint of comparative research in which the concept of 'equivalence' in measurement is central (Jowell et al., 2007). The paper starts with a theoretical reflection on several designs for the detection of non-response bias: comparing...
