Abstract:
Although the primary role of the computer has been in processing and analysis of survey data, it has increasingly been used in data collection. Computer surveys are not exempt from a common problem: some refuse to participate. Many researchers and practitioners indicate the refusal problem is less for computer surveys, perhaps due to the novelty of the method. What has not been investigated is the refusal problem when on-line surveys are no longer novel. This research study examines the use of one form of computer-assisted data collection, the electronic or on-line survey, as an organizational research tool. The study utilized historical response data and administered an on-line survey to individuals known to be cooperative or uncooperative in other on-line surveys. It investigated nonresponse bias and response effects of typical responders, periodic participants, and typical refusers within a sample of corporate employees in a computer-interactive interviewing environment utilizing on-line surveys. The items measured included: participation, respondent characteristics, response speed, interview length, perceived versus actual interview length, quantity of data, item nonresponse, item response bias, consistency of response, extremity of response, and early and late response. It also evaluated factors reported as important when deciding to participate, preferred data collection method, and preferred time of display. Past participation, attitudes toward on-line organizational surveys, response burden, and response error were assessed. The overall completion rate of 55.7% was achieved in this study. All effort was made to encourage cooperation of all groups, including an invitation to participate, token, on-line pre-notification, 800 number support, two on-line reminders, support of temporary exit, and a paper follow-up survey. A significant difference in the participation of the three groups was found. Only three demographic variables were found to be significant. No significant differences were found in speed of response, interview length, quantity, item nonresponse, item response bias, consistency, and extremity. Significant differences were found in the perceived and actual times to complete the survey.

Abstract:
This thesis describes the design, maintenance and statistical analysis involved in undertaking a Longitudinal Survey. A longitudinal survey (or study) obtains observations or responses from individuals over several times over a defined period. This enables the direct study of changes in an individual's response over time. In particular, it distinguishes an individual's change over time from the baseline differences among individuals within the initial panel (or cohort). This is not possible in a cross-sectional study. As such, longitudinal surveys give correlated responses within individuals. Longitudinal studies therefore require different considerations for sample design and selection and analysis from standard cross-sectional studies. This thesis looks at the methodology for analysing social surveys. Most social surveys comprise of variables described as categorical variables. This thesis outlines the process of sample design and selection, interviewing and analysis for a longitudinal study. Emphasis is given to categorical response data typical of a survey. Included in this thesis are examples relating to the Goodna Longitudinal Survey and the Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants to Australia (LSIA). Analysis in this thesis also utilises data collected from these surveys. The Goodna Longitudinal Survey was conducted by the Queensland Office of Economic and Statistical Research (a portfolio office within Queensland Treasury) and began in 2002. It ran for two years whereby two waves of responses were collected.

Abstract:
This dissertation studies the impact of the mode of data collection on the quality of answers to survey questions, defined as the product of reliability and validity. Using data from the Netherlands about different topics (media, social and political trust, satisfaction, political orientation, left-right self-placement, attitudes toward immigration), it shows that the quality is similar in a computed assisted face-to-face survey using show cards (the European Social Survey, ESS) and a web survey based on a probability sample (the LISS panel). This is true both at the level of single items and composite scores. It suggests that standardised relationships across variables can be compared across these two modes. On the contrary, telephone interviews lead to some differences in quality. For complex concepts, measurement equivalence also holds, meaning that means and unstandardised relationships can be compared across the faceto- face and web surveys mentioned previously.

Abstract:
Includes bibliographical references.
This study explores the use of a palm computer, linked to a hand held global positioning system receiver, by members of an informal settlement and a rural community to collect socio-economic (SE) data. The theoretical foundation is taken from such disciplines as Semiotics, Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and Survey Research Methods. This theory was used to develop a methodology, which enabled the researcher to investigate whether it is feasible to use icons to represent SE variables, whether HCI theory is useful for assessing the field observations of the volunteers using the palm computer, and whether the data collected is useful in terms of informal settlements and Communal Property Associations (CPA's). The research approach involved developing a set of icons, which were then pretested using feedback from volunteers in Mitchell’s Plain (Cape Town) before doing field-testing in Algeria and Imizamo Yethu. Next, two field studies were conducted. In Algeria and Imizamo Yethu, the volunteers were asked to identify a set of SE icons, they were taught how to use the palm computer and the CyberTracker software, and each volunteer was asked to conduct a mini-survey. The volunteer responses to the SE icons were analysed using semiotic criteria to determine how well they identified the icons. Next, the field observations were assessed with usability criteria from HCI. Finally, the two data sets were evaluated to determine its usefulness. The recommendations of this research are that if a set of SE icons is to be developed, the researcher suggests that symbols, which are well known by the community be used. That these symbols be tested in a 32x32 pixel format to determine if there is enough detail for recognition. Also, avoid detail in a picture that could cause confusion. Also, detailed investigations into the effect of culture, gender and background, as well as human perception is needed with the focus on communities. The main motivation for this is that informal settlements are a mix between rural, urban, educated and not, and also having different cultures. Next, it is further recommended that tests in homogeneous communities also be done to determine whether they do have the same mental concept. Further field studies are required to sort out various technical problems and to test a larger set of icons. Finally, other applications for this system should be investigated, e.g. land allocation distribution.

Abstract:
Diabetes is a significant health problem in Mexico and one of the leading causes of death. Studies in other countries have suggested that socioeconomic status (SES) contributes to the development of type 2 diabetes. However, only few studies in Mexico have dealt with SES differentials in diabetes. The aim of this thesis is to examine the association between SES and type 2 diabetes among Mexican adults aged 20-69. In contrast with previous studies, we use individual, household and municipality measures of SES simultaneously when investigating: prevalence of total, diagnosed and undiagnosed diabetes in the year 2000; and incidence of diagnosed diabetes during the period 2002-2005. Furthermore, we explore the effects of diabetes on employment status, and changes in waist circumference (WC) among adults with diabetes. Data were used from the 2000 National Health Survey (NHS-2000) and the Mexican Family Life Surveys 2002 and 2005 (MxFLS-2002 and MxFLS-2005). Diabetes was defined using self-reports (in both surveys) and outcomes from capillary blood tests (only in the NHS). SES was measured through educational attainment, household income, household wealth and municipality deprivation. The index of household wealth was calculated and evaluated using the National Survey of Household Income and Expenditure (ENIGH-2000). The Human Development Index (HDI) and the Deprivation Index (DI) at the municipality level are official statistics obtained from the 2000 Mexican Census of population. Two level logistic regression models were estimated, and the analyses were stratified mainly by sex, urban/rural stratum and municipality deprivation. Our findings confirm an association between socioeconomic status and diabetes. However, this relationship varies by SES measure, sex, urbanisation and deprivation. A consistent result was that diabetes was more common among the less educated, in the least deprived municipalities, and in urbanised localities. Variations in diabetes between municipalities were better explained by genetic, biological and lifestyle factors, than by SES. Diabetes was associated with working status, but not with employment status or changes in WC. Increases in urbanisation and further socioeconomic development, in combination with increased life expectancy, will lead to a higher prevalence of diabetes particularly among the most vulnerable groups. In addition to the promotion of healthy behaviours in the overall Mexican population, health sustainability should be prioritized in those communities at early stages of the nutritional and epidemiological transition.

Abstract:
The combination of survey data with more objective information, such as administrative records, is a promising innovation within social science research. The advantages of such projects are manifold, but implementing them also bears challenges to be considered. For example, the survey respondents typically have to consent to the linking of external data sources and interviewers have to feel comfortable with this task. This dissertation investigates whether and to what extent the interviewers have an influence on the willingness of the respondents to participate in two new projects within the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE). Both projects had the goal to reduce the burden for respondents and to increase the data quality by linking the survey data with additional, more objective data. Both linkages required the interviewers to collect respondents’ written consent during the interview. The starting point of this dissertation is the question of what influences respondents’ decisions to consent to link their survey answers with administrative data. Three different areas are considered: characteristics of the respondents, the interviewers, and the interaction between respondents and interviewers. The results suggest that although respondent and household characteristics are important, a large part of the variation is explained by the interviewers. However, the information available about interviewers in SHARE is limited to a few demographic characteristics. Therefore, it is difficult to identify key interviewer characteristics that influence the consent process. To close this research gap, a detailed interviewer survey was developed and implemented in SHARE. This survey covers four different dimensions of interviewer characteristics: interviewers’ attitudes, their own behavior, experiences in surveys and special measurements, and their expectations regarding their success. These dimensions are applied to several aspects of the survey process, such as unit or item nonresponse as well as the specific projects of the corresponding SHARE questionnaire. The information collected in the interviewer survey is then used to analyze interviewer effects on respondents’ willingness to consent to the collection of blood samples. Those samples are analyzed in a laboratory and the results linked with the survey data. Interviewers’ experience and their expectations are of special interest, because as these are two characteristics that can be influenced during interviewer training and selection. The results in this dissertation show that the interviewers have a considerable effect on respondents’ consent to the collection of biomarkers. Moreover, the information collected in the interviewer survey can explain most of the variance on the interviewer level. A motivation for linking survey data with more objective data is the assumption that survey data suffer from recall error. In the last step, the overlap of information collected in the survey and provided in the administrative records is used to analyze recall error in the year of retirement. The comparison of the two datasets shows that most of respondents remember the year they retired correctly. Nevertheless, a considerable proportion of respondents make recall errors. Characteristics can be identified which increase the likelihood of a misreport, However, the error seems to be unsystematic, meaning that no pattern of reporting the event of retirement too late or too early is found.

Abstract:
Populistiska krafter blir allt mer inflytelserika runt om i västvärlden, populism inklusive alla dess olika inriktningar får ett allt större stöd hos befolkningen sedan början på 2000-talet. Denna uppsats undersöker fyra förklaringsfaktorer som främjar populistiska attityder hos individer som ingår i Europa Social Survey data. Dessa faktorer grundas i Ronald Inglehart och Pippa Norris förklaringsmodeller och skapar underlag för studiens hypoteser. För att genomföra detta tillämpas kvantitativ forskningsstrategi med en deduktiv ansats. Indikatorer i analysen är sekundärdata från ESS som används för att summera ett populismindex och finna förklaringsvariabler. Syftet är att med hjälp av multipel regressionsanalys framställa vilka förklaringsfaktorer har en påverkan på populistiska attityder samt påvisa ett signifikant samband. Analysen framställer hur populistiska attityder ser ut bland studiens inkluderade länder, samt påvisar ett samband mellan populismindexet och utvalda förklaringsfaktorer. Resultatet visar att fyra förklaringsfaktorer som har inkluderats i studien har effekt på individers mottaglighet för populistiska attityder. Följaktligen redogörs att om individen är missnöjd med livet i sin helhet eller med vårdtjänsterna som finns i respektive land, kan det leda till att den är mer mottaglig för populistiska attityder än om den har låg utbildningsnivå eller tillhör den äldre generationen. Det innebär att studiens hypoteser som avser missnöje och individens bakgrundsfaktorer stämmer överens med Ingleharts och Norris förklaringsmodeller.

Abstract:
Social Stratification is an enduring influence in contemporary societies which shapes many outcomes over the lifecourse. Social Stratification is also a key mechanism by which social inequalities are transmitted from one generation to the next. This thesis presents a set of inter-related case studies which explore social stratification in contemporary Britain. This thesis focuses on the analysis of an appropriate set of large scale social survey datasets, which contain detailed micro-level data. The thesis begins with a detailed review of one area of social survey research practice which has been neglected, namely the measurement and operationalisation of ‘key variables’. Three case studies are then presented which undertake original analyses using five different large-scale social survey resources. Throughout this thesis detailed consideration of the operationalisation of variables is made and a range of statistical modelling approaches are employed to address middle range theories regarding the processes of social stratification. Case study one focuses on cognitive inequalities in the early years of childhood. This case study builds on research which has indicated that social stratification impacts on the cognitive performance of young children. This chapter makes the original contribution of charting the extent of social inequalities on childhood cognitive abilities between three British birth cohorts. There are clear patterns of social inequality within each cohort. Between the cohorts there is also evidence that the association between socio-economic advantage and childhood cognitive capability have remained largely stable over the post-war period, in spite of the raft of policy measures that have been floated to tackle social inequality. Case study two investigates the recent sociological idea that there is a ‘middle’ group of young people who are absent in sociological inquiries. This chapter sets out to explore the existence of a ‘middle’ group based on their socio-economic characteristics. This case study focuses on school GCSE examination performance, and finds that performance is highly stratified by parental occupational positions. The analysis provided no persuasive evidence of the existence of a ‘middle’, mediocre or ordinary group of young people. The analytical benefits of studying the full attainment spectrum are emphasised, over a priori categorisation. Case study three combines the analysis of intra-generational and inter-generational status attainment perspectives by studying the influences of social origins, educational attainment and cognitive abilities across the occupational lifecourse. This case study tests theoretical ideas regarding the importance of these three areas of influence over time. This case study therefore presents a detailed picture of social stratification processes. The results highlight that much more variation in occupational positions is observed between individuals, rather than across an individual’s lifecourse. The influence of social origins, educational attainment and cognitive ability on occupational positions appear to decrease across an individual’s occupational lifecourse. A brief afterword that showcases a sensitivity analysis is presented at the end of the thesis. This brief exposition is provided to illustrate the potential benefit of undertaking sensitivity analyses when developing research which operationalises key variables in social stratification. It is argued that such an activity is beneficial and informative and should routinely be undertaken within sociological analyses of social surveys. The thesis concludes with a brief reflection on large-scale survey research and statistical modelling and comments on potential areas for future research.

Abstract:
It is well known that even the best conducted surveys often generate significant amounts of error during their design and implementation, best described by the Total Survey Error (TSE) framework. It is also widely accepted that cross-national surveys have the potential to increase that error further. This is because they most often comprise multiple national surveys under some kind of coordinated framework, whilst also having additional sources of error that stem from the cross-cultural nature of that work. Recently great strides have been made in identifying the sources of error that can impact on social surveys and how these are magnified in a cross-national context. This doctorate presents a body of my own published work that has contributed to the field of cross-national research. It has provided tools and approaches that help in the identification and correction of three overarching aspects of non-sampling survey error: specification error; measurement error and non response error. In each of these areas my contribution to the field through work on the cross-national European Social Survey (ESS) will be demonstrated, drawing on peer reviewed journal articles, book chapters, a book and published working papers. This academic contribution has added to knowledge in the field and made a practical contribution by leading to tangible improvements in the methodology of the ESS and other cross-national social surveys.
