Chronic exposure to traffic noise impairs children's well-being. However, traffic noise exposure is only one aspect with impact on children’s wellbeing. In order to better understand the importance of traffic noise in comparison to other influencing factors, the exposome concept can be useful. The EU project Equal-Life is addressing this issue by i...

Chronic aircraft noise impairs children's cognition. In the literature, LAeq and Lden are the dominating noise exposure metrics for calculating the relationship between noise and cognition, although other noise metrics such as the number above threshold (NAT) exist. There is initial evidence from regression models that the NAT metric served as a se...

Purpose: Productivity in the construction trade has fallen significantly behind other sectors of the economy. Digital assistance systems can help to improve productivity, however they are rarely used in most smaller construction companies. To change this, it is the scope of this paper to investigate acceptance factors of digital assistance systems...

Studies on the influence of traffic noise on children's health are usually very comprehensive and collect data on a large number of measured variables in comparatively large samples. In the NORAH Study, for example, almost 700 variables have been considered including 91variables related to traffic noise. With a theory-based approach, the statistica...

Virtual Reality (VR) will lead to a significant change in the way we teach and learn. VR is characterized by immersion, sensory feedback and interactivity. A recent meta-analysis showed that the use of VR (in a broader sense) in primary, secondary and higher education increases learning success, especially with short learning contents. However, som...

This article discusses some various applications of paradata in the form of response latencies in identifying survey measurement error. Specifically, it presents empirical analyses regarding response latencies as they pertain to such problems as acquiescence bias, question order effects (contrast and assimilation effects) and social desirability bi...

Measurement quality in standardized surveys has been a core issue for decades in survey research. For questionnaire designers, it is common to use a mix of positive and negative worded items to measure multi-item-constructs in order to control for response effects like acquiescence bias. The paper shows that paradata such as response latency measur...

Der Zusammenschluss von Personen zur Planung und bei der späteren Wohnphase eines gemeinschaftlichen Wohnprojekts kann in unterschiedlichen juristischen Formen organisiert sein. Hierzu gehören beispielsweise Vereine (e. V.), Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung (GmbH) oder Genossenschaften (eG). Unter anderem erfährt die Rechtsform der Genossens...

Survey response latencies are used to gain a better understanding of cognitive processes and measurement errors (cf. Kreuter 2010). With this paper, we hope to gain a better understanding of how paradata can be used in international comparative studies and to identify possible difficulties surrounding its application in international studies. We l...

I Zusammenfassung Es ist eine Alltagsbeobachtung für welche sich zahlreiche empirische Belege finden, dass ge-sundheitsbewusste Verhaltensweisen wie etwa das regelmäßige Betreiben von Sport oder der Konsum von als gesund geltenden Lebensmitteln in bestimmten Kreisen der Bevölkerung zu-nehmen. Parallel ist ein weiterer Trend zu beobachten: die Zunah...
