Książka jest podsumowaniem projektu „Badanie obszarów wykluczenia społeczno – ekonomicznego dla potrzeb strategii rozwiązywania problemów społecznych w wybranych powiatach województwa wielkopolskiego” ukierunkowanego na wskazywanie kompleksowych rozwiązań w zakresie polityki społecznej, głęboko osadzonych w realiach instytucjonalnych i społecznych...
Design effect (DEFF) is a measure used to assess the effectiveness of a particular sampling scheme. Even though its definition is remarkably simple (cf. Kish 1965: 258), its practical implementation turns out to be problematic. Researchers therefore usually simplify the estimation of DEFF by independently determining the values of three components,...
Przygotowując się do powtórnego przeprowadzenia studiów nad postawami Wielkopolan wobec procesu integracji europejskiej, autorzy publikacji mieli na uwadze przede wszystkim możliwość porównania regionalnej świadomości społecznej pięć lat po akcesji Polski z UE z tą, której obraz starali się rozpoznać w okresie okołoakcesyjnym. Wychodząc od krytyczn...
The article concerns the question of inaccessible units set in the perspective of the theory of statistical conclusion. The focus is on consequences of omitting of non-sampling errors resulting from the lack of knowledge of distribution of the opinions of people who were selected but not included in the sample. It has been shown that non-sampling e...
he aim of this article is to examine whether providing pollsters with multiple opportunities to carry out interviews with a sample of randomly selected respondents reduces non-response bias. First, I present the procedures for assessing non-response bias in sociological surveys, opting for a method based on post-stratifi cation weights. Next, using...
While beliefs in conspiracy theories related to medical procedures proliferated in Europe during the COVID-19 pandemic, previous research has focussed on such predictors of conspiracy as age, gender, educational status, political orientation, and trust in science. By analysing the data from the Eurobarometer survey conducted in 2021 in 37 European...
Objectives: Blood transfusions (BTs) are generally safe and potentially life-saving but come with risks. The World Health Organization advocates reducing unnecessary transfusions and using patient blood management strategies and techniques. However, providing bloodless medical care to patients who prefer to avoid blood-related treatments is a chall...
This paper assesses trends in three survey outcome rates within four prominent crossnationalcomparative surveys conducted in European countries in the 21st century: theEuropean Quality of Life Survey, the European Social Survey, the European ValuesStudy, and the International Social Survey Programme. These projects are recognisedfor their high-qual...
Background
While conspiracy theories cover many different themes, medical conspiracy theories (MCTs) have become particularly prevalent in modern societies. As beliefs in MCTs can become a source of “infodemics”, influence individual health behaviors and cause distrust in medical institutions and personnel, healthcare workers must find ways to over...
Two approaches to within-household selection of target respondents dominate cross-national surveys of the general population: the Kish grid and birthday procedures. The Kish grid is a rigorous probabilistic approach expected to produce higher-quality samples. However, its requirement to construct a complete household register is intrusive and may i...
Background
Transcultural nursing recognises the significance of cultural backgrounds in providing patients with quality care. This study investigates the opinions of master’s students in nursing and midwifery regarding the attitudes of Jehovah’s Witnesses towards refusing blood transfusions.
Methods
349 master’s students in nursing and midwifery p...
Abstract:
Response styles, defined as choosing certain response options on a basis other than the contentof a questioncan seriously threaten the validity of survey data. Although response styles are present in both face-to-face and self-completion surveys, they have beenfar more researched in the latter mode of data collection. Our study aimedto in...
While the doctors’ role in immunization is essential, their lack of knowledge or vaccine hesitancy may affect their ability to communicate effectively and educate patients about vaccination, vaccine hesitancy, and vaccine conspiracy theories. This, in turn, may hinder health policy aimed at fighting infectious diseases. Vaccine hesitancy is prevale...
The article investigates normative preferences for environmental protection over economic growth registered in 74 countries—based on the European Values Study and the World Value Survey (2017–2022). We employ multi-level logistic regression to demonstrate that Gross Domestic Product per capita moderates the effects of political orientation and hous...
Based on the publication records of journal articles indexed in the Web of Science Social Sciences Citation Index, our analysis examines the underlying factors influencing the usage of ‘sex differences’ over ‘gender differences’ in Titles and Author Keywords. Our search query identified 16,362 articles published in 1971–2021 that use either of the...
The COVID-19 virus disseminated globally at an accelerated pace, culminating in a worldwide pandemic; it engendered a proliferation of spurious information and a plethora of misinformation and conspiracy theories (CTs). While many factors contributing to the propensity for embracing conspiracy ideation have been delineated, the foremost determinant...
This study analyzes the consequences of item nonresponse to the question about a household’s total net income in the European Social Survey (2008–2018). We recognize two mechanisms in avoiding answering the income question: task complexity and question sensitivity, and apply multilevel logistic regressions to predict the probability of refusals or...
Objectives: The study describes the attitudes of Polish nursing personnel towards Jehovah's Witnesses' (JWs') refusal to receive blood and blood products. Methods: We developed an online survey assessing nurses' knowledge and attitudes towards JWs' refusal of blood transfusion in a life-threatening condition. It also examined nurses' attitudes towa...
Public opinion is increasingly important in managing urban greenery. In this regard, this study demonstrates the importance of sociological (environmental worldviews), psychological (place attachment, perceived benefits of trees), and physical factors (type of building people live in, and urban greenery) in forming residents' opinions on whether th...
Survey researchers and practitioners often assume that higher response rates are associated with a higher quality of survey data. However, the evidence for this claim in face-to-face surveys is mixed. To explain these mixed results, recent studies have proposed that interviewers’ involvement in respondent selection moderates the effect of response...
Background
Sleep problems mark an important part of the research into the physical health and mental well-being of modern societies. Although there are many studies on restless sleep, they are dominated by approaches that either focus on health-related issues or social factors (such as socioeconomic status). In this report, we address both types of...
Differences in the response-scale formats constitute a major challenge for ex-post harmonisation of survey data. Linear stretching of original response options onto a common range of values remains a popular response to format differences. Unlike its more sophisticated alternative, simple stretching proves readily applicable without requiring assum...
Social research methodologists have postulated that the transparency of survey procedures and data processing is mandatory for assessing the Total Survey Error. Recent analyses of data from cross-national surveys have demonstrated an increase in the quality of documentation reports over time and significant differences in documentation quality betw...
The shape and scope of the welfare state in individual countries have been under consideration since the late 1970s. However, since the publication of The Three Worlds of Welfare Capitalism (1990), discussions have been framed by the Esping-Andersen proposal, which has had an enormous impact on research regarding welfare regimes. This article aims...
A developmental analysis of the two waves: 2008 and 2016 ESS Indicators of social engagement (we mean here organisational engagement) are treated as a measure of the process of social modernisation (Herrmann, 1999, Matei, Apostu, 2012). It is assumed here that higher scores of indicators demonstrate the 'maturity of civil society, the quality of th...
Apart from unit nonresponse, a failure to respond to a particular survey question is a crucial component of the Total Survey Error. This article looks at item nonresponse to a household’s total net income in the European Social Survey (2008–2018). We explore whether the task complexity mechanism is responsible for the likelihood of nonresponse to t...
This paper examines existing methods of evaluating sample quality, showing that their practical utility and applicability to large-scale cross-project comparisons depends on whether they require auxiliary individual-level data. Among those methods that do not demand any such additional data, we differentiate between two approaches that rely on (i)...
In recent years, the issue of unconditional basic income has become both an element of a broad discussion among theoreticians and practitioners responsible for public policy and a basis for the experiments aimed at investigating social and economic consequences of introducing this programme; however, there is a lack of empirical analyses focused on...
Few studies have investigated relational environmental views of different stakeholder groups. In this study, we investigated how residents of rural and urban municipalities view the management of trees (who should decide about trees’ removal – the landowner, or the municipality), which provides a various range of ecosystem services and the extent t...
This article addresses the comparability of sampling and fieldwork with an analysis of methodological data describing 1,537 national surveys from five major comparative cross-national survey projects in Europe carried out in the period from 1981 to 2017. We describe the variation in the quality of the survey documentation, and in the survey methodo...

The main goal of this article is to compare the opinions of citizens from four European countries (Germany, Great Britain, Spain and Poland) regarding basic income in the broader context, among other things, of welfare regimes these countries represent. Statistical analyses of the Europeans' attitudes towards basic income are based on interviews ca...
In the summer of 2015 the tensions over managing external immigration into the European Union morphed into a full-blown crisis. Political and social reactions towards the Balkan Route emergency exposed major divisions between EU member states. Notably, the Visegrád Group (V4) countries, i.e. Czechia, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia, stood out as a blo...
This presentation examines demographic representativeness of different types of probabilistic samples based on the results of 130 different surveys form 7 rounds of European Social Survey. Focusing on the distinction between personal-register (i.e., individual name) and non-personal-register (i.e., household or address) samples, it demonstrates tha...

Existing literature on survey methodology is not particularly saturated with studies of the relationship between the type of survey sample and the quality of their fieldwork execution. This paper focuses on three main types of probability sample, i.e., address, household and individual name sample, and examines whether limited capacity for controll...
Jednym z podstawowych celów realizacji sondaży o charakterze porównawczym jest wnioskowanie o międzykulturowych różnicach opartych na pomiarze pewnych konstruktów latentnych. Porównania takie są uzasadnione, jeśli tylko owe konstrukty mierzą w każdym kraju to samo oraz w taki sam sposób. Celem tego artykułu jest weryfi kacja hipotezy o ekwiwalentno...
Face-to-face surveys of the general population often start with a probability sample of the households or addresses. However, even if a probability sample of households or addresses has been drawn, random selection of the target respondent within the selected household is crucial for obtaining a probability sample of individuals comprising the popu...
This monograph deals with the issue of the (non)representativeness of research surveys and is situated within the context of methodological reflection on the quality of quantitative social research that mainly aims to identify errors related to the representativeness of a sample. The entire discussion is based on the theory of total survey error, w...
The mail goal of this presentation is to find out whether the refuses to question of income are random or not as well as how can we eliminate the effect of item non-response in point estimation.
Firstly, using the Hungarian and Polish data set of ESS 2008, it will be demonstrated that the likelihood to refuse is not random, but rather proportiona...
