_______________________________________ Berlin Summer School in Social Sciences --------------------------------------- Linking Theory and Empirical Research Berlin, July 17 – 28, 2016 We are delighted to announce the 6th Berlin Summer School in Social Sciences. The summer school aims at promoting young researchers by strengthening their methodological understanding in linking theory and empirical research. The two weeks’ program creates an excellent basis for the advancement of their current research designs. In the first week we address the key methodological challenges of concept-building, causation/explanation and micro-macro-linkage that occur in almost all research efforts and strive for a clarification of the epistemological foundations underlying methodological paradigms. In the second week, these methodological considerations are applied to central empirical fields of research in political science, sociology, and their intersections with other disciplines. In this second part of the program participants are assigned to four thematic groups according to their own research topics. The thematic areas cover “External Governance, Europeanization, and Global Norms Diffusion”, “Citizenship, Migration and Social Inequalities", “Social Struggle and Globalization”, and “Democracy at the Crossroads”. The program is characterized by a varied format of lectures, workshops, seminars, and one-to-one consultations. During the summer school participants will also have the opportunity to present and intensely discuss their own work and approaches and will be provided with hands-on advice for their research designs. The school brings together a faculty of renowned international and Berlin-based scholars. Among the confirmed international lecturers are Gilbert Achcar (University of London), Donatella Della Porta (European University Institute), Macartan Humphreys (Columbia University), Bob Jessop (University of Lancaster), Sanjay Reddy (The New School for Social Research), and Vera Troeger (University of Warwick). The Berlin Summer School is a joint endeavor of the Berlin Graduate School of Social Sciences (BGSS) at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and the WZB Berlin Social Science Center. It is co-funded by the two institutions. Moreover, we receive generous funding from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). Details on travel grants and tuition fees can be found on our webpage. The international summer school is open to 50 PhD candidates, advanced master students and young Post-Docs. The call for applications has opened. Applications can be submitted online via the application form on the summer school webpage until March 31, 2016. The decisions of the selection committee will be communicated to the applicants at the beginning of April. For more information, please visit our webpage at www.berlinsummerschool.de If you have additional questions, please contact directly the organizing team at summerschool.bgss(a)hu-berlin.de

CfP "Testing the Behavioral Validity of Survey Experiments" at 9th RC33 Conference, University of Leicester, 2016
by Knut Petzold 15 Feb '16

15 Feb '16

Dear colleagues, we want to draw your attention to the session "Testing the Behavioral Validity of Survey Experiments" at the 9th International Conference on Social Science Methodology (RC33 Conference) in Leicester, 11-16 September 2016. Extended deadline: 21.2.2016! ------------------- Call for Abstracts ------------------- Many survey experiments, such as factorial surveys, conjoint analyses or choice experiments are designed to measure behavioral intentions. However, there is an ongoing discussion how well intentions measured by such experiments correspond with actual behavior. Especially, it remains an important open research question how and to what extent the levels and determinants of behavioral intentions and choices made in actual decision situations are related. Even given high quality measurements of intentions by survey experiments testing the behavioral validity of these intentions is challenging. First, actual behavioral alternatives are restricted by non-experimental set environmental conditions. Hence, the relevance of intentions for behavioral outcomes depends on the situational context. Second, survey data on behavioral outcome are often prone to unobserved heterogeneity. Finally, it is often a practical challenge to collect data on intentions and comparable actual behavior, in particular of the same sample of participants. This session addresses issues linked to cross-validating experimentally measured intentions in surveys with corresponding behavioral data. Welcome are all contributions discussing theoretical models, empirical designs, analytic strategies and exemplary applications aiming to overcome related problems. In particular we invite papers dealing with at least one of the following questions: Which theoretical models are useful to specify the relationship between intentions and actual behavior in a general and empirical testable fashion? Which empirical designs can help to test the behavioral validity of intentions? Which data sources can serve as behavioral benchmark for validating intentions? What are the advantages and limitations of a validation strategy using declared behavior in surveys? What are the advantages and limitations of a validation strategy using observed behavior in laboratory or field experiments? What are the advantages and limitations of a validation strategy using observed behavior in natural situations? Which validation strategies are appropriate in which circumstances? In which situations and under which conditions is it appropriate to measure behavioral intentions using survey experiments? ------------------- We are awaiting your abstract submissions (max 5.000 characters) until 21st of February, 2016. If you plan to submit an abstract please use the online submission system http://www2.le.ac.uk/departments/sociology/research/rc33-conference following the steps described in the file attached. Best wishes, Knut Petzold & Volker Lang
