GESIS Training: Beyond Traditional Hypothesis Testing
by Remizova, Alisa 10 Oct '24

10 Oct '24

*Apologies for cross-posting* Dear colleagues, GESIS offers two workshops designed to enhance hypothesis evaluation and research robustness: * Applied Multiverse Analysis with Stata and R<https://tinyurl.com/2-25-applied-multiv-analysis> (24. - 26.02.2025) addresses how researchers' analytical decisions impact hypothesis tests and research outcomes. The workshop offers a systematic approach to assess the robustness of findings across various possible analytic choices and increase the transparency of your research. * Synthesizing Evidence: Aggregating Support for your Hypothesis across Studies<https://tinyurl.com/4-25-synth-evidence> (08. - 10.04.2025) focuses on combining findings from multiple studies, including those with heterogeneous designs. Learn to conduct systematic reviews, evaluate informative hypotheses, and aggregate support with methods beyond traditional meta-analysis. Warning: Side effects of these workshops may include uncontrollable urges to reanalyze old data, compulsive evidence-synthesizing behavior, and improved research quality. The complete schedule of GESIS Training courses is available online<https://training.gesis.org/>. Should you have any queries or seek further guidance, please do not hesitate to reach out (alisa.remizova(a)gesis.org<mailto:alisa.remizova@gesis.org>). Thank you for disseminating this announcement to other inquisitive minds. May all your hypotheses come true, Your GESIS Training Team --- Alisa Remizova alisa.remizova(a)gesis.org<mailto:alisa.remizova@gesis.org> Scientific Coordinator of GESIS Workshops GESIS - Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences https://training.gesis.org/ --- Alisa Remizova alisa.remizova(a)gesis.org<mailto:alisa.remizova@gesis.org> Scientific Coordinator of GESIS Workshops GESIS - Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences https://training.gesis.org/

CfP: Building Data Collection Methods for Hard to Study Populations, deadline: 15.10.2024
by Vanessa Torres van Grinsven 07 Oct '24

07 Oct '24

Dear colleagues, As a co-organizer of the session /Building Data Collection Methods for Hard to Study Populations/ at the 5th ISA Forum of Sociology (https://www.isa-sociology.org/en/conferences/forum/rabat-2025 ) I would like to again bring this session to your attention: /This session focusses on research that explores, develops or tests structured data collection methods that are suitable for hard to study populations. These are populations like low literate people, people with cognitive limitations, (mental) health challenges, or subgroups with physical restraints like in hearing or speaking. They all have in common to be at greater risk of communicative, cognitive and/or motivational disabilities that may limit the application of standardized or structured data collection methods. As a result, these limitations may pose a threat to (survey) research validity and reliability. If alternative, appropriate methods are not developed and applied, such populations and subgroups continue to be under researched and data quality will remain hampered. While in the end the aim may be to create new methodology for structured or even standardized (survey) research, the focus of papers can be on theoretical, qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods developments. In this session, we welcome theoretical and empirical contributions on issues that are key to data collection in hard to study populations, like: • Cognitive and communicative processes. • Verbal and non-verbal behaviour. • Sensitive topics and emotional burden. • Power differences in research. • Interactive aspects of data collection. • Proxy and triad interviewing. • Visual data collection methods. • Aided recall measures. • Timeline and Life History Calendar tools. • Development of tools and instruments. Hence this session invites papers dealing with innovative data collection approaches that seek to meet the challenges in collecting structured data from special populations. / I would like to invite you all to have a look. We are looking forward to receiving your contributions BEFORE THE 15TH OF OCTOBER. More information can be found here: https://isaconf.confex.com/isaconf/forum2025/webprogrampreliminary/Session2… With kind regards, VANESSA TORRES VAN GRINSVEN | Assistant Professor Open Universiteit Faculty of Psychology | Section Theory, Methods and Statistics Visiting address: Valkenburgerweg 177 Heerlen, the Netherlands Postal address: Postbus 2960 6401 DL Heerlen, the Netherlands vanessa.torresvangrinsven(a)ou.nl University of Cologne Faculty of Human Sciences Department of Special Education and Rehabilitation Chair Research Methodology - guest researcher[1] Links: ------ [1]
