Social Desirability and Non-Reactive Methods in Survey Research
Social desirability bias is a problem in surveys collecting data on
private or norm-violating issues (e.g. sexual behavior, health related
issues, voting preferences, income, or unsocial opinions) as soon as the
respondent’s true score differs from his or her perception of the social
desirable score. Due to the respondents’ strive for social approval and
keeping a favourable self-image as well as data protection concerns,
collecting valid data on private or norm-violating issues is a
challenging task. More specifically, respondents may engage in
impression management or self-deception or edit their answer before
reporting it. Non-reactive data collection methods could improve
measurements and data quality in surveys where social desirability bias
is a potential problem. Therefore, the possibilities and limits of
non-reactive methods (e.g. record linkage approaches, surveys without
questions, biomarkers, field experiments or administrative data usage)
will be critically discussed and compared to methods which are based on
self-reports.
This session has four main goals: (1) discussion of the theoretical
foundation of the research on social desirability bias in the context of
a general theory of human psychology and social behavior. A clearer
understanding of the social interactions between the actors that are
involved in the data collection process could provide empirical
researchers with a substantiated basis for optimizing their survey
design and data collection to achieve high quality data; (2)
presentation of current empirical research focusing on non-reactive
methods of data collection in connection with the problem of social
desirability; (3) discussion of new designs combining or contrasting
non-reactive methods with standard ‘question-and-answer’ survey
measurement in innovative ways; (4) exploration of possibilities of
integrating such new and innovative approaches in well-established,
large-scale population surveys taking into account problems of research
ethics and data protection.
Please submit an abstract via the ESRA website
http://www.europeansurveyresearch.org/conferences/register by 15 January
2015. Decisions about acceptance will be communicated by the end of
February 2015. Please forward this request for submissions to others who
may be interested in this session. Do not hesitate to contact us if you
have any queries about the session.
Thank you.

Call for Papers: Measuring social relations, social networks and social capital in comparative surveys
Session at the 6th Conference of the European Survey Research Association (ESRA), 13th to 17th July 2015 in Reykjavik, Iceland.
Organizers: Christof Wolf (GESIS) and Dominique Joye (University of Lausanne)
The measurement of social relations, social networks and social capital, here understood as resources accessible through one's social relations, has attracted a lot of attention. Dependent on the intended purpose there exists instruments to measure aspects of specific relations (spouse, best friend), instrument capturing "personal communities", i.e. the egocentric network approach, or instruments measuring social capital through, for example, social support questionnaires or the position or resource generators.
While we know a lot about the performance of these measures in a national context we lack information on their performance in comparative studies. This session therefore aims to explore the challenges posed by adapting survey instruments measuring social relations, social networks and social capital to a comparative, cross-national investigation. These challenges include problems of
* equivalence of the meaning of stimuli; e.g. do the terms "friends", "discuss important matters" or "to be close to someone" have the same meaning across countries.
* equivalence of resources; e.g. is knowing a person who can lend me money or who can repair my car equally important in all societies? or
* equivalence of occupations selected for the position generator; e.g. can we find a set of occupations that reflects the entire social structure of different countries equally well?
Of course, these are only few selected examples and there exists many more. We welcome all contributions investigating the challenges encountered when trying to measure social relations, network and capital in cross-national surveys
To submit a paper abstract, visit the conference website at http://www.europeansurveyresearch.org/conference and follow the instructions. Please do not forget to select this session from the list of sessions provided in the submission form. You may submit a maximum of two papers on which you are enlisted as presenting author. The closing date for submission of paper proposals is 15 January 2015.
Authors of selected papers will be invited to give an oral presentation of their paper. Presentations must be given in English.

6th Conference of the European Survey Research Association
Reykjavik, Iceland, July 13-17, 2015
Session: Measuring gender role attitudes
Chair: Jessica Walter, Christof Wolf
Dear colleagues,
we would like to draw your attention to the call for papers for our session "Measuring gender role attitudes" at the 6th Conference of the European Survey Research Association.
The session aims at discussing how equivalence of measures of gender role attitudes over time and across countries can be ensured and how these measures can be adjusted to social changes. The focus of the discussion is on adjustments of measures of gender role attitudes which improve the equivalence of measures and on best practices for an implementation of improved measures in cross-cultural or longitudinal surveys.
For analyses over time or/and across countries the equivalence of measures of gender role attitudes is crucial. Measures of gender role attitudes should not change over time and should not depend on the cultural context. Social changes such as a differentiation of family patterns and changes in (female) labor force participation and education challenge the assumption that the measures are equivalent over time. Based on these changes we suggest that the measures of gender role attitudes need to be revisited and updated. By doing so, different cultural contexts, which may limit the equivalence of measures of gender role attitudes across countries, also come into focus.
We welcome all papers which deal with the advancement of measures of gender role attitudes or use new measures of gender role attitudes with focus on analyses over time and/or across countries.

Dear colleagues,
The 6th Conference of the European Survey Research Association (ESRA) will take place 13th-17th July 2015 in Reykjavik, Iceland.
We invite you to submit papers to our session entitled: "Recent developments in the analysis of panel data".
Session abstract:
Panel data offer two major advantages compared to cross-sectional data:
1) They allow to identify causal effects under weaker assumptions (within estimation)
2) They allow to estimate individual trajectories over time (growth curve modeling)
Not all model classes that are available for panel data analysis, exploit these advantages fully.
There is much uncertainty amongst users, which kind of models to use. On the other side, there
are new model classes, for which it is quite unclear what the assumptions are that they need to
identify a causal effect (e.g. structural equation models for panel data, and multi-level models).
Therefore, we especially welcome papers that
1) compare different model classes and their usefulness for panel data analyses, or that
2) apply recently developed model classes and explicate their assumptions.
