Submit your abstract this week: 5th Mobile Apps and Sensors in Surveys (MASS) Workshop in Washington DC
by Höhne, Jan Karem 27 Nov '23

27 Nov '23

***Apologies for cross-posting Dear colleagues, The abstract submission deadline for the 5th Mobile Apps and Sensors in Surveys (MASS) workshop ends this week (December 1, 2023 ). MASS takes place in Washington DC (USA) from March 6-7, 2024. Please find the MASS call here: https://massworkshop.org/2023/10/25/call-for-abstracts-for-5th-mass-worksho… This time, the Mobile Apps and Sensors in Surveys (MASS; see https://massworkshop.org/) workshop takes place jointly with the Current Innovations in Probability-based Household Internet Panel Research (CIPHER; see https://cesr.usc.edu/about_us) conference. CIPHER will be held from March 7-8, and presenters at either event are invited to attend both events. Context of the workshop Mobile devices allow researchers to collect data through built-in sensors, such as GPS, accelerometers, and other sensors, passively collect data in-browser, and use apps in addition to self-reports. Passive mobile data collection can potentially decrease measurement errors and reduce respondent burden. Active data collection using apps, camera, microphone, and other sensors allows researchers to broaden the research questions they want to study. Incorporating new measurements to augment or replace survey questions through sensors and apps brings challenges for representativeness, survey design and implementation, and measurement. This also includes ethical and legal considerations that are yet to be understood. The goal of this workshop is to bring together around 40 researchers from different disciplines to discuss the current state of their work on the use of mobile apps and sensors in survey data collection. The workshop is only open to people who are presenting a paper at CIPHER or MASS. Upon acceptance participants are expected to submit a handout (max. of 5 pages). The fourth MASS workshop was held at the University of Manchester in June 2023 (see https://massworkshop.org/2022/04/13/materials_2023/). Importantly, even though MASS and CIPHER take place jointly, both events manage their submission and registration process separately. Researchers are eligible to submit abstracts to MASS and CIPHER, but the content of the abstracts must differ and should be tailored to the scope of the events. Participants accepted for CIPHER can also participate in MASS, and vice versa. Topic scope of the workshop For the fifth MASS workshop, we invite contributions that focus, among others, on the following issues when using mobile apps and sensors in surveys: - Technical aspects of mobile apps and sensors o Different ways to collect sensor data o Building apps for Android and iOS o Data processing and storage - Study and app design o Look and feel of apps o Usability studies o Use of incentives o Giving feedback to respondents - Implementation o Willingness to participate and informed consent o Methods to invite and communicate with study participants o Study length and study intensity o Legal considerations o Ethical and privacy considerations - Quality of sensor data o Errors of non-representation (e.g., self-selection, coverage, and non-participation) o Measurement error (e.g., prevention, modeling, and correction) - Data analysis o Analyzing sensor data (e.g., through machine and deep learning) o Combining survey, sensor, and app data We specifically encourage submission of work in progress and are particularly interested in studies that used an experimental design to test strategies to collect data using mobile apps and sensors successfully. We are open to both empirical studies as well as descriptions of data collection infrastructure (e.g., front- or backend of an app) and processing of data from apps and sensors. Travel support for PhD students MASS workshop can provide travel support (up to $600) for PhD students. PhD students who want to be considered for travel support need to state this in their submission email and provide an explanation for why they should be considered for travel support. Submission process and timeline Please submit your abstract (max. 500 words) for the workshop to hoehne(a)dzhw.eu<mailto:hoehne@dzhw.eu>. The abstract should contain a research question, data collection procedures/the description of the app, and results if available. If results are not available yet, the abstract should outline the type of analyses that will be presented at the workshop and whether data collection took place already. Participation in the workshop is only possible when an abstract is accepted for the workshop. We intend to keep the workshop limited to about 40 participants. Timeline: 01 December 2023: Deadline for abstract submission 10 December 2023: Feedback on acceptance will be provided 15 February 2024: Deadline for handout submission - all participants will be required to submit a 5-page handout presenting context, screenshots, tables, or other supporting materials for the workshop. Participants are expected to read all handouts before coming to the workshop. 06 March 2024: Start of MASS workshop We are really looking forward to your MASS submissions.

CfA für Tagung zu "Social Norms"
by Heinz Leitgöb 09 Nov '23

09 Nov '23

Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen, im Namen von Andreas Diekmann darf ich Sie auf den nachfolgenden Call for Abstracts hinweisen. Herzliche Grüße Heinz Leitgöb ****************************************************************************************** Social Norms: Emergence, Stability, Social Change Conference at Centro Stefano Franscini, Monte Verita, Ascona, Switzerland, July 7 to 10, 2024 Organized by Andreas Diekmann, University of Leipzig & ETH Zurich and Jörg Rössel, Univiversiy of Zurich Social norms are fundamental for the social cohesion of societies. They constrain human actions, but they are also of essential importance in enabling us to act at all, coordinate actions and solve cooperation problems. Theoretical and empirical studies of social norms are conducted across disciplines in sociology, psychology, behavioral economics, political science, philosophy, and other social and human sciences. While much of existing research is concerned with compliance with social norms, in the planned conference we will also focus particular attention on analyses of the emergence and change of social norms. While the main thrust of the conference is on the explanation of norm emergence and norm change, systematic studies of international/cultural differences in norms or historical change of norms are also welcome. In addition, we will focus on applications of the findings from research on how social norms change and operate. Today, there are numerous new findings in this field, which are particularly relevant in the context of the climate problem and energy transition but also for other currently debated issues like changing gender norms and the use of artificial intelligence, to name just a few. Since norms also constrain human action, they might be perceived as harmful by those who are subject to the norms or by external observers. One example is the practice of "female genital mutilation" (FMG). The conference will bring together early career and senior researchers from various countries and disciplines to share new research findings. Presentations may focus on both basic research, such as the development of new theoretical perspectives and the testing of theories, and policy-relevant applications of norms research. Key topics are: (1) New perspectives, hypotheses, and empirical findings concerning the emergence of social norms. (2) Addressing the question on how to measure social norms. Contributions from different methodological perspectives are welcome. (3) Studies on international/cultural differences in norms of historical change of social norms. (4) The state of knowledge on conditions that contribute to the change of social norms or to cultural differences in social norms. (5) The contribution of social norms to ensure social cooperation. (6) Stability of social norms. The role of rewards and sanctions. (7) The emergence, change, and decay of signaling norms. (8) Inducing change when norms are “sticky” and detrimental. (9) Applications of norm research in the area of e.g. energy transition, development policies, health behavior, law making, gender relations, artificial intelligence and other fields. (10) Other norm-related topics. Keynote lectures by: Cristina Bicchieri, Philosophy, University of Pennsylvania, USA; Karl-Dieter Opp, Sociology, University of Leipzig, Germany; Linda Steg, Psychology, University of Groningen, NL; Sonja Vogt, Economics, University of Lausanne, Switzerland Registration fee (including excursion to Isola Bella) 150 CHF Board and lodging (3 nights Monte Verita, breakfast/lunch/dinner) 645 CHF Conference website: https://www.sozphil.uni-leipzig.de/institut-fuer-soziologie/social-norms-wo… Submission of abstracts until February 15th, 2024 to: social.norms(a)uni-leipzig.de Supported by CSF, DFG grant to AD, Universities of Leipzig and Zurich, Academy of Sociology

CfP: Advances in survey sampling with social media advertisements
by Weiss, Bernd 30 Oct '23

30 Oct '23

*** Apologies for cross-posting *** Call for Papers: Special Issue in International Journal of Social Research Methodology<https://www.tandfonline.com/journals/tsrm20> Advances in survey sampling with social media advertisements Guest editors: Steffen Pötzschke<https://www.gesis.org/en/institute/staff/person/steffen.poetzschke>a, Michael Zoorob<https://michaelzoorob.com/about/>b, Bernd Weiß<https://www.gesis.org/en/institute/staff/person/bernd.weiss>a aGESIS – Leibniz Institute for the Social Science , bMeta Platforms We invite paper submissions on “Advances in survey sampling with social media advertisements” for a tentatively approved special issue in the International Journal of Social Research Methodology<https://www.tandfonline.com/journals/tsrm20> (IJSRM). Survey sampling with social media advertisements was virtually non-existent a decade ago, but it has been increasingly adopted in recent years, especially for otherwise hard-to-reach populations. The increasing use of the approach warrants a more systematic review of its methodological particularities, advantages, disadvantages, and challenges; as well as practical and theoretical knowledge sharing of best practices using this method. Submissions to the issue will either (a) describe empirical research that samples via social media advertising and sheds light on relevant methodological questions or (b) make novel theoretical or methodological contributions. Please note that the call is not limited to research using a specific social media platform. Possible topics include, but are not limited to, the following: ● Discussion of suitable/innovative use cases (e.g., surveying otherwise hard-to-reach populations), ● Comparing social media recruited samples to external benchmarks or to one another, ● Strategies for measuring and mitigating bias, ● Influence of different features of ad campaigns – such as campaign optimization strategies, campaign length, audience targeting, ad placements, text, and images/video – on the cost and sample composition of social media recruited samples, ● Use of AI-based optimization features (such as lookalike audiences and automated A/B testing) and their impact on the survey process and sample composition, ● Use of advertisements in combination with chatbots, messenger services or survey apps, ● Role and impact of the design decisions taken regarding features comparable to “classic” survey design elements (e.g., wording of advertisements in their function as survey invitation), ● Impact and management of other contextual factors – such as user comments on advertisements, the advertiser’s identity or timing of the survey, ● Ethical and data privacy considerations, and ● Insights from social media survey sampling about social media platform algorithms or survey research methods more broadly. Please submit extended abstracts (a maximum of 1000 words), along with co-authors and affiliations, to ad-sampling-si(a)gesis.org<mailto:ad-sampling-si@gesis.org> by January 12, 2024. We anticipate providing feedback on acceptance in Spring 2024. Please note that IJSRM has a two-stage submission process for Special Issues<https://files.taylorandfrancis.com/TSRM_SpecialIssue_Guidelines.pdf>. After an initial review and expression of interest in the Special Issue proposal, the editors have invited us to submit a Stage 2 proposal. Timeline * October 25, 2023: Call for Papers issued * January 12, 2024: Extended abstracts due * February 5, 2024: Authors are informed about inclusion in stage two submission to the journal * February 9, 2024: Stage 2 submission * Spring 2024: Upon final acceptance of the Special Issue, authors receive feedback on their papers and an invitation to submit a full paper. Full papers will be due for submission six months after this date. Reviewing process The Special Issue will apply a multi-stage reviewing process. First, the submission of an extended abstract (maximum of 1,000 words) is required. These extended abstracts are mandatory and serve as a basis for the guest editors to decide on the inclusion of individual papers in the stage 2 submission to the journal. After the positive review of the Special Issue, authors are invited to submit a full paper which will be subject to peer-review with at least two experts in the field. Please direct any questions to ad-sampling-si(a)gesis.org<mailto:ad-sampling-si@gesis.org> Find this CfP online: https://www.gesis.org/en/gesis-panel/gesis-panel-home/calls

DGOF Best Paper Award 2024 - Deadline: Oct 31
by Florian Keusch 24 Oct '23

24 Oct '23

Dear colleagues, This is a friendly reminder that the deadline for submissions for the DGOF Best Paper Award 2024 is approaching. Please consider submitting your published peer-reviewed work related to online research by Oct 31. Best regards, Florian Keusch *** DGOF Best Paper Award 2024 The German Society for Online Research (DGOF) annually recognizes outstanding scientific contributions in online research through the DGOF Best Paper Award for a researcher or group of researchers. The DGOF by-laws define “online research” as any type of research about computers or other devices that are connected by a network, in particular the Internet. Online research includes online based data collection (e.g., web surveys in online panels), mobile research with smartphones, tablets, and wearables, and the collection and analysis of social media data, administrative data, data from passive measurements, and other Big Data sources. The prize will be awarded to a paper that provides a fundamental scientific contribution to the advancement of the methods of online research. Topics that are suitable for the award can be found in the program of the annual General Online Research (GOR) conference (www.gor.de). Both theoretical/conceptual and empirical/methodological papers are considered for the award. Papers that do not focus on online research but, for example, merely use online data collection (e.g., through a web survey) to answer a substantive research question will not be considered. The award is worth 500 Euro and will be presented at the annual GOR conference. An abstract (and, if available, a preprint) of the award-winning paper will be posted to the DGOF website (www.dgof.de). To be considered for the award, papers must be published in an outlet that uses a peer-review process (e.g., peer-reviewed journal, full papers in peer-reviewed conference proceedings, refereed book chapter) at the time of submission. Papers written in German or English and published not earlier than 2022 (if the paper was published online-first, then the online-first publication date counts) can be submitted for the DGOF Best Paper Award 2024. To be considered for the DGOF Best Paper Award 2024, please fill in the following application form (https://www.dgof.de/forschungsfoerderung/application-dgof-best-paper-award-…) by 31 October 2023. In addition, please send the following material to office(a)dgof.de (subject line: “DGOF Best Paper Award 2024”): Copy (PDF) of the published paper CV of corresponding author The winner will be selected by a committee installed by the DGOF board.
