Call for Papers 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. To submit a presentation abstract, sign up or log in to the ESRA website: http://www.europeansurveyresearch.org After logging in to your account, click "Submit paper" and follow the instructions. 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. We are looking forward to your proposals. Best Jessica and Christof
