A case study is then presented drawing upon recent teacher survey data collections in…

This quantitative research sought to answer two questions: (a) What is the factor structure of emic and etic constructs?; and (b) How much do the extracted factors explain the variance of emic and etic constructs within the survey? These questions were answered through the use of an exploratory factor analysis. A total of 294 counselors…

This article is about making correction in Tarray, Singh, and Zaizai model and further improving it when stratified random sampling is necessary. This is done by using optional randomized response technique in stratified sampling using a combination of Mangat and Singh, Mangat, and Greenberg et al. models. The suggested model has been studied…

In this study, we collected mixed method social network data alongside a survey of people who inject drugs (PWID) to assess key assumptions of respondent-driven sampling (RDS). We found adherence to some assumptions and non-adherence to others. Specifically, sampling did occur through a connected network of PWID and the reported degree size of…

Event history calendars (EHCs) are frequently used in social measurement to capture important information about the time ordering of events in people's lives and enable inference about the relationships of the events with other outcomes of interest. To date, EHCs have primarily been designed for face-to-face or telephone survey interviewing, and…

Recent debates about qualitative methods have discussed the relative limitations and contributions of interviews in comparison to surveys and participant observation.
