Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2006 The Descartes Prize "for excellence in collaborative scientific research" With the expansion of the European Union and the development of supra-national governance worldwide, the volume of cross-national data and the importance of rigorous comparative analysis has grown rapidly. This book, written by members of the design and implementation team for the groundbreaking European Social Survey (ESS), reviews current best practice in the conduct of cross-national, cross-cultural quantitative research. The first eight chapters cover the background and rationale for the Survey and offer a detailed analysis of the methods and procedures used, as well as exploring ways to overcome the obstacles to successful cross-national research. The final chapter looks ahead to future comparative surveys and discusses the lessons that can be learned from the ESS. As well as examining methodological issues, Measuring Attitudes Cross-Nationally includes four substantive chapters on the findings of the ESS, including the emergence of hitherto unknown national differences in values regarding immigration and perceptions of citizenship. The ESS data is also considered in comparison with that from US General Social Survey. Measuring Attitudes Cross-Nationally offers a practical guide, firmly grounded in theory, for researchers across the social sciences who have an interest the design, planning or interpretation of cross-national social surveys.

Download or read book A Tracking Study on Attitudes Towards the Elderly written by and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A serious impediment to public support and adequate care for the elderly has been a lack of information regarding ageing and the highlighting of negatives in the media or stereotyping in advertising. In January 1987, the Elderly Services Branch undertook a public education program to foster positive attitudes to seniors and to encourage a practical response to their needs from every sector of the community. A major component of the program was a 60-second television commercial designed to challenge and change current negative stereotypes of the elderly. This report presents a study conducted to measure the impact of this campaign on public perceptions and attitudes toward seniors. Study methodology involved two sets of telephone interviews, one before and one after the campaign. Interviews were with both the general public and with professionals who work with the elderly. The results identify changes that occurred among respondents in the areas of advertising awareness, attitudes toward seniors, and attitudes toward (and involvement in) volunteer work with seniors. A storyboard of the television commercial and a copy of the interview questionnaire are appended.
