Hello and thank you for viewing Harvard@Home.
As you requested, this e-mail serves to notify you that the
Harvard@Home program, "Improving Survey Research" has been released.
Improving Survey Research: Anchoring Vignettes
Gary King (David Florence Professor of Government) offers a wide range
of researchers, policymakers, pollsters, and others help in addressing
two critical problems in conducting survey research: how to measure
complicated concepts and how to ensure that respondents understand the
intent and meaning of the survey questions. Professor King introduces
the method of anchoring vignettes -- descriptions of hypothetical
people or situations that survey researchers can use to correct survey
responses that people of different cultures, races, sexes, or countries
may interpret in incomparable ways.
This program features an hour of video content available in RealPlayer,
QuickTime, and WindowsMedia formats.
