Facciani, Matthew; Brashears, Matthew E.; Zhong, Jingwen – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2022
Textual vignettes are a widely popular research tool, but they assume literacy and reading comprehension skills that limit their utility for both research with disadvantaged populations and cross-national research. We describe a new visual vignette approach, based on approaches used in studying populations with lower verbal ability, that avoids…

Kapinga, Laura; Huizinga, Rik; Shaker, Reza – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2022
This paper contributes to current debates on positionality by critically discussing and comparing three researchers' experiences doing research involving Muslims. We introduce "positionality meetings" to enhance reflexivity in qualitative research projects. Based on empirical evidence from our independent projects and the positionality…

Quinn, Anthony; Denney, David; Hardwick, Nick; Jalil, Rahul; Meek, Rosie – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2022
The benefits of government administrative data are well-established, but research has not examined processes by which these data can be identified, organised and governed in line with ethical considerations. This is an important undertaking given the potential benefits of robust administrative data, especially at a time when the collection of…

Murray, Órla Meadhbh – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2022
Institutional ethnography (IE) is a feminist approach to research focusing on the organising power of texts and language. This paper explores "how" to analyse texts in IE while considering the importance of reflexivity and accountability to feminist research. Based on a five year study of UK university audit processes, I developed a…

Hilbert, Sven; Pargent, Florian; Kraus, Elisabeth; Naumann, Felix; Eichhorn, Kathryn; Ungar, Patrizia; Bühner, Markus – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2022
Two studies were conducted to investigate how self-ratings on questionnaire items reflect the underlying real-scores. Participants gave numerical information about personal attributes (the real-scores), such as age, height, and weight, and subsequently rated themselves regarding these attributes. In Study 1, they rated themselves on a five-point…

Cernat, Alexandru; Keusch, Florian – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2022
Surveys continue to be a popular way of collecting data in the social sciences. But, despite their popularity they have a number of limitations including the possibility of changing the behaviour of respondents. Such mere-measure or question-behaviour effects can compromise the external validity of social data. In this article, we use digital…

Buchanan, Ryan M.; Cook, Charlotte; Khakoo, Salim I.; Parkes, Julie – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2022
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…

Dooley, Jemima – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2022
The impact of public participants in data analysis has been reported, but there is little research on public involvement of analysis of naturally occurring interactional data. Four video recordings of clinicians from out of hours primary care services visiting care home residents with dementia were analysed in data sessions involving 12 people…

Gavras, Konstantin; Höhne, Jan Karem – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2022
The rise of smartphone surveys, coupled with technological advancements, provide new ways for measuring respondents' political attitudes. The use of open questions with requests for voice answers instead of text answers may simplify the answer process and provide nuanced information. So far, research comparing the measurement quality of text and…

Hibben, Kristen Cibelli; Felderer, Barbara; Conrad, Frederick G. – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2022
Answering questions completely, accurately and honestly is not always the top priority for survey respondents. How might researchers motivate respondents to be more conscientious? One possibility is to elicit agreement from respondents to work hard and provide complete and accurate information. In their pioneering work in the 1970s and 80s,…

Barbrook-Johnson, Pete; Carrick, Jayne – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2022
Research methods with roots in complexity science are increasingly popular in social research. However, they are not widespread and have potential to deliver value more fully and consistently to social research and methodology. One reason for this is that methods are often used alone, or only with traditional social research methods. We attempt to…

Srour, F. Jordan; Karkoulian, Silva – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2022
The literature provides multiple measures of diversity along a single demographic dimension, but when it comes to studying the interaction of multiple diversity types (e.g. age, gender, and race), the field of useable measures diminishes. We present the use of decision trees as a machine learning technique to automatically identify the…

Romanowich, Paul; Chen, Qian – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2022
Predictive power of many behavioral measures relies on high test-retest reliability, whereby a measure yields similar data when repeated measure administration occurs at spaced-out intervals. However, major environmental disruptions between measure administration may impact test-retest reliability. The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic caused…

Mthuli, Syanda Alpheous; Ruffin, Fayth; Singh, Nikita – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2022
Qualitative research sample size determination has always been a contentious and confusing issue. Studies are often vague when explaining the processes and justifications that have been used to determine sample size and strategy. Some provide no mention of sampling at all, whilst others rely too heavily on the concept of saturation for determining…

Archer-Kuhn, Beth; Beltrano, Natalie R.; Hughes, Judith; Saini, Michael; Tam, Dora – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2022
COVID-19 has required researchers to change methods to better reflect the new realities of social distancing, sheltering in place, and the use of extended quarantines to isolate from the community. The paper illustrates the implications of shifting recruitment strategies midstream with populations that are already normally considered…
