过去数十年,民意调查的范围显著扩大。虽然需要来自日益多样化的国家的可比数据,导致一些人推断调查做法必须集中和相同,但明确纳入国家之间的差异可能会大大改善跨国研究的事业。本文探讨了跨国研究在全球范围内持续传播所面临的一些挑战,包括跨国调查机构和使用二手数据的分析师。关于前者,我们研究最近的变化,比较调查研究的“产品”,以及越来越多的认识,提高调查质量和意义的等效性可能来自本地化的理解和规范。我们还探讨了个人分析师如何为更广泛的比较工作提供重要的实质性和方法论见解,通过将方法论创新从位于繁荣国家的调查开发者转移到拥有分布在更广泛地理区域的二手数据的分析师,进一步推进非殖民化方法。
Past decades have witnessed significant expansion in the reach of public opinion surveys. While the need for comparable data from increasingly heterogeneous countries has led some to infer that survey practices must be centralized and identical, the explicit inclusion of variation between countries may well improve the enterprise of cross-national research. This paper examines some of the challenges endemic to the continued global spread of cross-national research, both at the level of cross-national survey bodies and the analyst using second-hand data. With regard to the former, we examine recent changes in the ‘product’ of comparative survey research, and the increasing recognition that improvements in both survey quality and equivalence of meaning may come from localized understandings and specifications. We also explore how individual analysts might provide important substantive and methodological insights into the broader enterprise of comparative work, further advancing decolonized methodologies by devolving methodological innovation from survey developers located in prosperous countries to analysts with second-hand data spread across a broader geography.
