本文讨论了制定跨国定量调查质量标准的方法。提出了制定标准的五种概念方法，并讨论了每种方法的特性和后果。目的是为研究人员在特定情况下选择特定方法提供一套合理的论据。在跨国研究中，质量标准的制定尤其复杂，因为国家之间的许多因素存在差异，而这些因素通常在单一国家研究的背景下被视为“固定”的设计限制。欧洲社会调查发展过程中出现的一些例子说明了这种变化。本文还讨论了质量标准实施和维护中的一些相关问题。
This paper addresses methods for the development of quality standards for cross-national quantitative surveys. Five conceptual approaches to the development of standards are presented and the properties and consequences of each are discussed. The aim is to provide researchers with a rational set of arguments for choosing a particular approach in a given situation. The development of quality standards is particularly complicated in the case of cross-national research, owing to variability between nations in a number of factors that might typically be considered as ‘fixed’ design constraints in the context of single-country studies. This variability is illustrated by a number of examples that arose in the course of development of the European Social Survey. The paper also touches upon some related issues in the implementation and maintenance of quality standards.
