Multiple Investigator Common Vehicle Study of Political Persuasion and Attitude Change

小行星9309946 这项调查有两个基本目标。 第一个是探索个人如何利用他们在日常生活中获得的信息来修改或改变他们的观点。 通过关注不同形式的信息，例如，政策建议的来源或提出建议的具体条款，调查人员的目标是发展动态和静态的政治信仰的帐户。 第二个目标是证明多个调查员使用一个共同的研究工具的经济性。 通过让调查人员共享相同的调查，并利用实验设计和计算机辅助访谈，由13所不同大学的17名调查人员进行的12项研究，可以进行大约一项传统的全国性调查的成本。 这个项目应该大大提高我们的信息采集和研究调查技术，促进可靠性，有效性和规模经济的理解。 ***

9309946 Sniderman This investigation has two fundamental objectives. The first is to explore how individuals take advantage of information they may pick up in the course of an ordinary day to modify or change their opinions. By focusing on different forms of information, for example, the source of a policy proposal or the specific terms in which the proposal is put, the investigators aim to develop an account of the dynamics as well as the statics of political beliefs. The second objective is to demonstrate the economies of multiple investigators using a common research vehicle. By having investigators share the same survey, and by taking advantage of experimental design and computer-assisted interviewing, twelve studies, conducted by seventeen investigators at thirteen different universities, can be carried for approximately the cost of one conventional, national survey. This project should substantially enhance our understanding of information acquisition and research investigation techniques that promote reliability, validity and economies of scale. ***
