A Panel Study of the Dynamics of Change

在这个项目中，将收集关于社会转型中三个社区的社区取向、文化和参与的第三波小组调查。被调查者是来自每个社区的代表性样本，他们在2011-2013年的第一波中接受了采访，在2015-2016年的第二波中再次接受了采访。随着时间的推移，一系列的观察将有助于评估个人经历和重大事件在促使个人改变取向方面的重要性。该项目收集的数据将扩大教育课程多样化的基础设施，使其他研究人员受益，并对课堂教学有用。该项目提供的见解可能会为国家安全提供信息。经过适当修改的前几波问题将在测试后用于第三次调查，以确保他们被正确理解。来自第二轮调查的受访者，每个社区超过2000人，将通过各种措施重新访谈，以尽量减少人员流失，包括尽可能使用相同的采访者。将建立指数，以便审查关键概念的趋势。固定效应统计模型将用于检验因果关系。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

In this project the third wave of a panel survey concerning the community orientation, culture, and engagements of three communities in the midst of social transformations will be collected. Those surveyed are representative samples from each community, who were interviewed in the first wave in 2011-2013 and re-interviewed in the second wave in 2015-2016. The series of observations over time will enable assessment of the significance of personal experiences and major events in prompting individuals to change orientations. The data that this project collects will expand the infrastructure for the diversification of the educational curriculum, benefit other researchers, and are useful for instructional purposes in the classrooms. The insights provided by this project may inform national security. Appropriately modified questions from previous waves will be used for the third survey after testing to ensure they are understood properly. Respondents from the second wave of the survey, over 2,000 for each community, will be re-interviewed with various measures used to minimize attrition, including use of the same interviewers where possible. Indices will be constructed in order to examine trends in key concepts. Fixed effects statistical models will be used to examine causal relationships.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
