Development of inclusive quantitative survey instruments in youth research: the example of friendships and peer-relationships among young people with disabilities

德语地区的青年研究缺乏对青年的包容性观点：没有关于残疾青年的系统实证研究；也没有关于适当调查方法的实质性讨论。尤其是大规模的定量青年研究通常不涉及残疾青年；或者在主要针对普通人群的样本中无法确定这一群体。此外，青年研究手册忽视了对与残疾青年有关的关键专题的讨论。政府融合报告或《联合国残疾人权利公约》等官方来源强调，缺乏包容性的研究战略，需要关于残疾人的差异化研究数据。此外，在社会科学领域，相关的青年研究缺乏适当的数据收集方法。探索对(青年)残疾人进行定量调查以测试和制定方法的可能性的方法学研究领域还不够发达。该研究项目以一个具体的研究问题为基础，致力于开发管理残疾青年调查的量化工具。其目的是制定适用于各类残疾的数据收集战略和工具。研究方法的选择需要考虑与各种特殊需要相关的可能的多样性，例如，感觉或身体残疾、智力残疾或学习困难、心理健康或情感残疾、言语障碍或多重残疾。包容性研究战略避免以有条不紊的障碍为基础系统性地将残疾青年排除在外的研究设计。这项研究的组织方式如下：-样本设计和探索可能的获取途径--开发与数据收集模式和各种类型的残疾相对应的调查工具--对调查工具进行实证测试(关于设计问卷的一般标准以及不同数据收集模式的比较)--开发多维工具和传播调查结果。

Youth research in the German-language area lacks inclusive perspectives on young people: there is no systematic empirical research on young people with disabilities; and there is no substantiated discussion about appropriate survey methods. Especially large-scale quantitative youth studies usually do not address young people with disabilities; or this group cannot be identified within samples mainly targeting the general population. Furthermore, youth research handbooks neglect the discussion of key-topics with regard to young people with disabilities. Official sources like governmental integration reports or the UN-Convention of the Rights Persons with Disabilities emphasise the lack of inclusive research strategies and the need for differentiated research data about disabled people. Also in the social sciences appropriate methods of data collection in related youth research are missing. The area of methodological studies exploring the possibilities of quantitative surveys of (young) people with disabilities with the aim of testing and developing methods is underdeveloped. On the basis of a specific research question the research project is dedicated to the development of quantitative instruments for administering surveys among young people with disabilities. The aim is the development of strategies and instruments of data collection that are appropriate for the various types of disability. The choice of research methods needs to consider the possible diversity of special needs associated with, for instance, sensory or physical disability, intellectual disabilities or learning difficulties, mental health or emotional disabilities, speech impediments, or multiple disabilities. Inclusive research strategies avoid research designs that systematically exclude young people with disabilities on the basis of methodical barriers. The study is organised in the following way: - Sample design and exploration of possible access paths - Development of survey instruments corresponding to modes of data collection and to various types of disabilities of young people - Empirical testing of survey instruments (with regard to general criteria of designing questionnaires as well as the comparison of different modes of data collection) - Development of multi-dimensional instruments and dissemination of findings.
