Dear Colleagues,
Apologies in advance for cross-posting.
Do you conduct survey research? Are you thinking of using surveys for a project? Is there even the slightest chance at some point during your career you will use surveys? If yes, this session is for you!
We cordially invite you to attend the AOM 2023 PDW
Ask the Experts:
The SAGE Handbook of Survey Development & Application
Time & Location: Saturday, August 5th 2:30-4:00PM Hynes Convention Center room 311
This PDW serves to introduce the recently published SAGE Handbook of Survey Development & Application (Eds: Drs. Lucy R. Ford & Terri A. Scandura) while giving attendees the opportunity to sit down with chapter authors. The handbook is relevant across the social sciences and is a practical resource for best practice survey recommendations and techniques while considering a broad range of topics, old and new.
In Phase 1 of the PDW, we introduce the following eight parts of the handbook and the chapters within:
· PART 1: Conceptual Issues and Operational Definition
· PART 2: Research Design Considerations
· PART 3: Item Development
· PART 4: Scale Improvement Methods
· PART 5: Data Collection
· PART 6: Data Management and Analysis
· PART 7: Research Production and Dissemination
· PART 8: Applications
Phase 2 of the PDW will be roundtables where the following chapter first authors will be available to answer your questions and more generally discuss their chapters:
