People with training in the humanities or qualitative social science often inquire about research jobs at @pewresearch.org. The humanities & qualitative research are valuable. However, most of our research uses methods of quantitative social science so we usually hire quantitative researchers.

Has anyone actually ever seen one of these Marquis Who's Who books? Isn't this an anachronism, like a phone book? I know someone who promotes "Who's Who?" inclusion in their bio but I can't remember anyone ever saying they've found "Who's Who" a useful resource to consult for any purpose.

What I miss from Old Twitter is international, ideological and interests breadth. OT had more perspectives from more places on more topics. I'm grateful for Bluesky's UI and the researchers and journalists here. My big Bluesky worry has always been how it will be financially sustainable.

Listen to @awmercer.bsky.social explain the problem of bogus respondents in opt-in online surveys

submitted 26 days ago • 0 comments

If you encounter what seems like an implausible survey finding, ask: 1. Were survey respondents selected randomly or was this an opt-in poll? 2. Could the results, especially for young adults, be driven by bogus respondents? Keep this post in mind: www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

Even in countries where few people view religion as very important, many hold beliefs in spirits and/or life after death. For example, few Swedes (7%) say religion is very important to them but nearly two-thirds believe in spirits in animals, parts of nature or objects.
