DATA QUALITY

The RUSSET panel study did not only have quality control on the level of administrative tasks, such as sampling, interviewing, and data entry. There was also a strong focus on the quality of the measurement instruments (survey questions) that were used in the study. For many of the variables that were measured, there is specific information available about the validity and reliability of the measures. Both were assessed via multitrait multimethod experiments, sometimes combined with split ballot experiments. On this page a description will be given about all the methodological experiments that were done in the seven waves.

More information will be available later. This page is still under construction and is planned for completion in 2006
