The Impact of Religious Exclusivism on Outgroup Attitudes
Religiously diverse societies are often portrayed as marked by tensions between exclusive worldviews and aspirations toward inclusive and cohesive social relations. These tensions are particularly salient in religious contexts, where deeply held convictions about truth and moral order may coexist uneasily with ideals of tolerance and mutual recognition. A central question emerging from this dilemma is how religious worldviews shape evaluations of…
The impact of religious identity on intergroup encounters
In recent decades, social cohesion in Western societies has been progressively undermined, leading to increased polarisation and fragmentation. Efforts to counteract this trend have included organising intergroup activities to restore trust and foster ‘bridge-building’ between different communities. While social psychology has extensively explored the dynamics of intergroup encounters, particularly in terms of their ability to promote successful …
Improving Social Quality in Housing Complexes for Older Adults: Professional Support as a Necessary Condition
Social quality in housing complexes for older adults depends largely on the opportunities to participate in social activities and the social connections between residents in the complex. The aim of this mixed-methods study was to explore the possibilities of residents in low-income housing complexes to improve the social quality in their complexes, and to get insight into their need for professional support. Results showed that the self-organizin…
History and Institutions in the Rebuilding of Social Capital after Forced Resettlement in the Philippines and Indonesia
Resettlement results in the loss of social capital from which poor households can draw resources for sustenance, survival and wellbeing. While Putnam deems social capital formation as pre-determined by a community’s history of civic engagement, the institutional view argues that social capital is generated through the institutions’ interventions. Utilising a comparative approach involving two resettlement sites, one in the Philippines and one in …

Can Third-party Help Improve Data Quality in Research Interviews? A Natural Experiment in a Hard-to-study Population
In some survey research settings, it may be not attainable or optimal to interview individual respondents without involving bystanders or third parties in the interview. Due to complex living circumstances or group culture, respondents may be helped by others in answering questions. However, this involvement of third parties raises questions about data quality and poses a challenge to the data collection process. Recognizing this, a natural field…

Calendar Interviewing and the Use of Landmark Events – Implications for Cross-cultural Surveys
This paper discusses potential methodological issues in the design and implementation of calendar recall aids such as the Life History Calendar for cross-cultural surveys. More specifically, it aims to provide insights into how the use of landmark events in calendar interviewing may be influenced by cross-cultural variability. As an example, we compare the landmark events reported by Dutch and American respondents in two studies in which calendar…
Personal Landmarks as Recall Aids in Survey Interviews
Personal landmarks are a central element of calendar survey methods. These data collection methods use a graphical time frame in which specific landmark events can be described next to the respondents' life history. The theoretical ideas in this article suggest that landmarks are most effective as a recall aid if they are important, domain-related, and personal events. The data originate from a calendar method that was embedded in a telephone sur…
Applications of calendar instruments in social surveys: A review
Retrospective reports in survey interviews and questionnaires are subject to many types of recall error, which affect completeness, consistency, and dating accuracy. Concerns about this problem have led to the development of so-called calendar instruments, or timeline techniques. These aided recall procedures have been designed to help respondents gain better access to long-term memory by providing a graphical time frame in which life history inf…
Do Interviewers' Voice Characteristics Influence Cooperation Rates in Telephone Surveys
Although telephone interviewing is one of the major data collection methods used in survey research and response rates have been declining for years, the effects of the interviewers’ voice characteristics on the cooperation of respondents have hardly been studied. The decision to participate in a telephone survey results from a complex of factors (Dillman, Gallegos, & Rencher, 1976; Groves & Couper, 1998; Groves & McGonnacle, 2001). Yet, the inte…
Effects of Measures Aimed At Increasing the Quality of Recall Data
De l'effet de mesures visant à améliorer la qualité des données basée sur le souvenir. Dans une expérience menée sur terrain. on a testé l'effet de quatre mesures différentes tendant à améliorer la qualité des données de questions rétrospectives: 1) une liste de contrôle pour les données factuelles, 2) l'utilisation d'une procédure de mémorisation allant du plus recent vers le plus ancien plutôt que la procédure contralre du plus ancien vers le p…
