Practical considerations for developing and implementing a video mode for survey data collection
Video interviewing was uncommon in large-scale survey research until the COVID-19 pandemic began in 2020. During the pandemic, many organizations conducting inperson research needed to pivot quickly to other modes of data collection, and some began exploring the viability of video interviewing. In the absence of a foundational body of literature on how to implement video interviewing, researchers relied on small-scale exploratory research to deve…
How Training Affects Interviewer Performance Over Time: A Field Experiment with a Large-scale National Representative Survey
There is abundant literature about interviewer effects on the survey process, but studies of interviewer training are quite limited. Previous research has produced mixed findings on how training affects interviewer performance. Trainings are often conducted in person despite the mixed findings. There has been no research that examines the use of videoconferencing as a medium for training field survey interviewers. We conducted an interviewer trai…
The Mobilizing Effects of Economic Threats and Resources on the Formation of Local Occupy Wall Street Protest Groups in 2011
This paper examines how threatening economic conditions and preexisting community resources facilitated the spread of Occupy Wall Street protest groups to more than 600 counties in the continental United States in 2011. Using a generalized linear mixed model, we find that economic threats and accessible resources are complementary facilitators of movement mobilization. But contrary to the expectations based on earlier media and scholarly accounts…
Which resources matter for what impacts? Resource mobilization and impacts of local SMOs in rural Lithuania, 2004-2006
Resource Mobilization Theory (RMT) posits that the key to social movement organizations’ (SMOs’) success is their ability to mobilize resources. Yet there has been little research verifying this claim. This study uses the case of post-Soviet rural Lithuania to test the link between human, social, material, and organizational resources of SMOs and three types of organizational impacts: issue awareness, local support, and media coverage. Using orig…
Total Survey Error in Practice
This book provides an overview of the TSE framework and current TSE research as related to survey design, data collection, estimation, and analysis. It recognizes that survey data affects many public policy and business decisions and thus focuses on the framework for understanding and improving survey data quality. The book also addresses issues with data quality in official statistics and in social, opinion, and market research as these fields c…
Resource Mobilization Theory
The broader resource mobilization approach, though underutilized, remains relevant to analyzing the full spectrum of social movement challenges to hegemonic authority across the full range of social and political institutions. This entry sketches core features of the resource mobilization perspective by categorizing five resource types – material, human, social‐organizational, cultural and moral; mechanisms of resource access; and the exchange re…
Labour parties, ideas transfer and ideological positioning: Australia and Britain compared
As part of this special issue examining policy transfer between the Labour parties in Australia and Britain, this paper seeks to explore the relationship between the two on ideological positioning. In the 1990s there was substantial ideas transfer from the Australian Hawke–Keating government to Blair ‘New Labour’ in Britain, as both parties made a lunge towards the economic centre. This paper analyses how the inheritors of that shift, the Rudd/Gi…
Sampling Social Movement Organizations
Scholars of nonprofits, interest groups, civic associations, and social movement organizations employ samples of organizations derived from directories or other available listings. In most cases, we are unable to evaluate the representativeness of these samples. Using data on the population of environmental organizations in North Carolina, we assess the methodological strengths and weaknesses of widely used strategies. We find that reliance on an…
Hard-to-Survey Populations
Surveys are used extensively in psychology, sociology and business, as well as many other areas, but they are becoming increasingly difficult to conduct. Some segments of the population are hard to sample, some are hard to find, others are hard to persuade to participate in surveys, and still others are hard to interview. This book offers the first systematic look at the populations and settings that make surveys hard to conduct and at the method…
Strategic incapacitation and the policing of Occupy Wall Street protests in New York City, 2011
The US national response to the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks accelerated the adoption and refinement of a new repertoire of protest policing we call ‘strategic incapacitation’ now employed by law enforcement agencies nationwide to police protest demonstrations. The occupation movement which formally began 17 September 2011 was the most significant social movement to utilise transgressive protest tactics in the United States in the last 40 …
Legitimacy Management, Preservation of Exchange Relationships, and the Dissolution of the Mobilization for Global Justice Coalition
Throughout much of 2001 the Mobilization for Global Justice Coalition (MGJC) planned a series of mass demonstrations targeting the World Bank and International Monetary Fund to occur in Washington, DC in late September. The terrorist attacks of September 11 created a crisis for the 117 social movement organizations (SMO) involved in the broad-based coalition and forced protest leaders to reevaluate their coalition strategy. This analysis chronicl…

Resource Mobilization Theory
A renaissance of social movement research occurred in both North America and Europe during the 1970s as a then younger generation of scholars sought to understand the emergence, significance, and effects of the social movements of the 1960s (see Jenkins 1983; McAdam et al. 1988; Dalton et al. 1990). On neither side of the Atlantic did the received academic wisdom of the 1950s and 1960s view social movements in a favorable light. In the US, the mo…
Buildings and Place: Farmsteads and the Mapping of Change
Recent work in Hampshire and elsewhere has demonstrated how we can adopt a more inter-disciplinary approach towards historic farmsteads in order to relate the differing patterns of survival, dateable fabric and form to those of historic land use and settlement. New techniques for mapping landscape character have considerable potential for the field of vernacular architecture, but they also highlight the importance of ensuring that records are pro…
The Organizational Structure of Local Environmentalism
Based on a survey of the population of local environmental organizations in North Carolina, this article addresses fundamental questions about how local organizations are structured, their orientation toward strategy and social change, their activities, and their perceived impacts. By comparing subsets of local organizations in terms of their geographic scope, degree of professionalization, and tactical repertoires, we identify important patterns…
Advocacy Organizations in the U.S. Political Process
We examine scholarship on the role and influence of advocacy organizations in the U.S. political process. We identify common theoretical questions in the disconnected literatures on social movements, interest groups, and nonprofits, and we propose a unifying conceptual framework for examining advocacy organizations. Focusing on the post-1960s growth in advocacy organizations, we examine major organizational characteristics including organizationa…
Strategy Matters: The Contingent Value of Social Capital in the Survival of Local Social Movement Organizations
Social capital plays a central role in facilitating the mobilization of social movement organizations (SMOs). Do the initial mobilization advantages of social capital persist, however, as movement organizations evolve? And do the strategies pursued by social movement organizations affect these advantages? We investigate these questions through a broad empirical analysis of factors affecting the short-term persistence of local chapters of Mothers …
Social Movement Organizations Beyond The Beltway: Understanding The Diversity Of One Social Movement Industry
This article utilizes a unique data set on a nationally representative sample of one social movement industry (groups working for peace) operating in the U.S. during the late 1980s. The data include the full spectrum of SMOs, which we divide into organizational domains that roughly parallel prior research and currently available secondary data sources: (1) numerous, but generally quite small groups that operate without tax-exempt status; (2) smal…
Gender and Evacuation: A Closer Look at Why Women Are More Likely to Evacuate for Hurricanes
Studies of hurricane evacuation have often noted that women are more likely than men to evacuate, yet few examined those differences and tried to explain them. This paper undertakes a series of bivariate and multivariate analyses to examine the relationship between evacuation and gendered variations in socioeconomic status, care-giving roles in the household, evacuation incentives, exposure to risks, and perception of risk. A series of hypotheses…
Beyond Tocqueville: Civil Society and the Social Capital Debate in Comparative Perspective
Recent discussion about the role of civil society in democratic governance around the world and the decline of social capital in the US has raised pressing theoretical and empirical questions about the character of contemporary societies and the social and institutional correlates of sound and dynamic democracies. This debate has reached a North American and European audience that extends well beyond academia. The predominant refrain in the debat…
Heading for higher ground: Factors affecting real and hypothetical hurricane evacuation behavior
The purpose of this paper is to assess the determinants of hurricane evacuation behavior of North Carolina coastal households during Hurricane Bonnie and a future hypothetical hurricane. We use the data from a telephone survey of North Carolina coastal residents. Hypothetical questions are used to assess whether respondents will evacuate and where in the case of a future hurricane with varying intensities. We examine the social, economic, and ris…

Experiential Learning in Sociology: Service Learning and Other Community-Based Learning Initiatives
Despite increased popularity and a strong pedagogical tradition, the literature on community-based learning (CBL) initiatives and service learning evidences a certain conceptual imprecision. In the hopes of clarifying definitional ambiguities, we critically review the CBL literature, identifying six distinct types of CBL options and their characteristics. The result is a hierarchy of community-based learning, which while not proposed as a definit…
The Paradox of Civil Society
The Paradox of Civil Society Michael W. Foley and Bob Edwards (bio) The “civil society argument,” as Michael Walzer calls it, is actually a complex set of arguments, not all of which are congruent. 1 In the rough pastiche that has become the commonly accepted version, a “dense network of civil associations” is said to promote the stability and effectiveness of the democratic polity through both the effects of association on citizens’ “habits of t…

Is It Time to Disinvest in Social Capital
In an effort at theoretical clarification, the authors reviewed 45 recent articles reporting empirical research employing the concept of ‘social capital’. The literature is roughly equally divided between those who treat social capital as an independent variable and those who consider it as a dependent variable, and between those who operationalize the concept principally in terms of norms, values and attitudes and those who choose a more social …

Civil Society and Social Capital Beyond Putnam
Both civil society and social capital have proven useful heuristics for drawing attention to neglected nonmarket aspects of social reality and constitute a needed corrective to narrowly economistic models. However, both break down, although in different ways, when treated as the basis for elaborating testable hypotheses and further theory. Civil society is most useful in polemical or normative contexts, but attempts to distinguish it from other s…

From Charity to Justice: The Potential of University-Community Collaboration for Social Change
The authors synthesize what has been learned from the two-issue series of American Behavioral Scientist on universities' responses to troubled times. They argue that educators and community leaders should channel the vast resources of volunteerism toward social change for a more just society and discuss ways that service-learning endeavors contribute to this process. They contrast the current state of higher education with a vision of a transform…

Survival strategies for peace groups
Organizational survival for peace groups is but a means to pursue a more peaceful world order; it should not become an end in itself. Nevertheless, as long as peace groups survive, they carry visions of peace and justice. U.S. peace movement organizations, for example, have played an important role in constructing a less belligerent U.S. foreign policy. As William Gamson found in his classic study of social movement challenges to the status quo, …
