Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A large volume of academic research has demonstrated that individuals who profess radical political ideology, both left- and right-wing, tend to share similar underlying psychological patterns. By utilizing data collected through a voting advice application in Sweden, this study aims to assess whether extreme leftists and rightists share similarities in the psychological and political understanding of how society functions. We propose three hypotheses to test this pattern: Extreme left and right individuals are more inclined to believe in conspiracy theories than moderates; they are more likely to have negative economic evaluations; and they are less politically and interpersonally trustful. By means of hierarchical regression analyses, we reveal a quadratic relationship between extreme political ideology and conspiracy beliefs. Moreover, we find a similar linkage between ideology and economic evaluations. However, the empirical analyses fail to provide evidence that extreme ideology is related to lower political and interpersonal trust. © 2017, PsychOpen. All Rights Reserved.

Invitation Timing and Participation Rates in Online Panels: Findings From Two Survey Experiments

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Falling participation rates is one of the most significant challenges facing survey research today. To curb this negative trend, scholars have searched for factors that can increase and decrease citizens’ willingness to participate in surveys. In this article, we investigate the timing effects of survey invitation e-mails on participation rates in a university-based online panel with members of the Swedish public. Through two large-scale experimental studies, we examine whether the day of week (N = 11,294) and time of day (N = 47,279) for sending out survey invitations impact participation rates. We also ask respondents when they prefer to answer surveys. We find that the timing of survey invitations affects participation rates, however, the effects are small, short-lived, and even out within a week. We also find that the effects of timing vary by employment status and age. The results have implications for scholars and practitioners who utilize online panels for web surveys. When quick answers are important, there may be some limited gains of tailoring the timing of the survey invitation to different individuals. In surveys with more extended field periods, however, such efforts seem less warranted.

Afternoon and morning dispatch effects on participation rates
- 2014
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This mini-note examines whether sending out e-mail invites to participate in a survey is affected by at what time during the day the dispatch is made. Irrespective of how the participation rate is measured, the difference is below 0.5 percent, a non-significant difference.

Auto-coding versus manual coding of most important problem. LORE methodological note 2014:6
- 2014
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- A manual coding of the open-ended most important problem question is compared with a keyword auto-coding routine. This evaluation shows that 92 percent of about 11,000 responses are coded the same across 35 categories. Correlations with party preference are very similar. Auto-coding can be a good alternative to manual coding when resources are scarce. It may even be more reliable than manual coding, since the coding is performed the same way each time.

Device used to answer web surveys – data quality. LORE methodological note 2014:12
- 2014
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- There seem to be no cause for concern regarding data quality differences between desktop/laptop computers on one hand and tablet and smartphones on the other, at least for the time being. However, small but significant differences in terms of item nonresponse and time use, combined with a slow increase in use of handheld devices as shown in Note 2014:11, indicate that survey methodologists might need to keep an eye on future developments.

Device used to answer web surveys – demographics and stability. LORE methodological note 2014:11
- 2014
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Objective and subjective measures of on-line survey response device are both shown to be reliable. Smartphones are more often used by women, the young and the highly educated, while the opposite is true for desktop and laptop computers. The use of computers to respond to surveys is very common, though there are indications that it is slowly decreasing.

Hur upplever gravida och deras partners Covid-19 pandemin?
- 2020
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Att bli gravid och föda barn är livsomvälvande händelser. I arbetet med att förhindra smittspridningen har restriktioner införts på mödravårdscentraler och sjukhus, och för de många gravida har detta inneburit att mödrar inte fått ha med sig partners till ultraljud eller andra vårdbesök, att föräldra- och förlossningskurser ställts in, att partners med förkylningssymtom inte fått delta vid förlossning och att partnern på vissa sjukhus inte fått följa med till BB efter förlossningen. Med denna vetskap kan vi anta att gravida mödrar och deras partners är mer oroliga för coronaviruset, tänker oftare på det och dess konsekvenser, samt upplever sig mer påverkade av pandemin än den genomsnittlige individen. I den här rapporten visar vi hur utsatta de gravida och deras partners upplever att de är under pandemin och hur deras upplevelser ser ut i jämförelse med andra gruppers upplevda utsatthet. Till vår hjälp har vi resultat från SOM-undersökningen om coronaviruset 2020 samt Graviditetspanelen, som genomförs inom ramen för forskningsprogrammet Gothenburg Research Program on Pregnancy and Politics (PregDem)
