The question of how cooperation and social order can evolve from a
Hobbesian state of nature of a "war of all against all" has always
been at the core of social scientific inquiry. Social dilemmas are
the main analytical paradigm used by social scientists to explain
competition, cooperation, and conflict in human groups. The formal
analysis of social dilemmas allows for identifying the conditions
under which cooperation evolves or unravels. This knowledge informs
the design of institutions that promote cooperative behavior. Yet
to gain practical relevance in policymaking and institutional
design, predictions derived from the analysis of social dilemmas
must be put to an empirical test. The collection of articles in
this book gives an overview of state-of-the-art research on social
dilemmas, institutions, and the evolution of cooperation. It covers
theoretical contributions and offers a broad range of examples on
how theoretical insights can be empirically verified and applied to
cooperation problems in everyday life. By bringing together a group
of distinguished scholars, the book fills an important gap in
sociological scholarship and addresses some of the most interesting
questions of human sociality.
This state-of-the-art volume provides insight into the recent
developments in survey research. It covers topics like: survey
modes and response effects, bio indicators and paradata,
interviewer and survey error, mixed-mode panels, sensitive
questions, conducting web surveys and access panels, coping with
non-response, and handling missing data. The authors are leading
scientists in the field, and discuss the latest methods and
challenges with respect to these topics. Each of the book's eight
parts starts with a brief chapter that provides an historical
context along with an overview of today's most critical survey
methods. Chapters in the sections focus on research applications in
practice and discuss results from field studies. As such, the book
will help researchers design surveys according to today's best
practices. The book's website www.survey-methodology.de provides
additional information, statistical analyses, tables and figures.
An indispensable reference for practicing researchers and
methodologists or any professional who uses surveys in their work,
this book also serves as a supplement for graduate or upper
level-undergraduate courses on survey methods taught in psychology,
sociology, education, economics, and business. Although the book
focuses on European findings, all of the research is discussed with
reference to the entire survey-methodology area, including the US.
As such, the insights in this book will apply to surveys conducted
around the world.
