Ranjit K.

However, it also shows that it is better to derive a harmonization solution for single-item measures from a sample that is drawn from a similar population to the population you are interested in researching.</p><p><a href="https://doi.org/10.1080/13645579.2025.2481112" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">doi.org/10.1080/13645579.2025.</span><span class="invisible">2481112</span></a></p><p><a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/surveyresearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>surveyresearch</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/surveymethods" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>surveymethods</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/harmonization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>harmonization</span></a></p>
Ranjit K. Singh<p>In a new paper, I simulate the consequences of combining survey data without proper harmonization techniques. </p><p>I demonstrate that there is a plausible risk of biased correlative analyses based on the integrated data, if we do not harmonize measurement units across different survey sources and instruments first.</p><p><a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/surveyresearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>surveyresearch</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/surveymethods" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>surveymethods</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/harmonization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>harmonization</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://doi.org/10.5964/miss.11217" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">doi.org/10.5964/miss.11217</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
Ranjit K. Singh<p>Together with Cornelia Neuert and Tenko Raykov, I looked into "Assessing conceptual comparability of single-item survey instruments with a mixed-methods approach".<br>Innovations are using a confirmatory factor analysis on a collection of single item instruments and comparing it with qualitative findings from probing questions.</p><p>To illustrate the approach, we assessed the comparability of social (dis-)trust questions.</p><p><a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/surveyresearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>surveyresearch</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/harmonization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>harmonization</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://doi.org/10.1007/s11135-023-01801-w" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">doi.org/10.1007/s11135-023-018</span><span class="invisible">01-w</span></a></p>
