Comparative Study of Electoral Systems (CSES) Module 5 (English Version) - Cognitive Pretest
Zusammenfassung:
The Comparative Study of Electoral Systems (CSES) is a collaborative program of research among election study teams from around the world. Participating countries and provinces include a common module of survey questions in their post-election studies. The resulting data are deposited along with voting, demographic, district and macro/electoral system variables.
The subject of this pretest are various questions of the 5th module on topics such as political interest, attitudes towards political elites, attitudes towards immigrants, national identity and attitudes towards income redistribution.
The questions were tested via face-to-face cognitive interviews.
*Note: The items were tested in German. The items documented here are English translations of the original German wordings.The translations do not correspond exactly to the formulations in the English CSES source questionnaire.*

Projektbeschreibung:
The Comparative Study of Electoral Systems (CSES) is a collaborative program of research among election study teams from around the world. Participating countries and provinces include a common module of survey questions in their post-election studies. The resulting data are deposited along with voting, demographic, district and macro/electoral system variables. The studies are then merged into a single, free, public dataset for use in comparative study and cross-level analysis.
In preparation of the 2016 Plenary Session in August 2016, at which the project foresees the official adaption of the questionnaire for Module 5, the purpose of this task is to provide the projects secretariat, planning committee, and collaborators with detailed results from a cognitive pretest of selected questions.
