Negated and Polar Opposite Items for Balanced Scale construction: An Empirical Cross-Cultural Assessment

Fernanda Alvarado-Leiton

Acquiescent Response Style (ARS) is a culturally patterned measurement error in surveys that threatens comparisons across groups with different cultural backgrounds potentially undermining inclusivity estimating attitudes and beliefs in a population. Balanced scales blend items written in different directions and are hypothesized as a method for controlling ARS. This study examined the differences in measurement properties between two types of balanced scales. The first balanced scale type included negated items, which were item reversals formed by inserting a negation, such as, “no” and “not.” The second type included polar opposite items, which used antonyms or opposite terms to reverse the item direction (e.g., “unhappy” as the opposite of “satisfied”). Participants were recruited to a Web survey and randomly assigned to (1) unbalanced, (2) negated balanced or (3) polar opposite balanced scales. Participants came from three groups with different ARS tendencies to contrast the effects of scale wording in mitigating ARS across groups and improving measurement across cultural subgroups. These groups were: Non-Hispanic White respondents, Hispanic respondents in Mexico and Hispanic respondents in the US. Both types of balanced scales outperformed unbalanced scales in convergent validity, with higher correlations between scale scores and validation variables for balanced than unbalanced scales. No statistical differences were observed between negated and polar opposite scales in fit indices of factor models, reliability measures or convergent validity for any group. These findings suggest that negated and polar opposite balanced scales are equivalent for ARS control, and that they yield adequate measurement properties for all groups included in the study.

Response Style and Measurement of Satisfaction with Life

Sunghee Lee

Satisfaction with Life (SWL), a five-item scale, is designed to assess global judgment about one’s satisfaction with life as a whole rather than specific domains of life. Popularly used by many organizations, including the World Health Organization (WHO), the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), it has been translated into over 30 languages. However, with its standard version using a 7-point Likert response scale, it is subject to measurement error due to response style and measurement non-comparability across groups associated with systematically different response styles. More importantly, whether and how this is addressed in research may have implications for its inclusivity. This study examines the utility of balancing the SWL scale experimentally with multiple racial/ethnic/linguistic groups in the US: Latinx dominant in English, Latinx dominant in Spanish, non- Latinx Whites, non-Latinx Blacks, non-Latinx Koreans dominant in English and non-Latinx Koreans dominant in Korean. The results suggest the benefit of balancing measurement scales but not for groups that engage in middle response style.

Reducing Acquiescent Response Style with Conversational Interviewing

Rachel Davis

Acquiescent response style (ARS), the tendency for survey respondents to select positive answers such as “Strongly Agree,” is of particular concern for increasing measurement error in surveys with populations who are more likely to acquiesce, such as U.S. Latinx respondents. This study enrolled 891 Latinx telephone survey respondents in an experiment to address two questions: (1) Does administering a questionnaire using conversational interviewing (CI) yield less ARS than standardized interviewing (SI)? (2) Do item-specific (IS) response scales reduce ARS when compared to disagree/agree (DA) response formats? No difference was observed in ARS between the DA and IS response scales. However, CI yielded significantly lower ARS than SI, likely due to the CI interviewers' efforts to clarify questions and help with response mapping. Findings from this study suggest that using CI to administer survey questions may decrease use of ARS and improve data quality among survey respondents who are more likely to engage in ARS.

Representative Research: Assessing Diversity in Online Samples
Wednesday, November 10, noon to 1:10pm Eastern via Zoom

Speaker: Frances Barlas
Vice President, Research Methods at Ipsos Public Affairs

In 2020, we saw a broader awakening to the continued systemic racism throughout all aspects of our society and heard renewed calls for racial justice. For the survey and market research industries, this has renewed questions about how well our industry does to ensure that our public opinion research captures the full set of diverse voices that make up the United States. These questions were reinforced in the wake of the 2020 election with the scrutiny faced by the polling industry and the role that voters of color played in the election. In this talk, we’ll consider how well online samples represent people of color in the United States. Results from studies that use both KnowledgePanel – a probability-based online panel – and non-probability online samples will be shared. We’ll discuss some strategies for ways to improve our sample quality.

Dr. Frances Barlas is a Senior Vice President and the lead KnowledgePanel Methodologist for Ipsos. She has worked in the survey and market research industries for 20 years. In her current role, she is charged with overseeing and advancing the statistical integrity and operational efficiency of KnowledgePanel, the largest probability-based panel in the US, and other Ipsos research assets. Her research interests focus on survey measurement and online survey data quality. She holds a Ph.D. in Sociology from Temple University.

Equity & Inclusion in Accessible Survey Design
Wednesday, December 8, noon to 1:10pm ET via Zoom (link to come)
Speaker: Scott Crawford (Founder and Chief Vision Officer, SoundRocket)

As we work to adapt research designs to make use of new technologies (web and smart devices), it is also important to consider how study design and survey design may impact those who rely on assistive technology. Sections 508 (covering use of accessible information and communication technology) and 501(addressing reasonable accommodation) of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 compliance standards have been around for a long time—but the survey research industry has often taken the path providing reasonable (non-technological) accommodations for study participants. These often involve alternate modes of data collection, but rarely provide a truly equitable solution for study participation. If a web-based survey is not compliant with assistive technologies, the participant may be offered the option of completing a survey with an interviewer. Survey methodologists know well that introducing a live human interaction may change how participants respond—especially if the study involves sensitive topics. Imagine a workplace survey on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion where a sight-impaired employee is asked to answer questions about how they are treated in their workplace, but they are required to answer these questions through an interviewer, and not privately via a website. Not only is this request not equitable for the employee (fully sighted employees get to respond more privately), it can also bias the results if the participant is not honest about the struggle for fear of receiving backlash from their employer if the interviewer passed along their frustrations. In the act of being denied equitable participation, future decisions will then be made on potentially faulty results about the experience of such people.

In this presentation, I will focus on developing an equitable research design, partially through considering the overall study—not just the technology itself. But we will also share experiences in the development of a highly accessible web-based survey that is compliant with screen reading technology (screen readers, mouse input grids, voice, keyboard navigation, etc.). I will present experimental, anecdotal, and descriptive experiences with accessible web-based surveys and research designs in higher education student, faculty, and staff surveys conducted on the topic of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Our results will be directly relevant for inclusion and equity in these settings as well as some surprising unintended positive consequences of some of these design decisions. Lastly, I will also share some next steps for where the field may go in continuing to improve in these areas.

Since the pandemic emerged in early 2020, the global economy and the way we do business has fundamentally changed. We have seen huge disruptions to supply chains around the world, vast disparities in health outcomes among different populations, work and education models shifted to remote and hybrid environments, and the highest levels of inflation in recent times. As we enter the third year of the pandemic, join University of Michigan experts Gabe Ehrlich, Samantha Keppler, Sarah Miller, and Nirupama Rao to hear about what we can expect from business and the economy in 2022. They will dive into topics related to education, healthcare, supply chain, and employment and inflation issues.

Beyond Privacy: Fairness in How Personal Data is Used in Our New Digital World (January 28, 2022 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/91217 91217-21677398@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 28, 2022 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Information and Technology Services (ITS)

Starting from revealing the reason why January 28 is celebrated as “Data Privacy” Day, this talk will explain why there is a difference between “data protection” and “privacy”, which are two different rights recognized as such at constitutional level in Europe and a couple of jurisdictions in Latin America - most recently in Brazil, and manifesting distinctively elsewhere even when not expressly recognized by law as being two different rights. It is essential to understand this difference, because it has consequences in the age of automated decision-making and algorithms that impact people and their communities. Looking at several real-life cases from the past three years adjudicated in Europe and all involving a form of automated decision-making underpinned by processing of personal data, this talk will underline how the essential elements of data protection law - including fairness, transparency, individual control over personal data - are shaping up the safeguarding of individual rights in the new digital world. The presentation will end with a look towards several large jurisdictions which are adopting data protection specific laws, everywhere around the world, from California, to Brazil, China, Kenya and India.

Dr. Florian Schaub, Assistant Professor of Information, School of Information and Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, College of Engineering, will be facilitating Q&A time after the keynote presentation.

Unstructured clinical data, such as clinical notes and reports, along with the computational infrastructure and tools, have seen an increasing demand from the research community in the last years, mostly fueled by recent advances in statistical and machine-learning approaches to data insight. We are meeting this demand with the Information Commons – a research data platform that hosts and provides direct access to de-identified data, advanced analytics tools, and computational environments for our research community. 

While we are realizing access to de-identified electronic health records, images, omics and biobank data, this session highlights the progress made to provide more than 110 million de-identified notes to the research community. We developed and operationalized a fully automatic de-identification algorithm and implemented EMERSE, a user-friendly tool for non-programmatic access and sophisticated textual searches on the de-identified clinical notes.   

As of December 2021 Our de-identification algorithm and our clinical notes are certified de-identified and are currently available for the UCSF researchers with IRD. The presentation covers the entire pipeline from data extraction to publication and data access focusing on the secured computational infrastructure. Furthermore, we discuss the rigorous evaluation techniques to ensure the quality of the deidentification process and the resulting data according to HIPAA and UCSF Security and Privacy protection requirements. Lastly, we showcase highlights from our research collaborations enabled by this new resource of machine-redacted, unstructured clinical notes linked with de-identified structured EHR data using EMERSE and their impact on the research community.

ISR Inclusive Research Matters
Giving Rare Populations a Voice in Public Opinion Research: Pew Research Center’s Strategies for Surveying Muslim Americans, Jewish Americans, and Other Populations
April 6, 2022, noon ET via Zoom

Speaker: Courtney Kennedy, Director of Survey Research at Pew Research Center

Abstract:

A typical public opinion survey cannot provide reliable insights into the attitudes and experiences of relatively small and diverse religious groups, such as adults identifying as Jewish or Muslim. Not only are the sample sizes too small, but adults who speak languages such as Russian, Arabic, or Farsi (and not English) are excluded from interviewing. This presentation discusses how Pew Research Center has sought to address this research gap by fielding large, multilingual probability-based surveys of special populations. Examples include the Center’s 2017 Survey of Muslim Americans and the 2020 Survey of Jewish Americans. These studies present numerous challenges in sampling, recruitment, crafting appropriate questions, and weighting. The presentation will also discuss the Center’s methods for studying racial and ethnic populations with the goal of reporting on diversity within these populations, as opposed to treated them as monolithic groups.

Bio:

Courtney Kennedy is director of survey research at Pew Research Center. Her team is responsible for the design of the Center’s U.S. surveys and maintenance of the American Trends Panel. Kennedy conducts experimental research to improve the accuracy of public opinion polls. Her research focuses on nonresponse, weighting, modes of administration and sampling frames. Her work has been published in Public Opinion Quarterly, the Journal of Survey Statistics and Methodology and the Journal of Official Statistics. She has served as a co-author on five American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR) task force reports, including chairing the committee that evaluated polling in the 2016 presidential election. Prior to joining Pew Research Center, Kennedy served as vice president of the advanced methods group at Abt SRBI, where she was responsible for designing complex surveys and assessing data quality. She has served as a statistical consultant for the U.S. Census Bureau’s decennial census and panels convened by the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine. Kennedy has a doctorate from the University of Michigan and a master’s degree from the University of Maryland, both in survey methodology. She received bachelor’s degrees from the University of Michigan in statistics and political science. Kennedy has served as AAPOR standards chair and conference chair.

Nearly 1 in 4 individuals report a disability, yet current health care is poorly equipped to care for them. Individuals with disabilities report miscommunication, inaccessible health equipment and facilities, reduced awareness and training by health care providers, and low patient satisfaction while struggling with inadequate health literacy. These factors contribute to existing health inequities. Rethinking and redesigning our health care through the guidance of innovative clinics and programs is needed to address these inequities and care for these individuals effectively. This webinar will review current models and strategies that could be widely adopted in health care. These steps can make health care more inclusive and equitable.

This is the second of two webinars on the total data quality framework. In this webinar, we will continue our discussion on measuring total data quality. The focus will then turn to tools and techniques for maximizing total data quality (such as responsive and adaptive survey design for designed survey data, weighting approaches, and tools for repairing linkage error). We will present a series of examples considering data from real studies, where the concepts introduced will be applied to vet the total quality of the data sets analyzed. Small-group exercises will be used to give participants hands-on experience with applying some of the concepts discussed to assess data quality.

This course will provide participants with an overview of the primary concepts underlying RSD. This will include discussion of the uncertainty in survey design, the role of paradata, or data describing the data collection process, in informing decisions, and potential RSD interventions. These interventions include timing and sequence of modes, techniques for efficiently deploying incentives, and combining two-phase sampling with other design changes. Interventions appropriate for face-to-face, telephone, web, mail and mixed-mode surveys will be discussed. Using the Total Survey Error (TSE) framework, the main concepts behind these designs will be explained with a focus on how these principles are designed to simultaneously control survey errors and survey costs. Examples of RSD in both large and small studies will be provided as motivation. Small group exercises will help participants to think through some of the common questions that need to be answered when employing RSD.

This webinar will explore several well-developed examples of RSD. Dr. West will serve as a moderator of the webinar, and also introduce a case study from the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG). The instructors will then provide independent examples of the implementation of RSD in different international surveys using face-to-face and telephone modes of data collection. All case studies will be supplemented with discussions of issues regarding the development and implementation of RSD. Case studies will include the NSFG, the Relationship Dynamics and Social Life (RDSL) survey, and the Netherlands Survey of Consumer Satisfaction, among others. This variety of case studies will reflect a diversity of survey conditions. The NSFG (West) is a cross-sectional survey that is run on a continuous basis with in-person interviewing. The RDSL (West) is a small-scale panel survey that employed a mixed-mode approach to collecting weekly journal data from a panel of young women. The Netherlands Survey of Consumer Satisfaction (Schouten) is a mixed-mode survey combining web and mail survey data collection with telephone interviewing. The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (AddHealth; Murphy) employs adaptive design in a longitudinal framework, using web, mail, telephone, and face-to-face modes of data collection. The focus of the course will be on practical tools for implementing RSD in a variety of conditions, including small-scale surveys.

Case Studies in Responsive Design Research in Web Surveys

Webinar open for registration!

Th

Web surveys can be an inexpensive method for collecting data. This is especially true for designs that repeat measurement over several time periods. However, these relatively low-cost data collections may result in reduced data quality if the problem of nonresponse is ignored. This webinar will examine methods for using RSD to effectively deploy scarce resources in order to minimize the risk of nonresponse bias.
Recent experiences with the University of Michigan Campus Climate Survey (UM-CCS), the National Survey of College Graduates (NSCG), and the Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS) are used to illustrate this point. These surveys are all defined by phased designs and multiple modes of contact. This approach improves survey outcomes, including response rates, representativeness, and cost by using alternative contact methods in later phases to recruit sample members from subgroups that were less likely to respond in earlier phases. These surveys demonstrate the benefit of RSD in web surveys across a variety of different samples sizes, and both small and large budgets and management teams. As a result, lessons from these experiences can be directly applied in many similar settings.

This first webinar in a two-part series on implementing interventions in a responsive design framework will discuss a variety of potential RSD interventions. Many of these have been implemented experimentally, and the course will include evaluations of those experiments. The importance of experimental evaluations in early phases of RSD will be discussed. Methods for implementing interventions will also be discussed, including implementation of experiments aimed at evaluating new interventions. Strategies for implementing these interventions with both interviewer-mediated and self-administered (e.g., web and mail) surveys will be discussed. Methods for the evaluation of the results of the interventions (experimental and otherwise) will be considered. These evaluations will include measures of both costs and errors.

Brady T. West is a Research Professor in the Survey Methodology Program, located within the Survey Research Center at the Institute for Social Research on the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor (U-M) campus. He earned his PhD from the Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science in 2011. Before that, he received an MA in Applied Statistics from the U-M Statistics Department in 2002, being recognized as an Outstanding First-year Applied Masters student, and a BS in Statistics with Highest Honors and Highest Distinction from the U-M Statistics Department in 2001. His current research interests include the implications of measurement error in auxiliary variables and survey paradata for survey estimation, selection bias in surveys, responsive/adaptive survey design, interviewer effects, and multilevel regression models for clustered and longitudinal data. He is the lead author of a book comparing different statistical software packages in terms of their mixed-effects modeling procedures (Linear Mixed Models: A Practical Guide using Statistical Software, Third Edition, Chapman Hall/CRC Press, 2022), and he is a co-author of a second book entitled Applied Survey Data Analysis (with Steven Heeringa and Pat Berglund), the second edition of which was published by CRC Press in June 2017. He was elected as a Fellow of the American Statistical Association in 2022.

Among the numerous explanations that have been offered for recent errors in pre-election polls, selection bias due to non-ignorable partisan nonresponse bias, where the probability of responding to a poll is a function of the candidate preference that a poll is attempting to measure (even after conditioning on other relevant covariates used for weighting adjustments), has received relatively less focus in the academic literature. Under this type of selection mechanism, estimates of candidate preferences based on individual or aggregated polls may be subject to significant bias, even after standard weighting adjustments. Until recently, methods for measuring and adjusting for this type of non-ignorable selection bias have been unavailable. Fortunately, recent developments in the methodological literature have provided political researchers with easy-to-use measures of non-ignorable selection bias. In this study, we apply a new measure that has been developed specifically for estimated proportions to this challenging problem. We analyze data from 18 different pre-election polls: nine different telephone polls conducted in eight different states prior to the U.S. Presidential election in 2020, and nine different pre-election polls conducted either online or via telephone in Great Britain prior to the 2015 General Election. We rigorously evaluate the ability of this new measure to detect and adjust for selection bias in estimates of the proportion of likely voters that will vote for a specific candidate, using official outcomes from each election as benchmarks and alternative data sources for estimating key characteristics of the likely voter populations in each context.

The University of Michigan Program in Survey Methodology was established in 2001 seeking to train future generations of survey and data scientists. In 2021, we changed our name to the Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science. Our curriculum is concerned with a broad set of data sources including survey data, but also including social media posts, sensor data, and administrative records, as well as analytic methods for working with these new data sources. And we bring to data science a focus on data quality — which is not at the center of traditional data science. The new name speaks to what we teach and work on at the intersection of social research and data. The program offers doctorate and master of science degrees and a certificate through the University of Michigan. The program's home is the Institute for Social Research, the world's largest academically-based social science research institute.

Professor Richard Miech is Principal Investigator of Monitoring the Future, which since 1975 has drawn annual, nationally-representative samples of adolescents and tracked trends in adolescent drug use. His work focuses on trends in substance use, with an emphasis on disentangling how these trends vary by age, historical period, and birth cohort membership.

The national estimates of drug use from Monitoring the Future (MTF) serve as a gold standard in the field and are a key source of information for research, U.S. policymakers, and nonprofit organizations that seek to reduce teen drug use. For sample selection MTF uses a multistage, random sampling procedure that consists of (1) selection of a specific geographic areas, (2) selection of one or more high schools in each area, and (3) selection of students within each school. MTF has recently begun a revisit and overhaul of its sampling procedures, which were developed more than three decades ago. In this talk Professor Miech discusses this overhaul, including sampling challenges and issues that have arisen over the years, as well as opportunities to streamline and improve MTF sampling with new technology.

Explainability Is Not the Solution to Structural Challenges to AI in Medicine

Explainability is often treated as a necessary condition for ethical applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in Medicine. In this brief talk I survey some of the structural challenges facing the development and deployment of effective AI systems in health care to illustrate some of the limitations to explainability in addressing these challenges. This talk builds on prior work (London 2019, 2022) to illustrate how ambitions for AI in health care likely require significant changes to key aspects of health systems.

On the Inextricability of Explainability from Ethics: Explainable AI does not Ethical AI Make

Explainability is embedded into a plethora of legal, professional, and regulatory guidelines as it is often presumed that an ethical use of AI will require explainable algorithms. There is considerable controversy, however, as to whether post hoc explanations are computationally reliable, their value for decision-making, and the relational implications of their use in shared decision-making. This talk will explore the literature across these domains and argue that while post hoc explainability may be a reasonable technical goal, it should not be offered status as a moral standard by which AI use is judged to be ‘ethical.’

Location: School of Kinesiology Building
Organized By: School of Kinesiology

You're invited to the 2022 Katarina T. Borer Lectureship in Exercise Endocrinology & Metabolism on Friday, October 21. Dr. Andrea Hevener, professor and chair of Molecular Energy at the UCLA School of Medicine, will present "Estrogen Receptor Alpha (Esr1) Keeps Mitochondria In Shape—Strong Enough For A Man, But Made For A Woman."

*Abstract:* Sex differences in metabolic disease risk and incidence are well-described. Females show a reduced incidence of metabolic-related disease compared with males. However, this female-biased protection is lost during the menopausal transition. To gain mechanistic insight into the genetic drivers underlying the impact of biological sex on metabolism, we have interrogated multi-omic analyses from numerous human observational trials, as well as a novel 100-strain mouse panel. We find that skeletal muscle expression of ESR1 (encodes ERa) is positively correlated with insulin sensitivity, negatively correlated with adiposity, and reduced in the context of metabolic syndrome in human subjects. Because differences in metabolism between the sexes are often attributed to reproductive hormones, and because skeletal muscle is a primary tissue responsible for insulin-stimulated glucose disposal, we interrogated the impact of skeletal muscle-specific Esr1 loss and gain of expression on insulin sensitivity and metabolic health in the context of nutrient and physical activity challenge. The goal of the 2022 Borer Lecture is to provide a general overview of sex as biological variable in the control metabolism and advance mechanistic insight into the critical role of ERa in the maintenance of metabolic health. In aggregate, our studies provide improved understanding of the pathobiology of metabolic disease, and lay the important foundation for enhanced therapeutic targeting of metabolism and insulin sensitivity to prevent or reverse metabolic-related disorders.

The lecture runs from 3:30-4:30pm in School of Kinesiology Building Room 2600, followed by a reception from 4:30-5:30pm on the building's 4th floor. RSVP at http://myumi.ch/z15Xn. Zoom webinar option: http://myumi.ch/V74p9. Flyer: http://myumi.ch/1nzVx.
