Applying Web-Based Survey Design Standards

Abstract

Web-based surveys are used as research tools in a wide range of disciplines. Web-based surveys present a unique set of challenges concerning survey design, not known in previous survey modes. The flexibility of screen design allows for Web-based surveys to take on many appearances, some having a negative impact on data quality. In this article, we propose and illustrate several Web-based survey design standards developed by researchers based on several projects involving Web-based surveys. These standards have been developed from theory and practice and should provide practical advice for researchers and a platform for future research in Web-based survey design.

因特网对国际法的影响

因特网消除了传统主权国家的疆界 ,便于用新的组织性手段来制订、适用和执行法律。因特网使人们更容易获悉法律规范 ,因而促进了自愿遵守。因特网通过增进取得示范法 ,从而有利于协调国家间的法。因特网促进了制定规范机制的运作 ,便于实施和强制执行机构发挥作用。由于因特网能够促进非政府组织的活动 ,因而也增强了非政府组织的力量。网络的结果将有可能加快国际法从以国家为中心的传统中挣脱出来的趋势。同时 ,它还使国际人权法出现新的变化

Parental management,ADHD, and delinquent involvement: Reassessing Gottfredson and Hirschi's general theory

A core proposition of Gottfredson and Hirschi's general theory of crime is that ineffective parenting fosters low self-control in children, which leads to delinquent conduct. Using a sample of 2,472 students, we examined the impact of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) on self-control and delinquency. The analysis revealed three main findings. First, low self-control was a strong predictor of both self-reported delinquency and self-reported arrests. Second, parental monitoring not only increased self-control, but had direct effects on both measures of delinquency. Third, the effects of ADHD on delinquency were largely through low self-control.
