1 25-5-2017 MESS Project An Advanced Multi-Disciplinary Facility for Measurement and Experimentation in the Social Sciences Marcel Das A brief history... 2005: Innovation platform Investment in Large-Scale Research Facilities 42 proposals, adding up to 1.5 billion Euros MESS Project: one of five projects which received funding 3 25-5-2017 Core element MESS project: LISS panel Online panel of 5,000 households 8,000 individuals (>= 16 years) Questionnaires each month, 30 min. Incentive 15 euro an hour (average) 4 8-6-2010 For scientific use, at no cost LISS panel Online interviews as method, but: Probability sample drawn from address sampling frame of Statistics Netherlands Includes households without Internet access (less than 15%): CentERdata provides equipment 5 8-6-2010 Contacted by letter, telephone or visit simPC Very small and silent Only the most frequently used functions Automatic maintenance, safety Simple operation and readable screens 6 8-6-2010 Installation and support Non-response patterns Similar to those of other leading scientific panels Superior to commercial access and volunteer panels: - no coverage problems - no selfselection 7 8-6-2010 Attention for difficult groups Correction by oversampling in refreshment of 2009 (with Statistics Netherlands) 8 25-5-2017 New immigrant panel (with Cross-cultural Psychology, Tilburg University and Statistics Netherlands) Respondents LISS panel: Get questionnaires every month Know: first Monday of the month Get also email invitation Can complete questionnaire at any time during the month Response rates: per day Management of the LISS panel 11 25-5-2017 Panel management system (1) • Online system developed by CentERdata • Easy overview of basic data (e.g. composition household) • Overview of all communication 12 25-5-2017 – electronic version of the exact letters that were sent – sent and received e-mail messages – SMS messages – availability of panel members (holiday, business trips, hospital stays, etc.) Panel management system (2) • Issue tracking system (problems) • Wizards to guide panel management to update information about the household • Tracking of devices (SimPC) • Statistics module (response, etc.) 13 25-5-2017 Panel management system (3) • Automated selection processes – via templates (standard selections) – scheduling to open questionnaires, to send invitations via e-mail or SMS – possibility for entering manual selections • Overview and management of incentive payments 14 25-5-2017 Use of the LISS panel 15 25-5-2017 Experimental modules Who can use the LISS panel: every researcher who wants to collect data for scientific, policy or societal relevant research Scientific research: Academic researchers, irrespective of nationality, can use the LISS panel at no cost 16 15-11-2010 Proposals can be submitted throughout the year Use of a subsample Effects of illness babies in first year on labour participation parents: Pregnant women, follow 3 years! Effects of the economic crisis on household portfolio choice: Panel members who own stocks Random subsample or experimental groups: different conditions Biomarker data collection: Blood cholesterol levels Diurnal salivary cortisol Waist circumference Internet weighting scale Video instruction, specially developed for all three tests Future: Accelerometers, blood pressure meters Available data Who can use the LISS data: every researcher who wants to use data for scientific, policy or societal relevant research Use of data is free of charge (unless data are used for research funded by means of external sources) 19 15-11-2010 Available data: longitudinal core study proposed studies Longitudinal core study Household and family Economic situation and housing Work and schooling Social integration and leisure Health Personality Religion and ethnicity Politics and values 20 15-11-2010 LISS data: archive and DDI Disseminated through website / data archive: http://www.lissdata.nl Database is based on DDI 3: one of the first implementations of version 3 (DDI = Data Documentation Initiative, International XML-based standard for data documentation) LISS data: complex and extensive 21 8-6-2010 October 2011: more than 440 registered users Extensive data Example: “Do you know which panel members are vegetarian?” Asked somewhere, but in which study? Example: “Did you ever measure political efficacy?” Asked sometime, but when exactly?
