Based on a quantitative meta-analysis of empirical studies, this article points out a significant flaw in the Three Worlds of Welfare literature, the “variable selection problem.” Compiling, classifying, and quantitatively analysing all variables that have been employed in this literature, the article shows first that variable selection has depended more on case selection than on theory.

Conditions for Facilitation by Voluntary Organizations to Enhance Social Cohesion in ChinaSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 148 - Trang 173-187 - 2019
Chau-kiu Cheung, T. Wing Lo, Suk-ching Liu
Clarifying conditions for advancing volunteers’ cohesion toward society (i.e., social cohesion), which means attachment to and benefiting society, is relevant to the mission of voluntary organizations.

The Interaction of Values and Validity Assessment: Does a Test's Level of Validity Depend on a Researcher's Values?Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 45 - Trang 45-54 - 1998
Mark D. Reckase
This paper presents a somewhat different framework for considering the validity problem than that proposed by Messick (1989). Validity evaluation is considered as a problem of comparing continua in a multidimensional space corresponding to constructs, tests, and applications. This framework is used to consider the position taken by Markus (1998) and to argue that a test's validity is independent o...... hiện toàn bộ

People with different labour market statuses generally enjoy different levels of income, and a transition to retirement migh...... hiện toàn bộ
Panel Conditioning and Subjective Well-beingSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 117 - Trang 235-255 - 2013
Mark Wooden, Ning Li
The importance of panel, or longitudinal, survey data for analyzing subjective wellbeing, and especially its dynamics, is increasingly recognized. Analyses of such data, however, have to deal with two potential problems: (1) non-random attrition; and (2) panel conditioning. The former is a much researched topic. In contrast, panel conditioning has received much less attention from the research com...... hiện toàn bộ
