Hello everybody!
In my last two episodes, I talked about the reflective and formative measurements of latent constructs. Even though it seems to be easy tin understand which way you approach a latent construct, in real life, it is harder than one would think. I refer to two examples of the known questionnaires.
Below, you find the papers I am referring to during this episode.

Hello and "fröhliche Ostern"!
Today, I present the next episode on the reflective measurement of latent constructs. The reflective measurement is much more popular than the formative one, and there are some reasons for this. I talk about it at the end of the episode.

Welcome!
Today we talk about one of two ways to approach a latent construct, i.e. something that cannot be measured directly (e.g. with a ruler). In social sciences, most concepts of interest are latent constructs, e.g. satisfaction, motivation, organisational capabilities, etc.
In this episode, we talk about less common formative measurements. Actually, even top researchers confuse formative and reflective measures. So, take care - it does matter and the later statistical calculations are different!

Hello everyone,
actually, this episode is the most important on the whole channel :) Unfortunately, I had to oversimplify due to time constraints. It is one of the most important questions in your academic career: "Are you a positivist or a constructivist?" I had a real problem with answering this question. There were two simple reasons: I was really fascinated by my constructivist colleagues (so I wanted to be like them), and I was afraid of statistics. Luckily, I understood pretty early that I really believe in the existence of the objects of my investigation :)
I wish you to make the correct choice as early as possible. Actually, it is not about the choice, it is about understanding yourself.
Good luck and sorry for the oversimplification!

Welcome to the next episode of my podcast. We continue talking about quantitative surveys. Today, we talk about pros and contra of ranking and rating scales. Both types of scales have their advantages and disadvantages.
Feel free to comment and ask questions in order to help me with the topic selection for the next episodes!
Wish you all the best!

Hello everybody!
In this episode, I provide you with some Likert scales. Usually, you search for one online. Here, I made this work for you. If you think about running a survey relying on a quantitative questionnaire, this might be a good option for you ;)

Hello everybody
I make a lot of research using questionnaires. So do also most of my colleagues and students. Therefore, I decided to create a mini-series on questionnaires and related issues. Today, I talk about the most common (as to me) mistakes with regard to the size (range) of the Likert scale. Some prefer the even, some prefer the odd number of answer options. Some prefer a 5 and some prefer a 7 Likert scale. I share my opinion in this regard in the current episode.

Hello everyone,
Today, I respond to another group of comments of my listeners. I try to explain how many decision options you should/could have for each decision within your discrete choice experiment. Later I noticed that I confused the words "decision", "decision option", "selection", or "object". Here, I try to clarify the terminology:
1. Within a DCE you address a certain object (e.g. a car)
2. You ask participants to make a certain number of decisions (e.g. select among two cars).
3. In one such decision participants are offered several decision options (e.g. that car in red and the car in blue).
4. If the selection is made, the selected option is coded as 1, the neglected option is coded as zero.
5. You can have an option "None of the proposed options". If selected, this option is coded as one and all neglected options are coded as zeros.
6. Both selected and neglected options are included in the analysis as data cases, as a person may indicate a preference towards the selected option or disfavour against the neglected options.
Sorry for the mistakes when talking, now it should be clarified!

Hello everyone
Today, I respond to some of the comments by my listeners. I have been asked several times about what kind of research models one can approach using a DCE. Moreover, my students ask me about dependent and independent variables. In this episode, I explain what are the dependent and independent variables in a DCE as well as the moderating variables. Please note, that if you want to test interaction(s) (or moderation) with your DCE, your sample size should be larger.

Good morning!
Today, I respond to some of the requests from my students, colleagues, and podcast listeners. After a series of podcasts and YoutTube videos dedicated to the Discrete Choice Experiment, I decided to add some new episodes addressing these requests one by one. Today, I explain how to derive your attributes from your theory.
Good luck!
