Project Overview:
Based on a national sample survey of adults in the United States, we examine a range of social, cultural, and political attitudes that may be shaped by the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes norms around masking, attitudes towards immigrants, lifestyle preferences, and a range of opinions that may reflect the risk of exposure to a potentially deadly virus.
The online panel is the cutting edge of sampling designs since most people will not answer their landline or mobile phone when they don't recognize the number. Surveys have become commonplace in our society, but response rates have gone down dramatically. These students will learn the common pitfalls and how to avoid them. They will also build valuable skills in data analysis and the communication of survey results.
