Description:
Eurofound is preparing to transition the European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS) from a computer-assisted personal interview (CAPI) to self-administered online data collection. GESIS was contracted to adapt the CAPI master questionnaire, translate the adapted online questionnaire into German and Polish, and cognitively pretest the online questionnaire using cross-cultural cognitive interviews and web probing. The main goal of cognitive testing was assessing the comparability of the adapted online questionnaire to the original face-to-face questionnaire. Further objectives were testing whether the online questionnaire is suitable for cross-cultural research and applies gender-sensitive language.
