The Impact

Linkage analysis is a sophisticated media effect research design that reconstructs the likely exposure to relevant media messages of individual survey respondents by complementing the survey data with a content analysis. It is an important improvement over survey-only designs: Instead of predicting some outcome of interest by media use and implicitly assuming what kind of media messages the respondents were exposed to, linkage analysis explicitly takes the media messages into account (de Vreese & Neijens, 2016; Scharkow & Bachl, 2017; Schuck, Vliegenthart, & de Vreese, 2016; Shoemaker & Reese, 1990; Slater, 2016; Valkenburg & Peter, 2013). The design in its modern form has been pioneered by Miller, Goldenberg, and Erbring (1979) and is today considered a “state-of-the art analysis of the impact of specific news consumption” (Fazekas & Larsen, 2015, p. 196). Its widespread use, especially in the field of political communication, and its still increasing popularity demonstrate the relevance of the design. The main advantage of a linkage analysis is the use of one or more message exposure variables which combine information about media use and media content. However, both constitutive sources are often measured with error: Survey respondents are not very good at reporting their media use reliably, and coders will often make some errors when classifying the relevant messages.In this article, we will first give a short overview on the prevalence and consequences of measurement error in both data sources. The arguments are based on a literature review and a simulation study which are published elsewhere in full detail (Scharkow & Bachl, 2017). We continue with a discussion of possible remedies in measurement and data analysis. Beyond the obvious need to improve the measures themselves, we highlight the importance of serious diagnostics of measurement quality. Such information can then be incorporated in the data analysis using estimation or imputation approaches, which are introduced in the main section of this chapter. We conclude by noting that 1) the improvement of measurements and the diagnosis of measurement error in both parts of a linkage analysis must be taken seriously; 2) many tools for correcting measurement error in single parts of a linkage analysis already exist and should be used; 3) methodological research is needed for the development of an integrated analysis workflow which accounts for measurement error and uncertainty in both data sources.

The Impact

Many commonly used data sources in the social sciences suffer from non-random measurement error, understood as mis-measurement of a variable that is systematically related to another variable. We argue that studies relying on potentially suspect data should take the threat this poses to inference seriously and address it routinely in a principled manner. In this article, we aid researchers in this task by introducing a sensitivity analysis approach to non-random measurement error. The method can be used for any type of data or statistical model, is simple to execute, and straightforward to communicate. This makes it possible for researchers to routinely report the robustness of their inference to the presence of non-random measurement error. We demonstrate the sensitivity analysis approach by applying it to two recent studies.

Abstract In this paper, the authors aim to measure the influence of the macroeconomic indicators that characterize a national economy on some key national health indicators. The purpose is to obtain an updated evaluation of the population medical status, under the impact of either growth or economic decline. The analysis focuses especially on Romania but also on other countries, to be able to investigate comparatively national indicators and trends. Multiple data sources have been used for an in-depth analysis, to fit in an appropriate manner the purpose of the study. Static and econometric data analysis software was applied on primary data, as analysis instruments. The correlation coefficient and the regression were the tools used to obtain the study conclusions. We start from the premise that the potential of statistic data sources, combined with the processing power of the data analysis tools would be able to lead to the best result. We have also reviewed the previous studies performed on the same topic and, along with our data, the obtained conclusions should have a certain value and interest not only for current needs and utilization, but also for future researches. The authors are aware of the direct influence between the macroeconomic status (or performance) indicators and the indicators that characterize the health of the population, and will attempt to measure the intensity of this impact on several key selected domains.
