On Cultural Studies, Science, and Technology
In an introduction to this edited volume (see related abstracts in IRPS No. 87), the field of cultural studies & its relation to science & technology are discussed. It is suggested that the traditional belief in the primacy of cause/effect relationships fails to recognize the complexity & interdependence of variables in the modern world. Culture, science, & technology are not distinct entities, but overlapping fields, which transform & are transformed by each other. Although science & technology have permeated modern society, they do not independently determine the outcomes of social situations & evolution. It is argued that traditional deterministic social sciences must be replaced by a theory of complexity that erodes the boundaries between distinct forms of knowledge & perspectives, & seeks to consider cause in terms of multiple & merging influences. Further, region-oriented communities are becoming less important as technology allows easy communication with distant others, & thereby facilitates the bypass of local ties. It is concluded that the field of cultural studies is best equipped to deal with the rapidly changing circumstances of the modern world due to its appropriation of knowledge from diverse perspectives, & its lack of fundamental & fixed principles.

Die Autorin untersucht die Bedeutung von Kultur, Sprache und sozioökonomischen Faktoren im Frage-Antwort-Prozess bei allgemeinen Gesundheitssurveys. Sie stellt hierzu zwei Forschungsprojekte mit kognitiven Interviews vor, die zum einen in der ländlichen Region des Mississippi im Januar 2002 und zum anderen in Hyattsville und Northwest Ohio im Sommer 2003 durchgeführt worden sind. Sie verdeutlicht anhand von Beispielen, dass psychologische Modelle des Frage-Antwort-Prozesses nicht vollständig umfassend sind, dass der soziale Kontext den Prozess beeinflusst, in welchem der Teilnehmer auf eine bestimmte Frage antwortet und dass dies Auswirkungen auf die Qualität und die Nutzbarkeit der Erhebungsdaten hat. Die Autorin möchte mit ihren Ausführungen insbesondere eine größere Aufmerksamkeit auf den Zusammenhang zwischen Antwortfehler und der sozialen Lage des Befragten lenken. (ICI)
