However, valid comparisons rely on assumptions about construct, measurement, and representation equivalence. Despite a long-standing recognition of these challenges in cross-cultural and longitudinal survey research, ongoing debates highlight the lack of an integrative quality concept that systematically addresses comparability. This special issue brings together contributions that focus on measurement-related threats to comparability arising from differing contexts, modes, and languages. Collectively, the articles advance the discussion of a nuanced quality framework that conceptualizes and evaluates comparability as a distinct class of errors affecting cross-group inference. By offering methodological insights and empirical applications, the special issue aims to strengthen the basis for more credible and transparent conclusions in survey-based comparative research.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-20204","issues","type-issues","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/surveyinsights.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/issues\/20204","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/surveyinsights.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/issues"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/surveyinsights.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/issues"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/surveyinsights.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=20204"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
