One cannot guarantee that, but that’s because people may be lying about it (in order to keep themselves safe possibly or to lie about the abuse they do) or they just don’t remember it at the time. However, we still get many responses on it, so at least we’re seeing many of the victims/perpetrators. There are also “agreement rates” essentially, when 2 comparative groups (ex. men and women) agree on a certain thing to a certain degree (the closer they are in answers, the higher the agreement rate, and the farther they are in answers, the lower the agreement rate).
100% participation? Generally, most respondents reply to all the questions. In some studies, they will actually all answer all questions, but in many you’ve got a couple who do not answer all the questions. The researchers will generally note this.
Dammit, Dave. What’s wrong with you? Ya know, between you and Old Man, y’all ask way too many nosy questions. It’s a STUDY, you two twisted skeptics! And if you try to place too many rules and parameters on such things, you are gonna totally ruin the integrity of them. Sheesh! Can’t take you two ANYWHERE!
How about you actually read what I say instead of just doing stuff like this? I’m writing it out for a reason.
That’s why we have specific ways to go about trying to combat this. 1. Do not list it as a “crime survey,” but rather as a “family survey.” 2. Design the questions a specific way so that the maximum amount can be answered without extending into those who are not actual DV victims (this one is really complicated and usually takes at least several people to do so, including pilot studies to see how it works). 3. Do in-depth interviews from participants who have already done it to dig deeper. 4. Etc.
And I have stated that studies are just a collection of experiences.
It’s just merely that you cannot apply it to the rest of the world. That’s my problem.
Also, I understand that studies cannot be applied to the entire world, but they can be applied to much more of the world than single experiences can, and that’s also why I like to collect as many studies as I can (annotated bibliographies and meta analyses do this as well, but puts it all together in a study).
Ok.
I meant the researchers, considering that I’ve actually been aiming to create a DV study myself (it’s taking a while, and I have to consult other people too), so yeah.
And the purpose of all of that would be what, exactly? Do you honestly believe these “studies” will somehow make DV just magically disappear? Again, naive much? Plus, you cannot lump DV from different countries/cultures all into one neat little package. Aside from all of that, though, what the hell is this obsession you have with Domestic Violence in the first place?
No. It’s to locate the problem of DV and paint a picture of it.
I know. That’s why there’s a little thing called “location.” For example, the NISVS focuses exclusively on the US, while Straus’s 32 nation study looks at 32 countries and provides the data for each separate country.
Well, actually, it’s Men’s Rights in general (I’ll provide a list of issues that that covers below, though I’ll try to make it small compared to all the issues out there so as not to overload my comment), but we were talking about DV here, so that’s why I’m currently focused on that one in this discussion.
DV
Murder
Men/boys being almost exclusively targeted by genocides
Male education is falling behind or worse than female education in many countries around the world (but not all, since in some countries female education is worse or falling behind)
Rape and sexual violence
Teacher bias against boys (and men)
The fatherlessness pandemic and how many want to be with their kids but are not allowed to (though, of course, this doesn’t happen in every case)
The “Justice” system bias against men and the educational punishment bias against boys (where men and boys get punished for doing the same behavior/crime as women and girls)
How gay/bi/men who have sex with men are not allowed to donate blood in the US unless they have been celibate for AT LEAST one year (previously, it was not allowed at all), while everyone else can
How women are preferred 2:1 over EQUALLY or SLIGHTLY MORE qualified men in STEM hirings
