Измерение политического знания: разработка и апробация шкалы в России
Социология: методология, методы, математическое моделирование. 2021. № 52. С. 61–94.
To our knowledge, this is the first paper which develops and validates the scale of political knowledge in Russia. The scale was validated in a telephone survey using random sampling (N = 3002). The scale includes 10 questions on the knowledge of political institutes, main political actors, substantial events, international politics, and history of the state. The scale showed sufficiently high internal consistency. Cronbach's alpha was equal to 0.74. In addition, the validity of the instrument was tested based on socio-demographic variables, interest in politics, news discussion, media consumption, and political behavior. Finally, the IRT (Item-Response Theory) results showed quite a high quality of the scale. Overall, we conclude that this scale can be used to measure political knowledge in Russia.

Как понять, хорош адвокат или нет? В данной статье мы описываем методологию, позволяющую измерять качество юридической помощи через разницу между тем, что предсказывает модель машинного обучения по объективным характеристикам дела, и тем, чем дело закончилось в реальности. Мы исходим из предпосылки, что если у адвоката дела стабильно заканчиваются лучше ожидаемого, то он делает свою работу хорошо. ...
