Event description: 

The Political Science Department’s Methods Skills Enrichment project is hosting a workshop on survey experiments on the afternoon of April 13th. The workshop will be led by Adam Berinsky, professor of political science at MIT, an expert on the design and implementation of survey experiments. Topics covered in the workshop include best practices in designing survey experiments, implementing attention checks, and using different sample pools. This is a great learning opportunity for those who conduct surveys as part of their research.

We welcome Yale students, faculty, and researchers from all social science disciplines.  Seating is limited so we ask that you register in advance to reserve lunch and guarantee your attendance.

The Yale Political Science Methods Skills Enrichment Initiative seeks to connect students, faculty, and other researchers with resources to improve their methodological and technological skills. We maintain a wiki in which users can learn new skills for quantitative research and share their knowledge with others. In addition, we plan practicum workshops led by Yale and non-Yale affiliates so researchers can apply new methodology to their own works. Visit our wiki site at: : http://poliscimse.wikispaces.com/.
