The goal is to create several theme-related sessions on topics associated with cross-cultural research -- with either
substantive or methodological emphasis.
AAPOR has encouraged submission of papers focused on research in the context of North America as well as research on
other cross-cultural and cross-national contexts.
Suggested topics of either substantive or methodological orientation
•Measuring tolerance, discrimination and prejudice
•Race, ethnicity, discrimination
•Religion and culture Culture and diversity Identity: e.g., national, ethnic, and cultural (such as American values)
•Prejudice and social distance Tolerance and social indifference
•Immigration and acculturation Accessing and engaging hard-to-reach and hard-to-survey populations
•Inequality and minorities: (health, education, employment, housing, social benefits, poverty/wealth)
•Consumer research in cross-cultural/cross-national contexts
•Voting behavior, party preference, and culture
