Vita

Dörte Naber holds a master’s degree in Intercultural Psychology from the University of Osnabrück (Germany) and is a PhD student at the University of Granada in Psychology. Between 2018 and 2020 she worked at the departments of Behavioural Science Methodology and Experimental Psychology at the University of Granada in Spain. Since February 2021, she works at GESIS for the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) at the department of Data and Research on Society (DRS). Together with her colleague Dr. Evi Scholz, she is responsible for the project management of the ISSP, that is, for the development, translation and quantitative and qualitative pretesting of the international and especially of the German ISSP questionnaires, as well as sampling, data collection and data management of the German ISSP data.
In her research, Dörte Naber is especially interested in the methodology of Cognitive Pretesting methods with focus on its online application Web Probing. Collaborating with Prof. Dr. Jose-Luis Padilla (University of Granada), in her thesis she works on data quality in narrative open-ended questions online in self-completion (particularly Web Probing) using Satisficing Theory (Krosnick, 1991) as framework. In detail, her research is focused on 1) the development and improvement of data quality indicators for open-ended questions, 2) question design of open-ended questions and its impact on data quality and 3) the relationship of respondent’s characteristics (especially their cognitive abilities and motivation) and data quality in open-ended questions.
