Standardizace proměnných v sociálněvědním výzkumu

Chapter introduces the problem of data comparability with a special focus on international surveys. The issue of standardization is regarded primarily as a standardization of variables in resulting data files. The authors discuss the principles and techniques of variable standardization and present several examples of how some of the most commonly used variables in the social sciences, i.e. demographic and socioeconomic indicators, are standardised.
