Conference on Cross-National Research in Social Sciences

Ann Arbor, Michigan

October 2-8, 1977

A multidisciplinary conference on Cross-National Research in the Social Sciences was held October 2-8, 1977, at the Institute for Social Research, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. It was supported by grants from the National Science Foundation and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. Some thirty-five scholars presently engaged in collaborative cross-national research participated in plenary sessions and in four designated work groups which were focused upon: modes of resolving conceptual problems in the comparative analyses of data produced by ongoing as well as past comparative studies; development of cross-national indicators and standardization of measurement procedures; problems deriving from different types of scientific sponsorship and different research infrastructures providing support; and the value of cross-national datasets and supporting materials for secondary analysis and professional training.
