Abstract

Understanding political and social effects of violence in local populations through public opinion surveys has become increasingly common internationally. Yet while researchers are attuned to possible challenges induced during survey implementation, this work focuses almost uniformly on respondents. This paper considers survey enumerators as critical actors for data collection in violent research settings. We present survey results from 245 enumerators in Côte d’Ivoire to show that their personal feelings of insecurity and exposure to violence while conducting surveys may condition challenges faced and compromises made to gathering data. We shed light on how academic research in violent political settings poses unique security concerns for enumerators, with ramifications for data integrity.

列举者在暴力研究环境中的经验

通过民意调查了解暴力对当地人口的政治和社会影响在国际上越来越普遍。然而，尽管研究人员已经适应了调查实施过程中可能引发的挑战，但这项工作几乎一致地关注受访者。本文认为调查普查员是暴力研究环境中数据收集的关键参与者。我们提供了来自科特迪瓦245名人口普查员的调查结果，以表明他们在进行调查时的个人不安全感和暴力暴露可能会对收集数据所面临的挑战和妥协产生影响。我们揭示了暴力政治环境中的学术研究如何给人口普查员带来独特的安全问题，并对数据完整性产生影响。

期刊介绍： Comparative Political Studies is a journal of social and political science which publishes scholarly work on comparative politics at both the cross-national and intra-national levels. We are particularly interested in articles which have an innovative theoretical argument and are based on sound and original empirical research. We also encourage submissions about comparative methodology, particularly when methodological arguments are closely linked with substantive issues in the field.
