Summary:[...]upon completion of each survey, the resulting dataset is subjected to quality control measures that assess the representativeness of the sample, undertake weighting if necessary, and check and if necessary correct for interviewer falsification.\n Thus, although this illustrative example remains somewhat simplified, with hypotheses that are not entirely non-obvious and with only a limited number of control variables, it is nonetheless instructive that trust in government appears to depend heavily on the judgments citizens make about the broader economic and political environment within which they reside. [...]with only a few exceptions, it presents findings based on pooled analyses rather than individual countries and is limited to univariate or bivariate descriptions rather than multivariate analyses aimed at accounting for variance.
