  3. Measures of independent and dependent variables

  4. CASMIN educational categories

  5. ISCED International Standard Classification of Education

  6. Occupational Status (ISEI)* of male respondents by country** and different variables of education • * Adjusted R-squared • ** The National Educational Classification of Germany is not available for the • ESS, Edition 5

  7. Highest level of education, Italy

  8. Highest level of education, United Kingdom

  11. Steps to validate ESEC using measures of education • Although related, ESEC as measure of socio-economic position measures something different to educational performance -> discriminant validity • Strong positive association between measures of education and ESEC in all countries • Strength of associations between education and ESEC should differ by country

  12. Step 1: Discriminant validity Association among measures of educational performance must be stronger than association between educational performance and ESEC:

  13. Step 1: Discriminant validity (cont.) Potential issues at this step: appropriate measure of association • ESEC nominal, education nominal/ordinal • proposed: log-multiplicative models (RC II)

  14. Step 2: Strong and positive association between measures of education and ESEC All analyses concerning Step 2 are included in previous step

  15. Step 3: Strength of association between education and ESEC differ by country Differing strength of association between education and ESEC should resemble well-established findings in the literature: • Association high in Germany compared to other Western industrialised countries • Association relatively low in Great Britain • Sweden should take a position in between • Former communist countries should have very strong association Measure: uniform difference models

  16. Exemplifying validation steps using European Social Survey (1) Step 1+2: Calculating association among measures of educational performance and ESEC for each country: e.g. Netherlands: Numbers show association parameters from log-multiplicative row and column effect model (RC II) Problem in general: structural zeros, problem in current data: small N

  17. Exemplifying validation steps using European Social Survey (2) UNIDIFF parameters for the association between education (CASMIN) and class position (EGP)
