| Σύνοψη: | This paper describes the Notre Dame Study of Catholic Parish Life (CPL) and its constituent surveys of parishes, pastors, parishioners, volunteer leaders, and staff. We discuss various rationales for the contextual design used in the study and the multi-method techniques of data collection the CPL employed. Sample characteristics are described and procedures for detecting nonresponse biases are presented. The study illustrates some problems associated with contextual designs in surveys of members of denominations, but emphasizes the strength of such designs for understanding the relationship between the individual and the religious community of which she is a part. |
