Factorial surveys

This study contributes to educational inequality research by using factorial survey experiments to assess the stratification of evaluative principles of educational quality or what is termed “judgments of the game.”

In this article, I documented a folk theory of happiness beliefs for the Chilean case. Using factorial surveys, I estimated (a) causal beliefs of happiness, (b) the contingency of the belief about income upon other domains, and (c) the heterogeneity of these beliefs when considering respondents’ experience on these dimensions.
