Pisa, Italy, 2023 Ben Roberts, undergraduate Political Science major, has received a CLAS (College of Liberal Arts and Sciences) Scholars Award for AY 2024-2025.
Congratulations! The proposed research relates to survey construction (e.g., word choice and question design strategies) for measuring religiosity in the case of Judaism in Israel. Limiting the research to a few survey instruments, the research will compare survey choices for measuring religiosity in Israel, the U.S., and Europe. Mr. Roberts is an undergraduate senior thesis hopeful; it is intended that the research will provide the basis for his senior thesis.
