“…Although no dataset can be fully equivalent across cultural contexts (e.g., Boehnke et al, 2014;Fischer & Smith, 2021;Witte et al, 2020), the Gallup World Poll takes steps to ensure as much equivalence as reasonably possible, including measures to address equivalence, validity, and response bias (Tortora et al, 2010). Equivalence issues arise when research protocols differ based on language, data collection methods, or meaning of hypotheses (e.g.…”

“…Such problems are inevitable, but GWP data helps minimize these methodological issues in multiple ways. (1) First, data is collected with standardized procedures across different languages and nations where the questions are translated and back-translated (Tortora et al, 2010). In line with modern approaches to linguistic equivalence (Boehnke et al, 2014), this is not always a straight word-for-word translation, but rather takes the cultural context into account.…”

“…(2) Further, GWP attempts to collect as respresentative of a sample as possible using standard methods for random selection of people within a country (Tortora et al, 2010). As Tortora and colleagues (2010, p. 539) said, "the GWP's driving design principle is to conduct nationally representative surveys in each country. "…”

Previous work from a socio-ecological perspective reveals that ecological stress has important effects on political, cultural, and psychological outcomes. However, that work has been limited by (1) a focus on distal forms of ecological stress that are hard for societies to control, and (2) a lack of large-scale conceptual replications. The present study aims to fill in these gaps by simultaneously testing the effects of both more distal ecological stress (e.g., climate) and more proximal ecological stress (e.g., water quality) on political restriction, political freedom, well-being, and societal confidence measurements. In a sample from the Gallup World Poll spanning over one and a half million participants and 159 nations, we found that while both kinds of ecological stress measurements predicted greater vertical political restriction, reduced horizontal political restriction, reduced well-being, and reduced freedom, only proximal forms of ecological stress predicted a loss in societal confidence. These results not only provide key conceptual replications of prior studies on new data, they also add previously unstudied outcomes and new ecological stressors. As a result, they help us better understand contributing factors to key societal issues such as freedom, well-being, and societal confidence.

“…Both penetration and type of access vary widely. For example, although Africa has an average penetration rate of 69%, sub-Saharan Africa’s sovereign states range from 40% to 96% in households that have at least one mobile phone and represent the second largest mobile technology market after Asia [ 75 ]. In South Africa and Nigeria, mobile phone ownership by adults is almost equivalent to ownership in the United States, but smartphone ownership in sub-Saharan Africa lags behind from a high of 34% in South Africa to a low of 8% in Tanzania and 5% in Uganda [ 76 ].…”

Taking mHealth Forward: Examining the Core Characteristics

The emergence of mobile health (mHealth) offers unique and varied opportunities to address some of the most difficult problems of health. Some of the most promising and active efforts of mHealth involve the engagement of mobile phone technology. As this technology has spread and as this technology is still evolving, we begin a conversation about the core characteristics of mHealth relevant to any mobile phone platform. We assert that the relevance of these characteristics to mHealth will endure as the technology advances, so an understanding of these characteristics is essential to the design, implementation, and adoption of mHealth-based solutions. The core characteristics we discuss are (1) the penetration or adoption into populations, (2) the availability and form of apps, (3) the availability and form of wireless broadband access to the Internet, and (4) the tethering of the device to individuals. These collectively act to both enable and constrain the provision of population health in general, as well as personalized and precision individual health in particular.

“…Small countries are de facto excluded because they (a) typically lack a survey-research infrastructure and (b) are not considered important enough to be sought out in cross-national studies (Tortora et al, 2010). For example, none of the micro-states of Europe (Andorra, Liechtenstein, Monaco, San Marino, or Vatican City) are included in European-wide surveys like the European Social Survey (ESS) or Eurobarometers.…”
