论文摘要
在社会科学研究中考虑性和性别是一个挑战。虽然其他方法论论文考虑了围绕适当测量的问题，但我们考虑了在最近推动将性别或性别作为非二进制构造的促进性别或性别的推动下，对调查的无响应和从样本到人群的概括的调整问题。这不仅在性别和性别衡量之间有所不同，而且在性别衡量之间有所不同，而且这两个属性都是多维的。在考虑我们可用的期权的道德和统计含义之前，我们反思与衡量种族/种族的相似之处。我们提出了一项模拟研究，以了解各种情况下的统计含义，并证明了与纽约市贫困跟踪器的决策过程的应用。总体而言，我们不是对所有调查的最佳建议，而是对问题的复杂性以及不同方法的益处和弱点的意识。
Accounting for sex and gender is a challenge in social science research. While other methodology papers consider issues surrounding appropriate measurement, we consider the problem of adjustment for survey nonresponse and generalization from samples to populations in the context of the recent push toward measuring sex or gender as a non-binary construct. This is challenging not only in that response categories differ between sex and gender measurement, but also in that both these attributes are potentially multidimensional. We reflect on similarities to measuring race/ethnicity before considering the ethical and statistical implications of the options available to us. We present a simulation study to understand the statistical implications under a variety of scenarios, and demonstrate the application of the decision process with the New York City Poverty Tracker. Overall, we conclude not with a single best recommendation for all surveys but rather with an awareness of the complexity of the problem and the benefits and weaknesses of different approaches.
