Studies of qualitative methodology

 

GABISE SA has a detailed experience in all kinds of studies that require a qualitative approximation:

• Group meetings (group dynamics) are also a way of working with opinions, values and attitudes in social and economic studies.

• In-depth interviews (or to experts) are also qualitative instruments essential to study thoroughly in the social dynamics.

Election studies

 

Election surveys are instruments to get to know the opinions, attitudes and vote expectations during the different elections. They are used to describe the political situation at different moments of the term of office: During the governing period (relating the government’s action), to understand the political situation and its evolution; in pre-electoral or electoral stage, to obtain details about the tendencies; minutes after closing polling stations, to have data before the official recount.

The results of these surveys are used as the base for the definition of election strategies, which is one of the most important areas of specialisation of DURMES.
