Biological Variables in Social Surveys

No 138, RatSWD Working Papers from German Data Forum (RatSWD)

Abstract: Social scientists have long virtually ignored the biological constraints of human behavior. Yet if the prediction of behavior is considered essential to a social science, neglecting any variable that might influence human behavior is unacceptable. This paper provides examples of important biological variables and describes their measurement in social surveys.
