Back translation vs. team translation approach - a questionnaire translation experiment

In a small-scale experiment, questionnaire translations (English into German), either produced via a simple back translation approach or via a team translation approach, were implemented in a split-ballot web survey. <br>
The questionnaire contained items from the International Social Suvey Program (ISSP) modules 2019 and 2020. <br>
The overarching goal was to assess the impact that different translations - produced by different methods - have on the resulting survey data. <br>
