I get a change event within the select and now I need the id of the corresponding <select>. I was successfull with filter.get(0).id, but I believe there is a more jQuery way to do this.

$('.answer_filter').change(function() {
  var filter = jQuery(this);
  var select = jQuery('#' + filter.get(0).id); // @TODO find a more appropriate solution
  ...
});

The filter variable is the same element as the this keyword. By getting the first match with get(0) that's still referring to the same element. So, the select variable can be assigned to the this keyword, which achieves the same result. 

$('.answer_filter').change(function () {
  var select = $(this);
  ...
});
