A Repeated Measures Dataset on Public Responses to the COVID-19 Pandemic: Social Norms, Attitudes, Behaviors, Conspiracy Thinking, and (Mis)Information

Life Trajectories Through the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Repeated Measures Diary Survey Dataset From 2020-2021

“…The dataset described in this paper involves data from two related surveys, namely a repeated measures survey (hereinafter referred to as main survey) with three stages and a larger sample (October-December 2020, March 2021, and August-September 2021) as well as a diary survey with 18 stages. For the main survey, a representative probability-based sample was acquired through a postal recruitment system (for a full description, see Jensen et al, 2021 ). At the end of the first iteration of the main survey, respondents were able to opt in for additional studies, inter alia, the diary survey.…”

“…This diary dataset can additionally be merged with the main survey dataset (see Jensen et al, 2021 ) to enable analyses that involve variables which were only employed in at least one iteration of the main survey. Merging can be done based on respondents' matching unique IDs (variable name: “M_ID”).…”

“…Variables from the main survey that were identical to the diary survey were included to provide additional data points for secondary analysis. For more complex analyses and increased flexibility, we encourage users to merge the main survey dataset (Jensen et al, 2021 ) with the diary dataset described in this paper. We intend for research making use of this evidence base to deliver insights that can inform current and future disaster and emergency management communication practice and policies.…”
