The Afrobarometer project was designed to collect and disseminate information regarding Africans' views on democracy, governance, economic reform, civil society, and quality of life. This particular survey was concerned with the attitudes and opinions of the citizens of Togo. Respondents in a face-to-face interview were asked to rate their president and the president's administration in overall performance, to state the most important issues facing their nation, and to evaluate the effectiveness of certain continental and international institutions. Opinions were gathered on the role of the government in improving the economy, whether corruption existed in government, and whether government officials were responsive to problems of the general population. Respondents were also asked whether local government officials, the police, the army, the courts, the overall criminal justice system, the National Electoral Commission, the Tax Department, and political parties could be trusted. Additionally, respondents were polled on their level of freedom, taxes, what kind of society they most wanted to see, equal rights regarding gender, their role in the community, and political action and activities. Economic questions addressed the past, present, and future of the country's and the respondents' economic conditions, and respondents' living conditions. In addition, opinions were sought on a range of additional issues specific to Togo. These issues included political reform, the justice system, political life, and cost of education.

The 2008 Center for American Women and Politics (CAWP) Recruitment Studies are studies of United States state legislators' and mayors' pathways to office that were conducted by the Center for American Women and Politics (CAWP) at the Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers University. Data about state legislators and mayors of big cities were gathered through survey instruments that consisted primarily of questions concerning the decision to seek office, previous political experience, and personal background. The studies, which were conducted by mail, web, and phone, were designed to replicate a 1981 CAWP study about gender and pathways to elective office. All women serving in the legislatures of the 50 states were surveyed, along with a random sample of men state legislators; men were randomly selected and sampled in proportion to the number of women serving in each chamber and state. All women mayors of cities with a population of 30,000 and above serving in 2008 were surveyed, along with a random sample of men mayors. Demographic variables include age, education, race, and marital status.

Development of Externalizing Behaviors in Chicago Youth Exposed to Intimate Partner Violence, Illinois, 1994-2002 (ICPSR 36809)
Weir, Henriikka; Kaukinen, Catherine E.
Weir, Henriikka; Kaukinen, Catherine E.
Using data from all three waves of the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN), this secondary data analysis examined the long-term effects of intimate partner violence (IPV) exposure during childhood and adolescence on subsequent externalizing behaviors (i.e., delinquency, violence, and substance use related offending).
The research questions for this study were as follows:
Are there significant differences in the mean scores of different externalizing behaviors (measured as "offending" in the present study) in any of the three PHDCN waves between youth exposed to IPV and youth not exposed to IPV?
Are there distinct developmental trajectories of externalizing behaviors among youth exposed to IPV when compared to those not exposed to IPV?
How do different individual- and neighborhood-level variables act in predicting the developmental paths of externalizing behaviors among youth exposed to IPV?
Propensity score matching (PSM) was employed to match individuals reporting IPV exposure with those not exposed to IPV on key variables. Longitudinal latent class analyses (LLCA) were utilized to estimate the longitudinal developmental trajectories of externalizing behaviors independently for IPV and non-IPV exposed males and females and compared to each other. Multinomial logistic regression models were estimated separately for males and females exposed to IPV during their childhoods to examine the effect of different hypothesized class membership predictors.
This collection contains a master dataset primarily sourced from Emery's (2006) data augmentation along with key variables from all three waves from the PHDCN Longitudinal Cohort Study, cohorts 12 and 15 (DS1); datasets constructed solely for multinomial logistic regressions for youth exposed to IPV, separated by sex (DS2 and DS3); data for the final LLCA models separated by sex and exposure to IPV (DS4 to DS7); and probabilities and latent classes created using Mplus (DS8 to DS9) that can be merged to the multinomial regression data using the SUBID variable. Additionally, syntax for variable and model constructions, as well as Mplus output, have been included as a zip package. Please refer to the P.I. documentation for more information.

United States. Bureau of the Census
United States. Bureau of the Census
The Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Tabulation is designed to measure the effects of anti-discrimination laws and regulations in the workplace. For more than five decades, the EEO Tabulations have served as the primary external benchmark for comparing the race, ethnicity, and sex composition of an organization's internal workforce and the analogous external labor market within a specified geography and job category. These are also used by organizations to develop and update their affirmative action plans.
The 2014-2018 EEO Tabulation tables are based on the 2014-2018 5-year American Community Survey (ACS) dataset and can be used to examine changes in the gender, racial, and ethnic diversity of arts-related occupations. Arts-related occupations in the 2014-2018 EEO tables include:
Architects, surveyors, and cartographers
Art and design workers
Other entertainers and performers, sports, and related workers
Writers and authors
Photographers

This collection, A Longitudinal Study of Public Response, was conducted to understand the trajectory of risk perception amidst an ongoing economic crisis. A nation-wide panel responded to eight surveys beginning in late September 2008 at the peak of the crisis and concluded in August 2011. At least 600 respondents participated in each survey, with 325 completing all eight surveys. The online survey focused on perceptions of risk (savings, investments, retirement, job), negative emotions toward the financial crisis (sadness, anxiety, fear, anger, worry, stress), confidence in national leaders to manage the crisis (President Obama, Congress, Treasury Secretary, business leaders), and belief in one's ability to realize personal objectives despite the crisis. Latent growth curve modeling was conducted to analyze change in risk perception throughout the crisis. Demographic information includes ethnic origin, sex, age, marital status, income, political affiliation and education.

The Gender and Multicultural Leadership Project (GMCL) is a national study of America's political leadership in the 21st century, with a focus on race, ethnicity, and gender. The project specifically addresses African American, Latina/o, Native American, and Asian American elected officials in U.S. politics. The 2000 U.S. Census points to a need to understand the role of gender and race/ethnicity in today's elected leaders and how this increasingly diversified leadership is becoming incorporated into the governing structures of a nation projected to be "majority-minority" within the next fifty years.
Key components of the GMCL Project include a national database of more than 10,000 elected officials of color, by race and gender; an annotated bibliography and analytical framework on the intersection of gender, race/ethnicity, class; and an interactive project website.

The General Social Surveys (GSS) were designed as part of a data diffusion project in 1972. The GSS replicated questionnaire items and wording in order to facilitate time-trend studies. The latest survey, GSS 2010, includes a cumulative file that merges all 28 General Social Surveys into a single file containing data from 1972 to 2010. The items appearing in the surveys are one of three types: Permanent questions that occur on each survey, rotating questions that appear on two out of every three surveys (1973, 1974, and 1976, or 1973, 1975, and 1976), and a few occasional questions such as split ballot experiments that occur in a single survey. The 2010 surveys included four topic modules: quality of working life, science, shared capitalism, and CDC high risk behaviors. The International Social Survey Program (ISSP) module included in the 2010 survey was environment. The data also contain several variables describing the demographic characteristics of the respondents.
