Datasets
Learn about cross-tabulation in SPSS with data from the American National Election Study (2012)
This dataset is designed for teaching cross-tabulation. The dataset is a subset of data derived from the 2012 American National Election Study (ANES), and the example presents a cross-tabulation between party identification and views on same-sex marriage. The dataset file is accompanied by a teaching guide, a student guide, and a how-to guide for SPSS.
This dataset is designed for teaching frequency distribution. The dataset is a subset of data derived from the 2006 China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) 2006 survey of adults, and the example presents frequency distributions of the provinces in China in which respondents lived and whether or not they report having ever smoked cigarettes. The dataset file is accompanied by a teaching guide, a student guide, and a how-to guide for SPSS.
This dataset is designed for teaching Pearson's correlation coefficient. The dataset is a subset of data derived from the 2010 UK Living Cost and Food Survey (LCFS), and the example examines whether household income and expenditure are associated. The dataset file is accompanied by a teaching guide, a student guide, and a how-to guide for SPSS.
Learn to use one-way ANOVA in SPSS with data from the News Coverage Index (2012)
This dataset is designed for teaching the one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The dataset is a subset of data derived from the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism News Coverage Index for 2012, and the example shows how to test whether the length of TV news stories differs based on the geographic focus of those stories. The dataset file is accompanied by a teaching guide, a student guide, and a how-to guide for SPSS.
Analysing focus group data: higher education lecturers and their thoughts on seminars
This dataset is designed for teaching the analysis of focus group transcripts. This data exemplar is comprised of a transcript of the recordings made by Dr Jamie Harding from Northumbria University during a focus group, and the example demonstrates one way in which you might approach the analysis of data generated by a single focus group. The dataset file is accompanied by a teaching guide and a student guide.
Feminist narrative analytics: letters, archives, and gendered labour politics
This dataset is designed for teaching feminist narrative analysis. This data is provided by Professor Maria Tamboukou from the University of East London, and is taken from research she conducted in the New York Public Library with letters of women trade unionists in the New York garment industry in the first half of the twentieth century. The example encourages thinking about how to follow narrative tropes and feminist analytics in collecting, reassembling and analysing letters from the archive. The dataset file is accompanied by a teaching guide and a student guide.
This dataset focuses on some of the key points for consideration when conducting thematic analysis on semi-structured interview data. The data exemplar is provided by Dr Ceryn Evans, from the Wales Institute of Social and Economic Research, Data and Methods (WISERD), Cardiff University, who was funded by the United Kingdom Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) to explore civic participation amongst adults in Wales. The exemplar will be particularly useful to those considering using thematic analysis as an analytic method on semi-structured interview data. The dataset file is accompanied by a teaching guide and a student guide.
Interviewing elites: employing a feminist and interpretative approach to grounded theory techniques
This dataset focuses on the use of interpretative approaches to grounded theory in the analysis of elite interviews. This data is provided by Dr Patrizia Kokot, from the University of Reading, and is drawn from interviews conducted with elite women occupying positions of power. The example considers how researchers approach elite interviews, and the ways in which grounded theory may be appropriately adapted to address the research needs of the project. The dataset file is accompanied by a teaching guide and a student guide.
