GESIS Panel

Welcome to the GESIS Panel

The GESIS Panel is a unique and innovative social science data infrastructure serving both primary and secondary researchers. Researchers interested in primary research can collect their own data. Rich and unique GESIS Panel data is available for secondary research. 

Depending on your research question, you can choose between the following samples:

1. The GESIS Panel.pop Population Sample (the previous "GESIS Panel") is a mixed-mode panel based on a random survey sample of the adult German-speaking population of Germany and thus allows drawing conclusions about the general population. Respondents can answer by web or by paper questionnaire.  

2. The new GESIS Panel.dbd Digital Behavioral Data Sample combines an online survey with collecting (and linking) digital behavioral data such as web tracking data.
