GESIS Panel.pop Longitudinal Core Studies
Within each data collection wave, about five to seven minutes of interviewing time are reserved for thematic modules of the GESIS Panel.pop Longitudinal Core Studies.
One aim of the GESIS Panel.pop Longitudinal Core Studies is to measure longitudinally frequently demanded characteristics of enduring interest to the social sciences. In 2020, the GESIS Panel.pop revised the core studies and the layout of the surveys. Below you will find the old and the new versions of the questionnaires as PDFs.
