  • Adjustment and panel weights have been calculated and added.
  • A speeder index and a flag variable per survey wave were included to identify respondents with unusually short interview duration.

  • Various editorial revisions to value and variable labels were made.

Access to the dataset and the study documentation is available via the GESIS search.
