Since 1980, representative cross-sectional samples of the German population have been surveyed at regular two-year intervals within the framework of the German General Social Survey (ALLBUS) survey program including investigation of social structure, attitudes and values. The high-quality prepared data are available in user-friendly versions.
As an interface between empirical social research and official statistics GML offers instruments for the data analysis like setups and tools and makes comprehensive metadata on German and EU official microdata available via MISSY.
GESIS intensively curates the following international survey programs, all of which cover a large number of countries and, for the most part, long periods of time for example the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP), the European Values Study (EVS), the Eurobarometer and the Comparative Study of Electoral Systems (CSES).
We give scientifically interested users access to German and international data from the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC). This international OECD programme for the study of everday skills of adults was conducted in 2011 and 2012. The survey was based on a representative sample of the population.
A large number of studies on German national and federal state elections are held in different user-friendly versions; they are made immediately after preparation and documentation like the German Longitudinal Election Study (GLES) or the data of thePolitbarometer.
In our data archive over 5,000 German and international studies, providing a broad range of topics for secondary analysis, are made available for secondary analysis. There you also find data from Historical Studies. At our Secure Data Center (SDC), you will be given on-site access to data that, for data protection reasons, require special security measures.
