By definition, an Advance Release is a preliminary version of a dataset, and thus lacks some of the checking, cleaning, processing, documentation, data, and variables that are usual to the Full Release of a dataset. Many election studies that will eventually be present in the CSES Module 5 Full Release are not available in this file. Advance Releases are provided as a service to the CSES user community, for those analysts who find it valuable to work with preliminary versions of the dataset. We would appreciate being notified of any errors in the dataset or documentation by email to "[email protected]". Users should expect future changes and improvements to the naming, data, and documentation of variables and election studies that appear in an Advance Release file. If users wish to re-use their programming code on a future release of the file, the code should be written in a way that is flexible and can be accommodating of these future changes. Users of the Advance Release may also wish to monitor the errata for CSES Module 5 on the CSES website, to check for known errors which may impact their analyses. To view errata for CSES Module 5, go to Data Download on the CSES website, navigate to the CSES Module 5 download page, and click on the Errata link in the white box to the right of the page. We hope that until such time as the Full Release of CSES Module 5 is available, users will find this and future CSES Module 5 Advance Releases to be helpful in their work. =========================================================================== ))) OVERVIEW OF "CODEBOOK PART 1: INTRODUCTION" =========================================================================== Part 1 of the codebook provides an extensive overview of the CSES Module 5 study. It includes general details about the project, the project's governing board (the Planning Committee), and information on the national collaborators who administered CSES Module 5 in their national election study. Further, extensive information about how to access CSES data, CSES documentation, and CSES coding conventions are also provided. In addition, an overview of the sampling procedures and weights of each polity's study as well as a project bibliography are also detailed in this section. =========================================================================== ))) LIST OF TABLES IN CODEBOOK PART 1 =========================================================================== Below, we list the Tables located in Codebook Part 1. Tables can be accessed in the electronic version of the CSES Codebook by searching for "+++". - OVERVIEW OF ELECTION STUDIES INCLUDED IN MODULE 5 WITH NUMBER OF OBSERVATIONS, MODE OF DATA COLLECTION, AND FIELDWORK DATES =========================================================================== ))) THE COMPARATIVE STUDY OF ELECTORAL SYSTEMS (CSES) PROJECT OVERVIEW =========================================================================== --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >>> CSES PROJECT PROFILE --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Comparative Study of Electoral Systems (CSES) is a collaborative program of research among election study teams from around the world. Participating countries include a common module of survey questions in their post-election studies. The resulting data are deposited along with voting, demographic, district and macro variables. The studies are then merged into a single, free, public dataset for use in comparative study and cross-level analysis. The CSES project focuses on respondents' behavior and attitudes during the time of a national election, with a particular emphasis on voting and turnout. Each CSES Module consists of a nationally-representative post-election survey and additional variables about the context of the overall country and electoral system within which the respondents find themselves. Every five years a new CSES Module is designed with a different substantive theme selected to address essential questions in electoral studies and social science. An international committee of leading scholars of electoral politics and political science develop the research agenda, questionnaires, and study design. The design is implemented in each country by their foremost social scientists. By collaborating in this way, the CSES community hopes to forward scientific inquiry into the relationship between electoral institutions and political behavior. The work of the CSES Secretariat is funded by the American National Science Foundation, the GESIS - Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences, and the University of Michigan's Center for Political Studies. Details of particular grants that provided funding for Module 5 are available under the "HOW TO CITE THE CSES MODULE 5 STUDY". The project also receives in-kind support from participating election studies, additional organizations that sponsor planning committee meetings and conferences, and the many organizations that fund national election studies that participate in CSES. This is the fifth iteration of CSES known as CSES Module 5. The remainder of the project description relates specifically to CSES Module 5. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >>> CSES MODULE 5 STUDY DESCRIPTION - ABSTRACT --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CSES Module 5 is scheduled to be in data collection from 2015 through 2021. CSES Module 5 focuses on the examination of so-called "populist attitudes" in the population and how they shape electoral behavior. It focuses on the measurement of three core themes: attitudes towards political elites, attitudes towards representative democracy and majority rule, and attitudes towards out-groups. More information regarding the theme of Module 5 can be found in the CSES Module 5 Theoretical Statement available on the CSES website. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >>> CSES MODULE 5 PLANNING COMMITTEE --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The CSES Module 5 Planning Committee was responsible for the design of CSES Module 5, and took initial responsibility for its implementation. Besides the Chair, Planning Committee Members are listed alphabetically by surname. The following persons were members of
