Jyväskylä Longitudinal Study of Personality and Social Development (JYLS): Self-Ratings of 42-Year-Olds 2001

The data are part of the Jyväskylä Longitudinal Study of Personality and Social Development (JYLS), in which the same individuals have been followed over 30 years. At the 2001 research stage, various aspects of the lives of 42-year-old participants were charted with the help of a life situation questionnaire, an interview, self-rating questionnaires, personality tests, and a medical examination. This dataset contains the responses to the 26 self-rating questionnaires, which were given to the participants during the interviews. The questionnaires are either original or modified versions of various tests and methods translated into Finnish. At the beginning of the interview, the respondents completed two questionnaires charting their emotions in terms of accepting, recognising and controlling them. The respondents also assessed their self-esteem, mental and social wellbeing, alcohol use, and attitude towards young people and the joys and sorrows of life. One topic pertained to couple relationship. The respondents evaluated their attitudes towards the same and the opposite sex in terms of the four prototypical attachment styles (i.e. self-sufficient, secure, fearful, and clinging). Some questions concentrated on the cohesion, disagreements, sex, and happiness in the relationship. The respondents' aggressiveness, self-control, and ways of expressing emotions were also explored. Opinions were canvassed on the family atmosphere, raising children, work-life balance, and relationship with own parents. The respondents also described their children in terms of obedience and concentration. Background variable used: the respondent's gender.本数据集源自于韦斯屈莱人格与社会发展纵向研究（Jyväskylä Longitudinal Study of Personality and Social Development, JYLS），该研究对同一批受试者进行了长达30余年的追踪调研。在2001年的研究阶段，研究团队通过生活情境问卷、访谈、自评问卷、人格测试以及医学检查，全面刻画了42岁参与者的多维度生活图景。本数据集包含26份自评问卷的应答数据，这些问卷均在访谈环节发放给参与者。这些问卷要么为原创版本，要么是经修订后译为芬兰语的各类测试与研究方法。访谈伊始，参与者完成了两份旨在评估其情绪接纳、识别与调控能力的问卷。参与者还对自身自尊水平、心理与社会福祉状况、饮酒行为、对年轻人的态度以及生活的喜怒哀乐进行了自评。其中一个调研主题围绕亲密伴侣关系展开：参与者依据四种典型依恋类型（即自给自足型、安全型、恐惧型与痴迷型），评价了自身对同性与异性的态度。部分问题聚焦于伴侣关系中的亲密度、分歧、性生活与幸福感。研究还对参与者的攻击性、自我控制能力以及情绪表达方式进行了调研。调研还征集了参与者关于家庭氛围、育儿实践、工作与生活平衡以及与原生父母关系的看法。参与者还从服从性与专注力两个维度描述了自己的子女。本次分析使用的背景变量为参与者的性别。
