Datasets for: How are German mothers feeling during the COVID-19 pandemic? Assessing the prevalence of and analyzing the relationship between depressive symptoms and perceived stress

Data set and analysis scripts to analyze the prevalence rates of depressive symptoms and perceived stress in a sample of mothers living in Germany. We additionally assessed the relationship between the severity of depressive symptoms and perceived stress in a cross-lagged panel design across two measurement points during the COVID-19 pandemic. The data set and analysis script are the empirical basis for one chapter of Christian Woll's PhD thesis. The thesis will soon be published.
