Young People in Germany 2022 - Experiment

This dataset contains a subset of variables and respondents from the population survey "Young People in Germany 2022". It includes a survey experiment investigating the impact of sexual violence scenarios on anti-immigration attitudes. In the experiment, respondents were asked to imagine a fictional scenario in which a young woman becomes the victim of an attack. The following elements were randomized: type of violence (sexual, political, or undefined); the perpetrator’s origin (German citizen or asylum seeker); and the victim’s presumed origin (German name or foreign-sounding name). A control group was included that did not receive any manipulation. After exposure to the treatment conditions, respondents were asked about their general attitudes toward refugees and asylum in Germany. Additionally, a set of questions measured biases in the evaluation of violent crime. This dataset includes all variables from the experiment, as well as key control variables, including demographics (age, gender, level of education, migration background) and survey-related measures (attention check, self-placement on the left-right ideological scale).
