Quantitative dataset on safety-seeking behaviours in older crime victims: data from the Person-Reported Safety-Seeking Behavior Measure (PRSBM)

Quantitative dataset for the study: Safety-Seeking Behaviors and Psychological Distress in Older Victims of Community-Crime: A Cross-Sectional Study Using a Novel Person-Reported MeasureThis dataset is for the quantitative component of the Person-Reported Safety-Seeking Behaviour Measure (PRSBM). Older victims of community crime were asked whether they engaged in six types of behaviours since the crime: (checking, reassurance-seeking, rumination, avoidance, rituals, hypervigilance). If so, they were asked to describe what their behaviour was, rate how frequently they engaged in the behaviour, and how much of change it was since the crime.The data on behaviour frequency and change are reported in this dataset, along with the data used to adjust for gender, age and crime type. The qualitative data on self-described behaviours on the PRSBM is available in the corresponding qualitative dataset.

本数据集旨在定量研究社区犯罪老年受害者所表现出的求安全行为及心理压力，系一项基于创新性个体报告措施的横断面研究。数据集包含对个体报告求安全行为度量（PRSBM）的定量部分。研究者询问老年受害者自犯罪事件以来是否实施了六种行为：检查、寻求安慰、沉思、回避、仪式和过度警觉。若受访者表示有此类行为，则需描述具体行为，评估行为发生的频率，以及与犯罪事件前后变化程度。数据集中报告了行为频率及变化情况，并包含了用于调整性别、年龄和犯罪类型的数据。PRSBM中个体自我描述行为的定性数据可在相应的定性数据集中查阅。
