Jyväskylä Longitudinal Study of Personality and Social Development (JYLS): Personality Test and TV Viewing of 33-Year-Olds 1992

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 this data collection wave the subjects completed the NESTA personality inventory and a TV viewing questionnaire. NESTA is an official adapted version of the NEO Personality Inventory (NEO PI), which is developed for assessing five personality traits considered universal: neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experience, agreeableness, and conscientiousness. In the adapted version, one fourth of the original American questions are replaced by Finnish counterparts. The test contains 181 statements, which are answered using a 5-point Likert scale (strongly agree - strongly disagree). The respondents' TV viewing was charted by asking them to indicate how often they watched various programmes (e.g. news, sports programmes, family and relationship movies) aired by particular channels. They were also asked questions on watching different cable and satellite channels and videos. The respondents estimated their average daily TV viewing time on weekdays and weekends. They were also presented with a set of attitudinal statements on various motives and needs connected to watching TV. In addition, they told what kind of programmes they would want to see more on TV. Background variables included the respondent's gender, marital status, education, socioeconomic status, and the year of birth of children living in R's household.

该数据集源自于久瓦斯基拉纵向个性与社会发展研究（JYLS），该研究对同一研究个体进行了长达30年的追踪研究。在本次数据收集阶段，受试者完成了NESTA个性问卷以及电视观看问卷调查。NESTA问卷为NEO个性问卷（NEO PI）的官方修订版，旨在评估五种普遍的人格特质：神经质、外向性、对经验的开放性、宜人性以及责任心。在修订版中，四分之一的原版美国问题被芬兰语问题所替代。问卷包含181条陈述，受试者需使用5点李克特量表（从强烈同意至强烈不同意）进行回答。受试者的电视观看习惯通过询问他们观看特定频道播出的各种节目（例如新闻、体育节目、家庭和关系电影）的频率进行记录。此外，还询问了他们对不同有线电视和卫星频道的观看情况以及视频观看情况。受试者估算了自己在工作日和周末的平均每日电视观看时间。他们还被呈现了一系列与电视观看相关的动机和需求的态度陈述。此外，他们还被询问他们希望在电视上看到更多哪种类型的节目。背景变量包括受试者的性别、婚姻状况、教育程度、社会经济地位以及R家庭中居住的子女的出生年份。
