CILS4EU Campus Use File

The Campus Use File is available to all undergraduate and graduate students, provided they are supervised or taught by a senior researcher with an institutional affiliation. Like the Scientific Use File (SUF; ZA 5656: Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Survey in Four European Countries (CILS4EU) - Reduced version), the Campus Use File CUF contains the data from Germany, England, the Netherlands and Sweden. There are some major differences between the SUF (ZA 5656: Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Survey in Four European Countries (CILS4EU) - Reduced version) and CUF of the CILS4EU data. First, the CUF consists of a subsample of the CILS4EU sample. Second, certain variables from the SUF are not included in the CUF. Lastly, certain variables in the CUF are modified versions of variables included in the SUF. For more information, see the study documentation. Despite these modifications, which were necessary for data protection reasons, the CUF is a great tool for students to learn about and practice data analysis with real-world data. Since it contains three waves, it is especially well suited for learning about longitudinal data analysis. The CUF also contains social network data on classroom networks in waves one and two. These can be used for social network analysis. The CUF further includes extensive documentation materials, so students and teachers have all the information that is important for data analyses at their disposal. Lastly, due to the thematic focus on the integration of children of immigrants, the CUF data can be used by students to develop and work on research questions in the area of migration and integration.<br>The CUF contains the following data sets:

CUF-version of the wave one youth friends data set. It contains data on several characteristics of up to five of the respondent’s best friends and the respondent’s interaction with them.

CUF-version of the wave one youth main data set, which corresponds to the biggest portion of the interview. It contains respondent’s answers to a broad range of questions covering sociodemographic information, structural, cultural, and social integration, and well-being.

CUF-version of the wave two youth classmates data set. Similar to the wave one procedure, each student nominated others in their class for a number of different criteria.

CUF-version of the wave two youth main data set, which corresponds to the biggest portion of the interview. It contains respondent’s answers to a broad range of questions covering sociodemographic information, structural, cultural, and social integration, and well-being.

CUF-version of the wave three youth friends data set. It contains data on ethnic and educational background of up to three of the respondent’s best friends.

CUF-version of the wave three youth main data set, which corresponds to the biggest portion of the interview. It contains respondent’s answers to a broad range of questions covering sociodemographic information, structural, cultural, and social integration, and well-being.

CUF-version of the tracking data set. It contains general sample information and the participation status for all three waves.
