Values in Crisis Austria - Wave 1, Wave 2 and Wave 3 combined (SUF edition)

Full edition for scientific use. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to various Online-Panel studies to study the social effects of the crisis. The Values in Crisis study stands out in three central aspects. First, it offers a differentiated perspective to study how basic values of Austrian citizens change during times of crises. Second, the VIC study is a global survey project (see <a href="https://doi.org/10.11587/LIHK1L">https://doi.org/10.11587/LIHK1L</a>) which enables to compare the effects of the pandemic in Austria with other countries in Europe and other world regions. Third, the study represents a comparative longitudinal study, measuring the effects of the pandemic in three survey waves called “inmidst the crisis”, “end at sight” and “overcoming the pandemic”. This new dataset “Values in Crisis Austria – Wave 1, Wave 2 and Wave 3 combined” includes the Austrian data of the first wave (May 2020), the second wave (March/April 2021) and the third wave (July 2022). It is possible to analyse the data of the three waves separately or to conduct longitudinal analysis (based on n = 747 respondents who took part in all three surveys).The study investigates basic values (measured with classical value concepts such as the Inglehart Index and the short Portraits Values Questionnaire by Shalom Schwartz) the exposure to the crisis, attitudes towards politics and perceptions on public health and social and economic consequences of the pandemic. We used the international master questionnaire of the comparative study, but we added in all three waves various Austrian specific questions about attitudes towards public restrictions, towards social distancing or Austrian views of a post-corona society. In wave 3 we included also questions on perceptions of social integration, susceptibility to COVID-related conspiracy theories as well as items on political ideology and ethnocentrism.

供科研使用的完整版数据集。新冠疫情期间，学界已开展诸多在线面板研究以探究危机的社会影响。“危机中的价值观”（Values in Crisis，简称VIC）研究在三个核心维度上独具特色：其一，该研究提供了差异化视角，用以探究危机时期奥地利民众的核心价值观如何发生变迁；其二，该研究是一项全球性调查项目（详见https://doi.org/10.11587/LIHK1L），可用于对比奥地利与欧洲其他国家及全球其他地区的疫情影响；其三，该研究为对比性纵向研究，通过“危机之中”“曙光在望”“疫情攻坚”三轮调查衡量疫情的影响。本次发布的“危机中的价值观：奥地利数据集——合并第一、二、三轮调查”，涵盖了2020年5月的第一轮、2021年3/4月的第二轮以及2022年7月的第三轮奥地利调查数据。研究者可单独分析三轮调查的数据，也可基于参与全部三轮调查的747名受访者样本开展纵向分析。该研究围绕核心价值观展开调研：采用英格尔哈特指数（Inglehart Index）、沙洛姆·施瓦茨（Shalom Schwartz）编制的简化版肖像价值观问卷等经典价值观测量工具，同时涵盖民众的危机暴露程度、政治态度，以及对公共卫生、疫情带来的社会与经济后果的认知。本研究使用了该对比性研究的国际通用主问卷，并在三轮调查中均增设了若干奥地利本土化问题，涉及民众对公共防疫限制措施、社交距离政策的态度，以及奥地利民众对后新冠社会的看法。在第三轮调查中，研究团队还增设了关于社会融合认知、新冠相关阴谋论易感程度，以及政治意识形态与民族中心主义相关题项。
