CGAM–GQ Survey Dataset: Governance Mindset and Democratic Accountability in Ghana (2024)

This dataset enables replication of the analyses presented in the article and supports further research on governance and democracy in Ghana. It accompanies the article “The Future of Ghana’s Democracy: Breaking the Cycle of Profit and Power in a Neopatrimonial State” (Asiedu, 2025). It contains anonymized responses from 334 participants collected in Ghana between August and November 2024. The survey explored governance mindsets, accountability, and democratic values across different groups, including government officials, academics, civil society leaders, and citizens. The dataset includes:• Raw open-ended responses to two key questions on mindset change and core values.• Coded thematic categories mapped to the Collaborative Governance and Accountability Model (CGAM) pillars of Engagement (E), Accountability (A), and Transparency (T).• Per-respondent heuristic GQ scores derived from text-based coding.• Aggregated survey statistics (motivation, responsibility, trust, empowerment, values).• Normalized CGAM scores (E = 0.802, A = 0.9325, T = 0.7085, GQ = 0.8143).• Codebook documenting all variables, coding rules, and scales. All data are anonymized and publicly released under a CC BY 4.0 license.本数据集可复现该文章中呈现的所有分析内容，并为加纳治理与民主领域的后续研究提供支撑。本数据集配套发表于论文《加纳民主的未来：打破新世袭制国家（Neopatrimonial State）中的利润与权力循环》（Asiedu, 2025）。数据集收录了2024年8月至11月间在加纳收集的334名受访者的匿名反馈，该调研覆盖政府官员、学者、民间社会组织领袖及普通民众等多类群体，旨在探究不同群体的治理思维模式、问责意识与民主价值观。 本数据集包含以下内容： • 针对两个核心问题的原始开放式反馈，主题涉及思维模式变革与核心价值观； • 经编码的主题分类，对应协作治理与问责模型（Collaborative Governance and Accountability Model, CGAM）的三大支柱：参与度（Engagement, E）、问责制（Accountability, A）与透明度（Transparency, T）； • 基于文本编码得出的每位受访者的启发式GQ得分； • 汇总后的调查统计数据（涵盖动机、责任感、信任度、赋权程度与价值观维度）； • 标准化后的CGAM得分（E = 0.802，A = 0.9325，T = 0.7085，GQ = 0.8143）； • 记录所有变量、编码规则与量表的编码手册。 所有数据均已完成匿名化处理，并采用CC BY 4.0许可协议公开发布。
