Humour practices and European attitudes towards democracy - data documentation

This document outlines the scope and key features of the 'Humour Practices and European Attitudes Toward Democracy' dataset, including the procedure followed for its production. The database collects and classifies relevant studies on humour practices, attitudes toward democracy, and modes of civic engagement in the six countries of the DELIAH consortium: Belgium, Estonia, Germany, the Netherlands, Slovakia, and Spain. The dataset pursues two goals: 1) it contributes to a subsequent meta-analysis of humour studies, democratic participation, and civic engagement in online and offline spaces across Europe, which will be carried out by the DELIAH consortium, and 2) it serves as a collective resource for additional DELIAH project tasks, including the design of focus groups and surveys. More broadly, the dataset has also been designed to appeal to scholars outside of the DELIAH consortium who work at the intersection of humour and democracy.本文件阐明了《幽默实践与欧洲民众对民主的态度》（Humour Practices and European Attitudes Toward Democracy）数据集的适用范围与核心特征，涵盖其构建流程。本数据集收录并分类了DELIAH协作组（DELIAH consortium）所辖六个国家——比利时、爱沙尼亚、德国、荷兰、斯洛伐克及西班牙——内与幽默实践、民主态度及公民参与模式相关的各类研究。本数据集旨在达成两大核心目标：其一，为DELIAH协作组后续在全欧洲范围内开展的、针对线上与线下场景中幽默研究、民主参与及公民参与的元分析（meta-analysis）提供学术支撑；其二，作为DELIAH项目其他任务的共享资源，涵盖焦点小组与调查问卷的设计等工作。从更广泛的学术维度来看，本数据集的构建亦面向DELIAH协作组之外、从事幽默与民主交叉领域研究的学者群体。
