Sisällön kuvaus

The PsyCoLaGe data collected in Spain and Mexico is part of the research project 'Gender, Society and Language Use: Evidence from Mexico and Spain” and contains the project's psychological data. The project also collected the CoLaGe corpus, which has been archived in the Language Bank of Finland (for further information, see 'Other Material”). The PsyCoLaGe data can be used to examine, for example, various research questions related to gender, gender roles and gender stereotypes, and it can additionally be used together with the corpus.

The data were used to examine respondents' attitudes and perceptions primarily regarding gender and partly sexuality. This was carried out using various instruments measuring psychological characteristics, which assessed, for example, respondents' views on gender role ideologies, attitudes towards gay men, behaviour-based gender role self-concept, and perceptions of the relationship between voice characteristics and gender. The modes of measurement varied. Respondents were asked, for example, to evaluate whether the sentences presented in the questionnaire were uttered by women or men, whether certain voice or personality traits were typical of women, men or both genders, and whether they agreed or disagreed with statements concerning gender.

The variable labels in the archived dataset include information on which instrument measuring psychological characteristics each variable belongs to. Some value labels of the variables include annotations indicating whether the voice features, sentences, and descriptions of everyday tasks presented to respondents are female‑typical or male‑typical, and whether the presented statement is egalitarian or traditional. These annotations are based on the instruments used to measure psychological characteristics.

The full questions, question preambles, and response options can be found in the questionnaire (quF4041_mul.pdf). The questions were presented to respondents either in Peninsular Spanish or Mexican Spanish depending on their nationality, not in English.

The background variables of the dataset are nationality, gender, sexual orientation and a dichotomous age group.

Non-probability: Purposive

Respondents were initially recruited through social media. To achieve a sufficiently large sample size, additional respondents were recruited through the researchers' personal contacts (excluding friends and relatives). In addition, respondents who had already been reached recruited further participants (i.e. snowball sampling).

Aineiston käytössä huomioitavaa

For confidentiality reasons, the researchers anonymised the data by removing variables describing the respondent's level of education, main activity, marital status, number of children, childhood region, size of childhood region, and the country of residence at the time of data collection. For the same reason, variables indicating the respondent's age and sexual orientation were recoded into broader categories. In addition, the responses of four participants were removed from the archived dataset to ensure their anonymity.

Additional items that are not part of the original scale have been added to the BSRI scale in this dataset.

The last six characters of the variable Informant_ID, consisting of four letters and two digits, were generated randomly and form the respondent ID. The other characters in the variable indicate the respondent's corpus, gender, and age group.

The dataset does not include the original date variable, as it did not function as intended across all file formats. Two new variables, Recording_time_year and Recording_time_month, have been created in the archived dataset based on the original variable. Together, these variables contain the same information as the original variable.

Painokertoimet

There are no weight variables in the data.
