Reading Genres Data (partial rankings with covariates)
Description
The Reading Genres dataset was collected through an on-line survey conducted in Italy to investigate reading preferences in the context of the 2019 project Patto per la lettura – Conta chi legge. The questionnaire was administrated by the municipality of Latina (Latium, Italy), in collaboration with Sapienza University of Rome and the School of Government of the University of Tor Vergata. A sample of N=507 respondents provided their partial top-5 rankings of n=11 reading genres according to their personal preferences. The reading genres are: 1 = Classic, 2 = Novel, 3 = Thriller, 4 = Fantasy, 5 = Biography, 6 = Teenage, 7 = Horror, 8 = Comics, 9 = Poetry, 10 = Essay and 11 = Humor. The dataset also includes several covariates concerning respondents' socio-demographics characteristics and other free time activities.
