data(profresp)

Format

This data frame contains the following columns:

prof_cat:

Level of professionalism

1 = novice

2 = average

3 = professional

panelnum:

Number of panels respondent has belonged to. A response between 1 and 6 means that the person has belonged to that number of panels; 7 means 7 or more.

survnum_cat:

How many Internet surveys have you completed before this one?

1 = This is my first one

2 = 1-5

3 = 6-10

4 = 11-15

5 = 16-20

6 = 21-30

7 = More than 30

panelq1:

Are you a member of any online survey panels besides this one?

1 = yes

2 = no

panelq2:

7 = 6 others or more.

This question has a missing value if panelq1 = 2. If you want to estimate how many panels a respondent belongs to, create a new variable numpanel that equals panelq2 if panelq2 is not missing and equals 1 if panelq1 = 2.

Details

The data set profresp contains selected variables from the set of 2,407 respondents who completed the survey and provided information on the demographic variables and the information needed to calculate "professional respondent" status. The full data set survey4.rds contains numerous additional questions about behavior that are not included here, as well as the data from the partially completed surveys. The website also contains data for three other online panel surveys. Because profresp is a subset of the full data, statistics calculated from it may differ from those in Zhang et al. (2020).

Missing values are denoted by NA.
