ABC News/Washington Post War Poll #2, March 2003 (ICPSR 3779)
Released/updated on: 2003-07-30
Geographic coverage: United States
This special topic poll, conducted March 23, 2003, was undertaken to assess public opinion on the war against Iraq. Respondents were asked whether they approved of the way President George W. Bush was handling the presidency, as well as the situation with Iraq and Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. Those polled were asked whether they supported or opposed the war, whether the war was going better or worse than expected, whether Iraqi resistance had been tougher or weaker than expected, and whether the battle for control of Baghdad would be difficult or easy. Views were sought on whether the United States and its allies had done the right thing, how long the war would last, whether there would be significant United States casualties, and whether everything was being done to avoid United States military and civilian casualties. A series of questions addressed anti-war demonstrations. Topics covered whether respondents had attended either anti-war or pro-war demonstrations, whether people had a right to demonstrate peacefully against the war, and whether anti-war demonstrations in other countries had affected respondents' support for the war. A final question probed whether respondents felt worried, proud, frightened, angry, or hopeful about the war. Background information on respondents includes age, gender, political party, and Hispanic origin.

The Global Digital Activism Data Set (GDADS), released February 2013 by the Digital Activism Research Project (DARP) at the University of Washington in Seattle, features coded cases of online digital activism from 151 countries and dependent territories. Several features from each case of digital activism were documented, including the year that online action commenced, the country of origin of the initiator(s), the geographic scope of their campaign, and whether the action was online only, or also featured offline activities. Researchers were interested in the number and types of software applications that were used by digital activists. Specifically, information was collected on whether software applications were used to circumvent censorship or evade government surveillance, to transfer money or resources, to aid in co-creation by a collaborative group, or for purposes of networking, mobilization, information sharing, or technical violence (destructive/disruptive hacking). The collection illustrates the overall focus of each case of digital activism by defining the cause advanced or defended by the action, the initiator's diagnosis of the problem and its perceived origin, the identification of the targeted audience that the campaign sought to mobilize, as well as the target whose actions the initiators aimed to influence. Finally, each case of digital activism was evaluated in terms of its success or failure in achieving the initiator's objectives, and whether any other positive outcomes were apparent.

Survey of Campus Incidents as Interpreted by College Presidents, Faculty Chairmen and Student Body Presidents, 1970 (ICPSR 7327)
Released/updated on: 2011-11-16
Geographic coverage: United States
This study was conducted in the summer of 1970 following the invasion of Cambodia in May 1970. Presidents, faculty chairmen, and student body presidents of all accredited colleges and universities in the United States were queried about the types of incidents that occurred on their campuses. These included incidents in which the National Guard was called, off-campus police were used, one or more protestors were arrested, temporary restraining orders or injunctions were obtained, teach-ins, rallies, or discussion groups took the place of regular academic activities, and where Black demands or racism were raised as issues. Other incidents examined were those involving destructive acts by students that took place off-campus and incidents involving serious damage to or the destruction of property, personal injury, or death. The seriousness of the incidents was reported as well as the response of the faculty, administration, and outside government units. The respondents were asked what plans were prepared before May of 1970 to handle unrest, and the degree to which these were implemented, as well as their proposals to curb or limit future outbreaks. The data include information on the school, such as location, size, sex of students, presence of ROTC on campus, academic emphasis, acceptance standards, and dollars expended per student.
