Elite Framing in the 1953 Plzen Currency Reform Protest (ICPSR 109442)
Released/updated on: 2019-04-24
Time period: 1950-01-01--1960-12-31
This project’s primary research objective was to examine state elite framing of the 1953 labor uprising in Plzen, Czechoslovakia. The protest occurred after the ruling party, the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia, announced a currency reform that transferred a large amount of wealth from citizens to the state. In response, thousands of workers in the industrial city of Plzen rallied at the city square to demand their money back. This project examines how the state responded discursively to the uprising, as well as the repressive actions taken against the protesters during and following the event.

These data are being released as a preliminary version to facilitate early access to the study for research purposes. This collection has not been fully processed by ICPSR at this time, and data are released in the format provided by the principal investigators. As the study is processed and given enhanced features by ICPSR in the future, users will be able to download the updated versions of the study. Please report any data errors or problems to user support, and we will work with you to resolve any data-related issues.
The American National Election Study (ANES): 2016 Pilot Study sought to test new instrumentation under consideration for potential inclusion in the ANES 2016 Time Series Study, as well as future ANES studies. Much of the content is based on proposals from the ANES user community submitted through the Online Commons page, found on the ANES home page. The survey included questions about preferences in the presidential primary, stereotyping, the economy, discrimination, race and racial consciousness, police use of force, and numerous policy issues, such as immigration law, health insurance, and federal spending. It was conducted on the Internet using the YouGov panel, an international market research firm that administers polls that collect information about politics, public affairs, products, brands, as well as other topics of general interest.

Released/updated on: 2010-12-06
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 2009-08-01--2009-08-31
This poll, fielded August 27-31, 2009, is part of a continuing series of monthly surveys that solicit public opinion on the presidency and on a range of other political and social issues. Respondents were asked whether they approved of the way Barack Obama was handling the presidency, foreign policy, the situation in Afghanistan, health care, and the economy. Respondents were asked if they thought things in the country were on the right track, their rating of the national economy, and whether they thought the economy would get better. Respondents were also asked questions about the economic recession, including how long they thought it would last, the advisability of the federal government spending money to stimulate the national economy, whether it was acceptable to raise the deficit to create jobs and stimulate growth, and whether the federal budget deficit affected the respondent's family's financial situation. Several questions addressed health care, including whether respondents thought our health care system worked well, whether Medicare worked well, and whether the government would do a better job than private health care companies in keeping health care costs down and providing medical coverage. Respondents were also asked their opinions on the health insurance industry, whether they believed in the possibility of expanding health care coverage without increasing budget deficits or taxes on the middle class, whether Barack Obama or the Republicans in Congress had better ideas about reforming the health care system, and whether they understood the health care reforms Congress was considering. Information was collected on how respondents thought health care reforms under consideration in Congress would affect the middle class, senior citizens, small businesses, the respondent personally, their health care costs, and the quality of health care. Additional topics that were covered included the pullout of troops from Iraq, major credit cards, credit card debt, how the federal government should use taxpayer's money, how to handle the deficit, personal finances, the best way to discourage obesity, and job security. Demographic variables include sex, age, race, marital status, education level, household income, political party affiliation, political philosophy, perceived social class, religious preference, and voter registration status and participation history.

Civil Strife Conflict Magnitudes, 1955-1970 (ICPSR 7485)
Released/updated on: 2006-01-18
Geographic coverage: Global
Time period: 1955-01-01--1970-12-31
This data collection provides aggregate measures of the magnitude and intensity of civil conflicts that occurred between 1955-1970 in up to 115 countries. The variables were derived by aggregating and weighting the information on specific conflict events contained in CIVIL STRIFE EVENTS, 1955-1970 (ICPSR 7531). Included are measures of "scope," indexed by number of man-days of participation per 100,000 population, and "intensity," indexed by number of deaths per 10 million population. Separate and mutually exclusive sets of magnitude measures are constructed for domestic and anti-foreign conflicts, violent and non-violent political conflicts, and turmoil and rebellion. An alternative measure of intensity is calculated by weighting total deaths by number of participants, across all events, but is not combined into any magnitude scores. Three data files include five-year aggregations: Part 1 for 1955-1960, covering ten countries, Part 2 for 1961-1965, covering 115 countries, and Part 3 for 1966-1970, covering 87 countries. Two additional files provide annual aggregations: Part 4 contains data for all 115 countries for the period 1961-1970, and Part 5 includes information only for the ten countries on which data were collected for every year between 1955-1970. A related study, CONFLICT AND SOCIETY (ICPSR 7452), contains indicators for the independent variables selected to test causal relationships with these events.

Civil Strife Events, 1955-1970 (ICPSR 7531)
Released/updated on: 1992-02-16
Geographic coverage: Global
Time period: 1955-01-01--1970-12-31
This study contains information about instances of internal conflict or violence that occurred in various countries or political entities between 1955-1970. Data were collected from serial publications on any overt collective confrontation between private and/or public groups that took place within the boundaries of a political system. Events in over 100 countries were recorded for the period 1961-1965. From the original group of countries, 87 were also coded for civil strife events occurring between 1966-1970, and a stratified sample of 10 political entities designed to represent countries at different levels of economic development was further investigated for the period 1955-1960. Each event was coded for approximately 90 characteristics, including date and duration of event, type and number of participants, location, type of event, motives of actors, and amounts of violence. Related studies CIVIL STRIFE CONFLICT MAGNITUDES, 1955-1970 (ICPSR 7485) and CONFLICT AND SOCIETY (ICPSR 7452) contain, respectively, measures of the magnitude and intensity of the events covered in the present study and indicators for the independent variables selected to test causal relationships with these events.
