Faith Matters Survey, 2006 (ICPSR 36315)
Released/updated on: 2016-03-22
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 2006-06-01--2006-08-01
The Faith Matters (FM) Survey was conducted on behalf of Harvard University by International Communications Research in the summer of 2006. The national survey interviewed approximately 3,100 respondents in an hour-long phone survey both about their religion (beliefs, belongings and behavior) and their social and political engagement. The 2006 Faith Matters Survey provides the bulk of the data in the book American Grace: How Religion Divides and Unites us by Campbell and Putnam. Wherever possible the Faith Matters Survey replicated questions asked in other surveys, enabling the research team to validate findings with different sources of data (including the General Social Survey and the National Election Studies). Interviews were conducted in both English and Spanish. To ensure the accuracy of the Spanish translation, the team had the survey backward-translated into English after completion. When asked if they would like to participate in the survey, respondents were not told that it was a study about religion. Instead, interviewers introduced themselves and said that the survey was being conducted on behalf of researchers at Harvard and Notre Dame, and that it was "on some current events". Demographic variables in this study include age, gender, education, household income, ethnicity, political ideology, and citizenship.

Mexico Panel Study, 2012 (ICPSR 35024)
Released/updated on: 2016-03-11
Geographic coverage: Mexico
Time period: 2012-03-01--2012-07-01
The Mexico 2012 Panel Study is a two-wave, major survey research project on Mexico's 2012 general election campaign with a focus on vote buying and the impact of crime and violence on vote choices. It is roughly comparable in scope to the American National Election Studies and the British Elections Studies. Similar to the Mexico 2000 and Mexico 2006 Panel Studies, it is intended to be a resource for scholars working on campaigns, public opinion, voting behavior, and political communication, whether they focus on Mexico or not. The 2012 Panel Study examines democratic consolidation in Mexico through the lens of electoral politics and documents how the mass public, the candidates, the political parties, and the media interact to shape the subjects of electoral contests - taking into account the possibility that political elites may anticipate the preferences of ordinary citizens and of other elites. The goal of the study was to understand why electoral campaigns highlight or downplay certain issues, and to assess the implications of these dynamics for democratic governance. Some of the questions in this study include "Who sets the agenda in Mexican elections?", "To what extent does this agenda respond to, engage, or ignore ordinary citizens?", and "What do the dynamics of 'issue emergence' mean for democratic representation?". Demographic variables include, age, sex, civil/marital status, education, income, occupation, social class, and religion.
