People in Germany 2022 - Experiment

This dataset contains a subset of variables and respondents from the representative population survey "People in Germany 2022". It includes a survey experiment designed to assess individuals’ ability to identify signs of radicalization into political and religious extremism, as well as their preferred responses to such cases. In the experiment, respondents were presented with a scenario describing an acquaintance exhibiting signs of radicalization. The following aspects were randomized: level of radicalization (low vs. high) and type of extremism (right-wing vs. Islamist). Following the scenarios, respondents were asked to assess the severity of the radicalization and indicate how they would react if confronted with such a situation. In addition to the treatment and outcome variables, this dataset contains several control variables, including demographics (age, gender, level of education, religious affiliation, migration background) and survey-related measures (survey mode, self-placement on the left-right ideological scale).
