title: China Rice Theory Data

description: Cross-cultural psychologists have mostly contrasted East Asia with the West. However, this study shows that there are psychological differences within China almost as large as differences between East and West. We propose that a history of farming rice makes cultures more interdependent, while farming wheat makes cultures more independent, and these agricultural legacies continue to affect people in the modern world. We tested 1,162 Han Chinese participants in six sites and found that rice-growing southern China is more interdependent and holistic-thinking than the wheat-growing north. To control for confounds like climate, we tested people from neighboring counties along the rice-wheat border and found differences that were just as large. We also show that modernization and pathogen prevalence theories do not fit the data.

title: Iceland Survey Round 1 (2010)

description: We conducted an original survey of Icelandic public opinion following the first ?Icesave? referendum held on March 6, 2010. Topics include voting behavior in both the referendum and prior general election; subjective economic status/concerns; national versus European identity; attitudes towards other countries and the European Union (EU); media usage; general questions about political interest, knowledge, ideology, party affiliation, government approval, etc.; and sociodemographics.      <br><br>The survey was administered by the Social Science Research Institute (SSRI) of the University of Iceland via computer-assisted telephone interviews to a nationally representative sample of adults 18 years or older drawn from the Icelandic national register. Given the lopsided nature of the referendum outcome (fewer than 2% voted yes), we asked SSRI to oversample the yes votes. They telephoned 1505 individuals, of which 877 agreed to participate.<br>

title: A Whole Other Story: Inclusive Victimhood Narratives Reduce Competitive Victimhood and Intergroup Hostility

description: Three studies investigate the power of conflict narratives focusing on either inclusive or competitive victimhood to reduce conflict. Among higher power groups, inclusive narratives reduced competitive victimhood and conflict only when people were unconcerned that by doing do they would lose third party support. Among a lower power group, inclusive narratives reduced competitive victimhood and conflict regardless of concern about loss of third party support.

title: National Surveys on Energy and Environment [United States]

description: The National Surveys on Energy and Environment (NSEE), a core activity in CLOSUP's Energy and Environmental Policy Initiative, reflects a formal partnership between the Muhlenberg Institute of Public Opinion at Muhlenberg College and the Center for Local, State, and Urban Policy at the University of Michigan's Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy. NSEE surveys include twice per year national opinion surveys on issues directly related to climate change and energy policy, as well as other surveys conducted on a range of topics such as hydraulic fracturing ("fracking"), the Great Lakes, and wider issues of energy and environment. NSEE is co-directed by professor Barry Rabe at the University of Michigan, and professor Christopher Borick at Muhlenberg College. For more information on the collaboration between the University of Michigan and Muhlenberg College, please see the recent article from Muhlenberg Magazine. For more information about the NSEE, contact CLOSUP staff at 734-647-4091 or closup@umich.edu. From 2008-2012 the survey was called the “National Survey of American Public Opinion on Climate Change” (NSAPOOC); starting in 2013 the survey was renamed to the “National Surveys on Energy and Environment” (NSEE). 
<br>
<br>The NSEE is committed to transparency in all facets of our work, including timely release and posting of data from each survey wave. A grant from the Office of the Provost at the University of Michigan will enable us to expand and accelerate this work, including providing online access to NSEE frequency tables and survey instruments, followed by datasets. Users can see a list of topics covered by the NSEE, and search for questions by text, variable name, or variable category on CLOSUP's website. 
<br>
<br>Although the datasets are listed by survey wave, the NSEE is a valuable source of longitudinal public-opinion data on climate change and energy policy. Many questions have been asked over multiple waves, including questions about belief in global warming that have been asked in every wave of the NSEE. Consult the NSEE Crosswalk to see which questions have been asked in prior and subsequent waves of the NSEE. To facilitate longitudinal analysis, the NSEE datasets use a longitudinal variable naming scheme to facilitate longitudinal analysis. Variable names include two parts: a subject category for the question, and a description of the contents of the question. When a question has been asked with the same text and response options over multiple waves, the same variable name will be used in each dataset. For more information on the longitudinal naming scheme users should consult the codebooks for the datasets.

title: NEH Effects of Relative Humidity Fluctuations on Paper Permanence

description: The goal of this research is to use analytical data to define a relative humidity (RH) range and fluctuation rate that does not cause permanent physical and chemical damage to paper-based objects. This project follows up on an initial study completed in 2001 that examined the degradation of cotton paper when exposed to humidities cycled between 25% ? 75% every two hours at room temperature. The next step in that investigation will be exploring in more depth the key factors that may determine the magnitude of risk, paper composition and humidity excursions. The principal activities will be to generate data by exposing three types of paper?a rag paper control, an acidic newsprint, and a modern alkaline book paper?to fluctuating humidity conditions. Those humidity environments will explore different ranges of excursions?a small one in line with the current definition of ?safe,? and a larger one more similar to an environment with little or no humidity control. Tests will also examine the effect of the rate of humidity shift: a rapid one, in which large shear forces may result from wet-dry interfaces within the paper, and a slower shift, which would allow more gradual equilibration that might mitigate the internal shear forces. The molecular weight of the cellulose, as well as the tensile strength and elasticity, color, and moisture content of the tested papers will be measured in order to characterize the stability of paper-based artifacts in these environments. The expected result will be quantifiable evidence of the risk of exposing paper-based artifacts to large and rapid changes in relative humidity.<br>There are three major reasons why this work will have a significant impact for archives, libraries, and museums. One, it will clarify more precisely the environmental conditions that are necessary to best preserve paper-based artifacts; as recently as 2014, discussion and debate regarding truly safe storage and display conditions for hygroscopic materials was still ongoing. Two, the conditions delineated will be defined by scientific data acquired in laboratory experiments that simulate the storage environments (and are not inferences derived from testing performed at elevated temperatures, for example). Three, the findings of the research will greatly aid sustainability planning, informing the level of climate control that is necessary for collection preservation.<br><br>        Works of art on paper: books, documents, and photographs: techniques and conservation; contributions to the Baltimoar Congress, 2-6 September, 2002<br><br>

title: Lifelong Learning Survey of Recent US College Graduates

description: The Project Information Literacy (PIL) lifelong learning survey dataset was produced as part of a two-year federally funded study on relatively recent US college graduates and their information-seeking behavior for continued learning. The goal of the survey was to collect quantitative data about the information-seeking behavior of a sample of recent graduates?the strategies, techniques, information support systems, and best practices?used to support lifelong learning in post-college life. The dataset contains responses from 1,651 respondents to a 21-item questionnaire administered between October 9, 2014 and December 15, 2014. The voluntary sample of respondents consisted of relatively recent graduates, who had completed their degrees between 2007 and 2012, from one of 10 US colleges and universities in the institutional sample. Quantitative data are included in the dataset about the learning needs of relatively recent graduates as well as the information sources they used in three arenas of their post-college lives (i.e., personal life, workplace, and the communities in which they resided). Demographic information?including age, gender, major, GPA, employment status, graduate school attendance, and geographic proximity of current residence to their alma mater?is also included in the dataset for the respondents.   <br><br>"Staying Smart: How Today's Graduates Continue to Learn Once They Complete College," Alison J.

title: High Intensity Interval- vs Moderate Intensity- Training for Improving Cardiometabolic Health in Overweight or Obese Males: A Randomized Controlled Trial

description: Purpose: To compare the effects of six weeks of high intensity interval training (HIIT) vs continuous moderate intensity training (MIT) for improving body composition, insulin sensitivity (SI), blood pressure, blood lipids, and cardiovascular fitness in a cohort of sedentary overweight or obese young men. We hypothesized that HIIT would result in similar improvements in body composition, cardiovascular fitness, blood lipids, and SI as compared to the MIT group, despite requiring only one hour of activity per week compared to five hours per week for the MIT group. Twenty-eight sedentary overweight or obese men (age, 20 � 1.5 years, body mass index 29.5 � 3.3 kg/m2) participated in a six week exercise treatment. Participants were randomly assigned to HIIT or MIT and evaluated at baseline and post-training. DXA was used to assess body composition, graded treadmill exercise test to measure cardiovascular fitness, oral glucose tolerance to measure SI, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to assess lipoprotein particles, and automatic auscultation to measure blood pressure.

title: National Survey of the Public's Moral Concerns about Biobank Research: 2014 [United States]

description: A nationally representative sample of the US adult population was surveyed in June of 2014. GfK Knowledge Networks, a survey research firm, recruited participants from their probability-based internet panel, KnowledgePanel, which represents 97% of U.S. households. See http://www.knowledgenetworks.com/ganp/docs/KnowledgePanel(R)-Design-Summary.pdf for additional details about the design of the panel and GfK's methodology. The survey was designed to explore the effect of "non-welfare interests" (NWIs) on the public's willingness to donate to a biobank. Non-welfare interests refers to the moral, religious, or cultural concerns that potential donors may have with how their donated biospecimens could be used. Respondents were presented with 7 NWI research scenarios (e.g. research to make abortions safer and more effective) and were then asked whether they would be willing to provide blanket (or broad) consent knowing such research might be conducted. The survey also asked about respondents' preferences for 5 biobank consent policies, ranging from blanket (or broad) consent to real-time specific (or study-by-study) consent. A variety of additional sociodemographic and attitudinal data were collected, including responses to the Research Attitudes Questionnaire (RAQ)--a measure of trust in medical research. The final dataset includes 1,599 responses, a response rate of 60.2%.

title: Guided and unguided Internet-based treatment for problematic alcohol use

description: Background: The Internet has increasingly been studied as mode of delivery for interventions targeting problematic alcohol use. Most interventions have been fully automated, but some research suggests that adding counselor guidance may improve alcohol consumption outcomes.   Methods: An eight-module Internet-based self-help program based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) was tested among Internet help-seekers. Eighty participants with problematic alcohol use according to the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT; scores of ≥ 6 for women and ≥ 8 for men) were recruited online from an open access website and randomized into three different groups. All groups were offered the same self-help program, but participants in two of the three groups received Internet-based counselor guidance in addition to the self-help program. One of the guidance groups was given a choice between guidance via asynchronous text messages or synchronous text-based chat, while the other guidance group received counselor guidance via asynchronous text messages only.    Results: In the choice group, 65% (13 of 20 participants) chose guidance via asynchronous text messages. At the 10-week post-treatment follow-up, an intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis showed that participants in the two guidance groups (choice and messages) reported significantly lower past week alcohol consumption compared to the group without guidance; 10.8 (SD=12.1) versus 22.6 (SD=18.4); p=0.001; Cohen’s d=0.77. Participants in both guidance groups reported significantly lower scores on the AUDIT at follow-up compared to the group without guidance, with a mean score of 14.4 (SD=5.2) versus 18.2 (SD=5.9); p=0.003; Cohen’s d=0.68. A higher proportion of participants in the guidance groups said that they would recommend the program compared to the group without guidance (81% for choice; 93% for messages versus 47% for self-help).   Conclusion: Self-help programs for problematic alcohol use can be more effective in reducing alcohol consumption over a 10-week period when counselor guidance is added.

title: Quasi-Experimental Survey on the Effect of Microfinance: 2015 [Malaysia}

description: Microfinance is perceived as an effective tool to empower women especially those who are deprived of accessing financial services. However, literature provides conflicting evidence and demonstrates that empowerment may not, or may only be partially achieved especially in Muslims community. This study intended to examine how access to Amanah Ikhtiar Malaysia (AIM) productive loan affect Malay Muslims women in urban area. A quasi experimental approach was conducted through a cross sectional survey distributed to 500 of old and new clients. The analysis shows significant effects on participation in (AIM) microcredit on household decisions making and access to health insurance.
