The fields that can be found for each entry are (1) Different scenarios about the energy transition and reactions to those scenarios, (money spent on energy investments, decisions about scenarios, actions taken under a blackout, etc.) (2) Determinant factors about the chosen scenarios in the previous question, which include different choices that could affect your decision about a scenario (3) socioeconomic information about the user (age, country of residence, studies), (4) estimation of the prices of various technologies related to the energy transition and (5) descriptive statistics about the household living situation (gender of user, people living in household, yearly rent, average savings per month, type of house, size of house) and also includes questions about climate change expertise. Next you can found a description of each field in the dataset <strong>Section 1 - Scenarios for energy transition.</strong> <strong>ID90.</strong> Rank in order of priority, from top to bottom, in which scenario you will be willing to live or to contribute/invest to make it possible. <strong>ID36, ID38, ID43, ID44, ID72. </strong>Percentage of money people are willing to spend/save out of their income per scenario <strong>ID191, ID192</strong>..

description: The new versions add socioeconomic information that was not included. In particular, most of the content for questions ID300 Country of residence, ID137 Age and ID178 Highest level of education were missing. Moreover, the format of fields [ID325, ID326, ID327, ID328, ID329, ID330, ID331, ID332, ID333, ID334, ID335, ID336, ID337, ID338, ID339, ID340, ID341, ID133, ID242]. and [ID251, ID256, ID257, ID292, ID293, ID294, ID295, ID296, ID297, ID298, ID299, ID301, ID302, ID303, ID304, ID305, ID306, ID250, ID251] was updated to be strictly numeric (and not in the format x/10). Finally, we have change the file format to CSV file to increase compatibility.
