Codebook: EUframes_cy.csv
Country-year panel built for the workshop “Applied Replication for Data Skills” (first delivered at the Open Research Conference, Newcastle University, June 2026). One row per EU member state per year, 2004–2013 (27 countries × 10 years = 270 rows).
Sources and construction
Individual-level data: 16 Eurobarometer waves (EB 61.0, 62.0, 63.4, 64.2, 65.2, 67.2, 69.2, 70.1, 72.4, 73.4, 74.2, 75.3, 76.3, 77.3, 78.1, 79.3), GESIS scientific-use files, as analysed in Teney (2016, European Sociological Review 32(5): 619–633) and in the Multi100 reanalysis of that paper (analyst C6HJR, https://osf.io/8rtwe/). The raw microdata are not redistributable – obtain them from GESIS (https://search.gesis.org/) under their usage terms. This file contains only derived country-year aggregates.
The four framing scales follow Teney (2016: 623): for each respondent, the number of mentioned items belonging to a dimension divided by the respondent’s total number of mentioned items (13 items; the ‘Euro’ item is excluded, following footnote 1 of the original paper). Respondents who mention no items score 0, matching the convention in the published replication script. Scales are then averaged within country-year.
Dimension item assignment (questionnaire item → dimension):
| Dimension | Items |
|---|---|
| Cosmopolitan (positive, non-materialist) | Peace; Democracy; Freedom to travel, study and work anywhere in the EU; Cultural diversity; Stronger say in the world |
| Utilitarian (positive, materialist) | Economic prosperity; Social protection |
| Communitarian (negative, non-materialist) | Unemployment; Loss of cultural identity; More crime; Not enough control at external borders |
| Libertarian (negative, materialist) | Bureaucracy; Waste of money |
Provenance note. This panel was rebuilt independently from the raw GESIS files, using the sixteen-wave inventory above. The as-submitted Multi100 artefact (rep_data.csv) is preserved unchanged alongside it, under the column names that the original submission used.
