Notes

The deposit has no codebook; the three tables (CA_, GSES_, COPE_) were identified from the record title and the sum columns. A handful of isolated out-of-range entries were dropped (one respondent's 0s on five CA and three GSES items, GSES_10 = 5, COPE_1 = 4 twice, COPE_24 = 8).

These notes describe the source data, which the IRW reproduces as released. All notes are listed on the Data Notes page.

Codebook

This codebook is reconstructed by the IRW from the IRW data standard and the script that built it, kolanska_stronka_2026_climate_anxiety.py. It is our best reading, not the source’s own codebook, and it may contain mistakes. Where the two disagree, the source data are the authority. If you find an error, please tell us.
