MEDIATIZED EU Public Opinion Survey ORDP Dataset and Codebook

The MEDIATIZED EU project aims to study how the media discourses are constructed to foster or hamper the European project and how they resonate among the public by focusing on the elite-media-public triangle. The research was conducted in seven target countries: Ireland, Belgium, Estonia, Spain, Portugal, Hungary and Georgia.  This dataset is part of the integration of the MEDIATIZED EU project research data into the EU’s Open Research Data Pilot. In accordance with the Data Management Plan, public opinion survey data were deemed suitable for being openly shared through ORDP to be accessible and of use to other academic researchers in Europe and worldwide. Quantitative data derived from surveys was deemed suitable, with the only concerns being the heterogeneous nature of some of the survey questions in each target country.  The aim of the population surveys was to investigate public opinion about the media and elites in their country and the EU and how they interpret elite and media discourses on Europeanisation and European integration. The merged database allows the project participants and other researchers to compare their national research results with phenomena in other participating countries.  This dataset contains a subset of integrated survey data including those survey questions where comparative data was available. The final deliverable contains this subsection of the survey data which has been weighted and cleaned, in .SAV and .XLS formats, and provides the requisite codebook for the dataset.
