To collect data from 4chan, 8chan, Reddit, and Breitbart, we used the same SQL query, sampled 200 comments, and edited the query to so it would have sufficient number of true positives (> 94%). The YouTube and online news media datasets are filtered manually.</p> <p>For Breitbart and Reddit, the data is anonymised by omitting author information. The online news media article text is omitted because of copyright concerns.</p> <p>See <a href="https://journals.uic.edu/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/10643/9998">the article on First Monday</a> for the full collection process.</p>

A Repeated Measures Dataset on Public Responses to the COVID-19 Pandemic: Social Norms, Attitudes, Behaviors, Conspiracy Thinking, and (Mis)Information
<p>We present a quantitative repeated measures dataset from intensive longitudinal research (diary survey) conducted with participants drawn from a nationally representative sample of the German population. This diary survey addresses a wide range of variables relevant to the COVID-19 pandemic, including information seeking, attitudes towards science, public health, and related behaviors. Respondents were asked about their thoughts, challenges, concerns, and experiences related to the pandemic. Survey responses were requested every two weeks from November 2020 and September 2021 for a total of 18 stages of data collection. The diary survey responses were all matched to the same individual. Using the unique identifier for each individual, the diary survey dataset can be analyzed in concert with a larger representative survey sample that was conducted three times within the same research project over this time period. The diary dataset we present here includes socio-demographic information and other potentially relevant variables, ready for secondary analysis.<br> <br> Initial sample frame: <em>N </em>= 1,480</p> <p>Initial diary survey sub-sample: <em>N </em>= 133</p>
