The Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey, RESTRICTED RELEASE 20 (Waves 1-20)
No full textThe Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey is a nationally representative longitudinal study of Australian households which commenced in 2001. Funded by the Australian Government Department of Social Services (DSS), the HILDA Survey is managed by the Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research at the University of Melbourne. The HILDA Survey provides longitudinal data on the lives of Australian residents. Its primary objective is to support research questions falling within three broad and inter-related areas of income, labour market and family dynamics. The HILDA Survey is a household-based panel study of Australian households and, as such, it interviews all household members (15 years and over) of the selected households and then re-interviews the same people in subsequent years. This dataset is the 20th release of the HILDA data, incorporating data collected from 2001 through 2020 (Waves 1-20). The special topic module in Wave 20 is education, skills and abilities (excluding the cognitive ability tests). There are also new questions, including the impact of COVID-19, digital platform work, financial well-being, food insecurity, and resilience/self-reliance.

Ten to Men: The Australian Longitudinal Study on Male Health, Release 3 (Waves 1-3)
No full textTen to Men: The Australian Longitudinal Study on Male Health was commissioned by the Commonwealth Department of Health in 2011 in response to the 2010 National Male Health Policy. This is Australia’s first national longitudinal study that focuses exclusively on male health and wellbeing. The cohort was recruited using a stratified, multi-stage & cluster sampling design to select males aged 10–55 years. Recruitment of eligible participants and Wave 1 of the data collection occurred between October 2013 and July 2014, resulting in a reconciled sample size of 16,021. The survey content was structured around six key research domains relevant to male health: wellbeing and mental health, use of health services, health-related behaviours, health status, health knowledge and social determinants.
Wave 2 of the data collection occurred between November 2015 and May 2016. The sample size for Wave 2 was 11,936. The Wave 2 questionnaires largely retained Wave 1 items to obtain repeat longitudinal measures. New items added included additional questions on relationships, mental health, health literacy, help-seeking and resilience. Release 2.1 comprised of updated Wave 1 and Wave 2 datasets. These datasets have undergone changes to previous releases, including the renaming of variables, confidentialisation and other modifications. Release 2.1 offers General Release and Restricted Release.
Wave 3 of the data collection occurred between July 2020 and February 2021. The sample size for Wave 3 was 7,919. The Wave 3 questionnaires largely retained items from previous waves to obtain repeat longitudinal measures. New items added included new questions on gambling, use of e-cigarettes, illicit drug use, gender identity, generalised anxiety, relationship quality, individual income, COVID-19 impact and natural disaster impact. Release 3.0 is the most recent data release and offers General Release and Restricted Release and linked MBS and PBS datasets
Replication Data for: The role of conflict framing and social identity in public opinion about land use change: An experimental test in the Australian context
No full textThis data set is available for replication and/or new use of the data analysed in Colvin et al. (2020). The study collected data on public opinion (levels of support or opposition) about 12 fictitious land use change proposals from a large, quota sample of the Australian public (n = 1,147). The 12 land use change proposals were across mining, conservation, farming, and fishing. All scenarios were presented in three conditions: no conflict (neutral description), some conflict (conflict framing), and high conflict (conflict framing including the identity of the groups engaged in the conflict). Each participant was randomly allocated to one of the three conditions. To each land use change scenario, participants responded with how much they would support or oppose the land use change proposal (scale of −10 to 10) and how much conflict they felt was associated with the proposal (scale of 0 to 10). We also measured the level of identification with the relevant land use change sectors (miners, environmentalists, farmers, and fishers) and the four major Australian political parties (Liberal Party, Labor Party, The Greens, and The Nationals) using a pictorial identity elicitation tool (adapted from Schubert and Otten 2002 in Self and Identity) to assess whether identification with groups would predict polarisation. A measure of decision‐making style was included to account for different ways of processing information, that is, how much information people seek when making decisions, along with general demographic questions.
