Australian Election Study, 2022
No full textThe 2022 AES is the thirteenth in a series of surveys beginning in 1987, timed to coincide with Australian Federal elections. The series builds on the 1967, 1969, and 1979 Australian Political Attitudes Surveys. The AES aims to provide a long-term perspective on the political attitudes and behaviours of Australians and investigate the changing social bases of Australian politics as the economy and society modernise and change character. In addition to these long-term goals, the AES examines the specific political issues prevalent in the 2022 Federal election and assesses their importance in determining the election result. The 2022 AES is the fifth in the series to provide the option of completing the survey via hardcopy or online. Address-based sampling continues to be used to recruit members of the Australian public to participate in a sequential mixed-mode survey (push-to-web followed by hard copy completion).The 2022 AES is the latest in a long-term series of studies of Australian politics and elections. Itexamines important issues such as changing support for political parties, the role of the party leadersand the importance of political issues like the economy and the environment.

2014 New Zealand Election Study
No full textThe general election was held on 20 September, 2014. Its outcome was the re-election of a National Party-led government for a third term.
We generated new knowledge about relationships between psychological personality types and political behaviour, particularly for participation and civic engagement. We also tested the extent to which individuals' aspirations for economic advancement and their perceptions of job security or insecurity affect voting choices and turnout.
The study of personality types and mass political behaviour is rare in political science and psychology but is now increasing, and was included in NZES2014. While there is some evidence that personality may shape political inclinations, our main interest is in the correlates of personality types with political participation, and possible interactions with gender.
Those who identify a 'politics of aspiration' suggest that anticipations of economic advancement by individuals' own efforts could shape their political behaviour. This may be one reason why the association of income with political choice is often weak: people relate to their anticipations of future rather than present income. Yet aspirational effects may be offset by factors such as low job security. Drawing on a new measure of wealth and assets we can test these conjectures. Again, this plays into the analysis of turnout as lower incomes, and the lack of wealth and assets tend to be associated with failure to vote.

2005 New Zealand Election Study
No full textThe 2005 NZES had two main elements. The first was the study’s standard post-election survey, with questionnaires sent by post to several thousand New Zealanders. The second was more experimental, and took place on the Internet only, in two waves, one immediately before the election and another after the final results were announced. Unlike most Internet surveys, this was based on a random sample of enrolled voters, to whom postcards were sent during the final week of the campaign. The first-wave response rate was just over 10%, but it reflected surprisingly well the age and gender breakdown of the electorate.

Footprints in Time: The Longitudinal Study of Indigenous Children, Release 12 (Waves 1-12)
No full textThe Longitudinal Study of Indigenous Children (LSIC) follows the development of up to 1,759 Indigenous children and their families across urban, regional and remote Australia. It is one of the largest longitudinal studies of Indigenous people worldwide. LSIC aims to improve understanding of the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, their families and communities to inform better policy and program development. The study collects information about child and parent health, childhood education, family relationships, culture and Community, housing, life stressors, parental education, parenting, employment and income, attitudes and aspirations. It includes two groups of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander children who were aged 6 to 24 months (B cohort) and 3.5-5 years (K cohort) when the study began in 2008. Data is primarily collected via annual face-to-face interviews with Indigenous interviewers. PLEASE NOTE that this release of LSIC is now superseded and is available and is available by request for approved training courses only.

The Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health: 1946-51 cohort Core Data Release, Survey 9 data, 2019
No full textThe Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health (ALSWH) is a longitudinal population-based survey, first funded in 1995, which examines the health of over 57,000 Australian women. The project was designed to explore factors that influence health among women who are broadly representative of the entire Australian population. ALSWH goes beyond a narrow perspective that equates women's health with reproductive and sexual health, and takes a comprehensive view of all aspects of health throughout women's lifespan. The first survey was conducted in 1996, and covered three groups, the 1973-1978 cohort, the 1946-1951 cohort, and the 1921-1926 cohort. In 2013, a new cohort of young women, aged 18-23 and known as the 1989-95 cohort, were recruited. Each cohort receives different questionnaires, which vary in the types of questions asked, but in essence cover issues regarding overall physical and emotional health, use of health services, education and employment status, drug and/or alcohol use, diet, exercise, and family situation. A detailed description of the background, aims, themes, methods and progress of the study is given on the project web page https://www.alswh.org.au/about/. This particular dataset refers to Survey 9 of the 1946-1951 cohort and is a part of the Core Data Release. Some data in this data release were modified to maintain the confidentiality of ALSWH respondents
The Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health: 1989-95 cohort Core Data Release, Survey 6 data, 2018
No full textThe Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health (ALSWH) is a longitudinal population-based survey, first funded in 1995, which examines the health of over 57,000 Australian women. The Study explores factors that influence health among women who are broadly representative of the entire Australian population. ALSWH goes beyond a narrow perspective that equates women's health with reproductive and sexual health, and takes a comprehensive view of all aspects of health throughout women's lifespan. This cohort, women born 1989-95, were recruited in 2013. The cohort is regularly (to date, either annually, or biennially) surveyed via an online questionnaire covering issues regarding overall physical and emotional health, use of health services, education and employment status, drug and/or alcohol use, diet, exercise, and family situation. A detailed description of the background, aims, themes, methods and progress of the study is given on the project web page https://www.alswh.org.au/about/. This particular dataset refers to Survey 6 of the 1989-95 cohort and is a part of the Core Data Release. Some data in this data release were modified to maintain the confidentiality of ALSWH respondents
1905-1993 New Zealand Election Historical Data
No full textThese excel files contain electorate by electorate data for all New Zealand elections between 1905 and 1993. They have been compiled over some years, and should now be free of errors. They include the totals, and both rounds, of the two Second Ballot elections in 1908 and 1911.
Users should note, however, that party labels for early elections were often fluid, and it has proven difficult to make party totals completely consistent with the official data reported in the successive E9 and earlier official results, and with the figures reported in Mackie and Rose's International Almanac of Electoral History. J. O. Wilson's New Zealand Parliamentary Record was used as a further source of data.

The National Elder Abuse Prevalence Study
No full textThe Australian Institute of Family Studies (AIFS) was commissioned by the Australian Government Attorney-General’s Department to conduct a study of the nature of elder abuse and the extent to which it occurs among those in the Australian population aged 65 and over. The study included two cross sectional surveys/datasets. (1) The Survey of Older People (SOP): a survey of 7,000 people aged 65 and over who live in the community (i.e. those who are not in residential aged care settings). The survey will examine experiences of elder abuse among this population.
(2) The Survey of the General Community (SGC): a survey of 3,500 people aged 18–64 years which will focus on knowledge of elder abuse, attitudes to older people and the extent to which participants in the survey provide assistance to older people.
Data was drawn from each survey to better understand the experiences of older Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) people in Australia. This aspect of the research provides insight into the prevalence and characteristics of abuse of older CALD people, as well as the contexts in which the abuse occurs and how their experiences of abuse may differ from the general population
