SMARVUS database of stats students and many of their feelings and cognitions about stats

on

You all. Many people, but mostly Jenny Terry and Andy Fields, but also a number of my Twitter mutuals, collected a crap ton of data from statistics students worldwide. 

See:

This large, international dataset contains survey responses from N = 12,570 students from 100 universities in 35 countries, collected in 21 languages. We measured anxieties (statistics, mathematics, test, trait, social interaction, performance, creativity, intolerance of uncertainty, and fear of negative evaluation), self-efficacy, persistence, and the cognitive reflection test, and collected demographics, previous mathematics grades, self-reported and official statistics grades, and statistics module details. Data reuse potential is broad, including testing links between anxieties and statistics/mathematics education factors, and examining instruments’ psychometric properties across different languages and contexts. Note that the pre-registration can be found here: https://osf.io/xs5wf.

Here is the article describing the project. The data is embargoed until October 2024, but you can contact the corresponding authors if you would like early access. Also, they have tons and tons of documentation available at OSF. So you can come up with your own hypotheses and test them. Which is very, very generous.
