Members and advisors,
Below are files produced by Psi Beta’s annual national research studies. The files can be used for hypothesis testing research. Also, advisors can use the files for teaching purposes. For each study, you can download the study overview, a copy of the online questionnaire used to collect data from participants, the cleaned data files (SPSS and Excel), and a codebook. Because the data files represent archived data and participant identity has been removed, you are welcome to use these files for chapter research projects. IRB approval is not necessary because you’ll be conducting an archival study, and not directly gathering data from human participants. FYI, all studies were IRB approved prior to the collection of data.
