Details

This dataset includes a circular outcome extracted from the Basic Human Values scale. Note that the extraction of a single circular value as the most salient human value is somewhat of an oversimplification from a theoretical perspective. It is given here because it is nevertheless meaningful as well as useful for illustration purposes.

In addition to the circular outcome, some covariates are included. For further details on the variables included, see the ESS documentation.
