1	items_ordered_pisa12_us_vignette

An object of class matrix (inherits from array) with 3075 rows and 12 columns.

Obtained from the PISA 2012 questionnaire responses given to 15-year olds, we selected 12 items under three vignettes and four item stems to measure problem-solving strategies applied by students.

Vignette (a):
- Suppose that you have been sending text messages from your mobile phone for several weeks.Today, however, you can’t send text messages. You want to try to solve the problem.
  - ST96Q01: I press every button possible to find out what is wrong.
  - ST96Q02: I think about what might have caused the problem and what I can do to solve it.
  - ST96Q03: I read the manual.
  - ST96Q05: I ask a friend for help.
Vignette (b):
- Suppose that you are planning a trip to the zoo with your brother. You don’t know which route to take to get there.
  - ST101Q01: I read the zoo brochure to see if it says how to get there.
  - ST101Q02: I study a map and work out the best route.
  - ST101Q03: I leave it to my brother to worry about how to get there.
  - ST101Q05: I know roughly where it is, so I suggest we just start driving.
Vignette (c):
- Suppose that you arrive at the train station. There is a ticket machine that you have never used before. You want to buy a ticket.
  - ST104Q01: I check how similar it is to other ticket machines I have used.
  - ST104Q04: I try out all the buttons to see what happens.
  - ST104Q05: I ask someone for help.
  - ST104Q06: I try to find a ticket office at the station to buy a ticket.

All items were reverse-coded such that responses categories begin with negative responses at 0 and go to 3 for a positive responses.

0: I would definitely not do this.
1: I would probably not do this.
2: I would probably do this.
3: I would definitely do this.
