Replication Data for: A partial micro-foundation for the "two-worlds" theory of morality policy making. Evidence from Germanyhttps://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/EOSKCFArzheimer, KaiHarvard Dataverse2023-06-122023-06-12T08:33:04ZThese files are for replicating the findings from my manuscript 'A partial micro-foundation for the "two-worlds" theory of morality policy making' There are four files included: - replication.inp is a syntax file for MPlus 8 - model.dat is the data set to be analysed - robustness.dat has an additional variable recording attitudes on inflation - robustness.inp additionally models attitudes on inflation They are intended for re-running the analysis in MPlus 8. The original survey data were collected by Infratest in 2016 using a multi-state probability design. The variables gew_pid (weight), spoint (sampling point), and region are required to model the complex sampling design in MPlus. Socio-demographic controls include gender (male=1), dummies for medium and high levels of formal education (educat2 and educat 3), age (with dummies agecat2= 36-65 and agecat3= 66-), and ost (duplicated from region). Attitudinal variables include partyid (see lines 16-21) in the syntax file, policy preferences (genetherapy, abortion, stemcells, embryo), and the variables for measuring political secularism (r1-r5). Both the preference and the secularism items are documented in the appendix to the manuscript. On my i7-4790 PC, estimation took 6 seconds and 74 iterations. There was no indication of convergence problems. The robustness check does not substantially alter any coefficients from the original model and shows that fighting inflation is not seen as a morality issue by the respondents.Social SciencesPGD, ART, Germany, Attitudes, morality issuesA partial micro-foundation for the "two-worlds" theory of morality policy making.
