This wave of the Standard Eurobarometer was collected during the COVID-19 pandemic. This necessitated a number of adjustments to the data collection process. Please consult the information referring to this in the Technical Specifications in the basic questionnaire.
Modules QA to QD in the standard Eurobarometer context and largely replicating questions asked in the context of Eurobarometer 92.3 and Eurobarometer 91.5.
Please note that the absence of several question numbers in the questionnaires and the dataset is intended. In addition, the main questionnaire variable names in the dataset diverge from those assigned in the questionnaire. The file “ZA7649_Numbering_Mapping.pdf” available via “Other documents” describes the translation of question numbers in the questionnaire into variable names in the dataset.
The variable names of the standard demography variables have been changed according to the usual Eurobarometer nomenclature.
