Data for: "Beyond Regions and Ideology: Using Cultural Theory to Explain Risk Perception in Canada"

This represents the most comprehensive attempt to adapt and apply Cultural Theory to explain risk perception in Canada. The project was the initiative of researchers at Wilfrid Laurier University and the Université de Montréal.

The researchers commissioned a large (n=5087) cross-sectional survey drawn from Léger Marketing's representative panel of Canadians. We asked survey respondents questions about their perceptions of risk, policy preferences, demographic questions and other political variables (e.g. party identification, self-reported ideology). The data here include only the subset of variables necessary to replicate the findings in Kiss, Montpetit and Lachapelle 2020.
