„Search and Stream“ Data Donation Study linking to the ISSP 2024 - Data file for on-site use

Target persons were randomly assigned to one of two study groups: one group was invited to donate their Google Search data, and the other to donate their Spotify streaming data. In addition, participants could complete a short accompanying survey that, among other topics, collected information on their experience with the data donation process and their hypothetical willingness to donate data from various online platforms.

In the Google Search group, the dataset includes search terms used, titles and URLs of clicked search results, and corresponding timestamps (rounded to the nearest hour) covering the previous 365 days. In the Spotify group, the dataset contains information on music tracks and podcasts from the previous 365 days, as well as artists and podcasts saved in the Spotify library. For streaming history entries, the data include the names of artists or podcasts, titles of songs or episodes, timestamps (rounded to the nearest hour), and listening duration measured in minutes.
