Description

This dataset includes 3 files:

- correction_survey_questionnaire.docx: This file contains the full questionnaire used for the survey, as it was presented to the participants via Qualtrics. It includes the landing page and all closed-ended and open-ended questions. No personal data has been collected. The answers were completely anonymous, they were not linked to any IP address, or email address. The survey has been registered at Université Grenoble-Alpes, France (in charge of the Work Package to which this study relates in the NanoBubbles project). 

- quanti-answers.csv: This CSV file contains the raw quantitative data, corresponding to the participants' answers to the closed-ended questions (e.g., multiple-choice, Likert scales). Each row represents a respondent, and each column represents a question (including sub-questions).

- quali-answers-coded.csv: This CSV file contains the qualitative data (i.e., verbatims), corresponding to the textual answers from the open-ended questions. The data has been anonymized to protect the confidentiality of the persons mentioned by some respondents; any potentially identifying information has been removed. Each answer has been given a short ID (ID_verbatim_short) used in the article to easily refer to the verbatim being cited. A column (#Words) is dedicated to the word count. Each comment has been manually coded for analysis by one coder and is available in the CODE-h1 column.
