Perceptions of Addiction in Psychology Students

The current study is a cross-sectional survey to evaluate the illness perception of addiction and its relation with substance use among undergraduate psychology students in the Netherlands. The participants were third-year psychology students (n=308). The IPQ-A was used to evaluate the illness perception of addiction. Substance use was self-reported with a checklist of substances. Differences in perception were analysed between students who use substances and do not use. The relation between substance use (days of use, amount of use, and year of use) and illness perception of addiction was explored. The data set includes the statistic data (the SPSS file) including the analysis (the syntax file), the codebook that describes the study, and the questionnaires (the IPQ-R, IPQ-A and the substances checklist)

How Does Not Responding to Appetitive Stimuli Cause Devaluation: Evaluative Conditioning or Response Inhibition?

In a series of 6 experiments, we examined how not responding to appetitive stimuli causes devaluation. To examine this question, a go/no-go task was employed in which appetitive stimuli were consistently associated with cues to respond (go stimuli), or with cues to not respond (either no-go cues or the absence of cues; no-go stimuli). Change in evaluation of go and no-go stimuli was compared to stimuli not presented in the task (untrained stimuli). Overall, the results suggest that devaluation of appetitive stimuli by not responding to them is the result of response inhibition. In these experiments we recruited a total of 272 participants via the Sona participation system at Radboud University. The experiments were conducted from November 2014 to September 2015. The dataset contains all the measurements from these 6 experiments. The analyses were conducted with SPSS 23

Good Psychometric Properties of the Addiction Version of the Revised Illness Perception Questionnaire for Health Care Professionals

The current study involved 1072 participants from Indonesia and the Netherlands. Participants were healthcare professionals and master students with different educational backgrounds (medical doctors, psychologists, nurses, and social workers; medicine, psychology, educational science respectively). They were recruited from various addiction-training programs in the Netherlands and Indonesia. We adapted the Illness Perception Questionnaire (the IPQ) to the addiction version (the IPQ-A) and evaluate the psychometric properties of the IPQ-A: factor structure, internal consistency, and discriminant validity, when applied to evaluate healthcare professionals’ perceptions of addiction. The data set includes the statistic data (the SPSS files), the codebook that describes the study and the questionnaires: the IPQ-A, IPQ and IPQ-R

An empirical study of the effects of a hermeneutic-communicative curriculum

This data set is part of the following publication: Jetten, M. (2018). Knowledge of interaction styles and dimensions of interpretation in interreligious adult education. An empirical study of the effects of a hermeneutic-communicative curriculum. Radboud University. Münster: LIT Verlag. This book reports on an evaluation study of a curriculum on interreligious dialogue among Christian and Muslims adults in the Netherlands. It was organized as a PhD-project between 2007 and 2013 at the Faculty of Philosophy, Theology and Religious Studies of Radboud University, financed by Stichting Nieuwegen. The primary aim of this research is to explain the contribution of a curriculum to knowledge of interaction styles and hermeneutic distinctions that are used to express and interpret the views on religious phenomena of adherents from different religious traditions. We consider knowledge of communication and interpretation conditional for mutual understanding between adherents of different religious traditions. We refer to this as hermeneutic-communicative learning. The focus of this dissertation is not solely religious phenomena, but the way that participants express and interpret these phenomena. Hence, the research goal of this study is: explaining the contribution of a hermeneutic-communicative curriculum using the method of mediated learning to the acquisition of knowledge of interaction styles and dimensions for interpreting religious phenomena. This study uses a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test, based on two non-equivalent groups (“untreated non-equivalent control group design with pre-test and post-test”, Cook & Campbell 1979, 103-129). To study the effects of participation in our curriculum, we distinguish two research groups, an experimental group that participates in the intervention, and a control group that does not participate. In both groups a pre-test and a post-test is held, respectively before and after the intervention. Our research population are Christian and Muslim adults in the Netherlands who are interested in interreligious meetings. To be able to reliably estimate the characteristics of the research population, we required a sample of at least 400 respondents in total, with 200 participants in the experimental group and 200 in the control group. Regarding the experimental group, we aimed at 20 curriculum locations, each with about twelve participants, making sure that respondent still feel secure to exchange religious beliefs and practices in a personal and informal way. We sought a group distribution of at least a third Christians or a third Muslims at each location. Regarding religion, the relative number of Christians in the control group appeared to be higher than in the experimental group. Therefore, in the analyses, we randomly reduced the number of Christians in the control group by 40%, by deleting the third and fifth of each five Christian respondents in the control group. This resulted in a total number of 260 respondents in the experimental group and 132 respondents in the control group. Part of this research project of Radboud University is the material for an interreligious course. It has been developed for Christian and Muslim adults with interest in interreligious communication. Participants get acquainted with a practical method that eases interreligious dialogue, focused at both enriching one’s own religious identity as well as getting familiar with the religion of the other. Focus is learning to communicate from the personal perspective, applied to substantive themes from Christianity and Islam.

Longitudinal navigation log data on the Radboud University web domain

We have collected the access logs for our university's web domain over a time span of 4.5 years. We now release the pre-processed web server log of a 3-month period for research into user navigation behavior. We preprocessed the data so that only successful GET requests of web pages by non-bot users are kept. The information that is included per entry is: unique user id, timestamp, GET request (URL), status code, the size of the object returned to the client, and the referrer URL. The resulting size of the 3-month collection is 9.6M page visits (190K unique URLs) by 744K unique visitors. The data collection allows for research on, among other things, user navigation, browsing and stopping behavior and web user clustering

Discerning the Good. The practice of decision-making in Dutch Catholic school management teams

This qualitative, explorative study seeks to broaden the scope of normativity in collaborative decision-making in Dutch Catholic school management teams beyond ethical reasoning by the inclusion of reasons that relate to a vision of good education. It introduces the concept of ‘discernment’ as a heuristic for the description of the content and process of decision-making, and thus positions the weighing of reasons with reference to the good at the heart of decision-making. Also it explores other modes than normative modes of reasoning in collaborative decision-making in school management teams. The data were collected through focus group discussions (2 groups) and half-structured interviews (6 respondents). The data were subjected to deductive coding, assigning theory-based codes to data segments. This coding method was completed with inductive coding, introducing new codes when the pre-given codes did not match or qualify certain data segments properly. The data set includes the following files: a readme file that explains the data set, the anonymised data (Atlas.ti files, a XML export and PdfA files of the interviews), the codebook that describes the data, an interview protocol (for the interviews) and the topics lists (for the focus group discussions)

Improved analysis of solar signals for differential reflectivity monitoring

This dataset contains the underlying data that are used in the figures of the article 'Improved analysis of solar signals for differential reflectivity monitoring' published in Atmospheric Measurement Techniques. The Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) operates a network of 10 C-band Doppler weather radars, of which nine radars are polarimetric. Every 15 min the radars perform a 30 12-elevation volume scan between 0.3 and 45◦ elevations, where 6 elevations up to 9◦ are scanned in single–PRF with 570 Hz, and then 6 elevations starting from 2 up to 45◦ in dual–PRF. Every 5 min the first 6 of these 12 elevations are repeated. The dataset contain analyses of so-called 'sunhits' that are detected in the polar volume data produced by the Finnish radars. Datasets are ascii text files where each line represents a datapoint, the content is described in separate 'Readme' files. The data files are best understood when they are read alongside the accompanying article by Huuskonen, Kurri, and Holleman entitled "Improved analysis of solar signals for differential reflectivity monitoring" in Atmos. Meas. Tech., 9, 3183-3192, 2016 (doi:10.5194/amt-9-3183-2016)
