FReDA publishes the partner data from wave 1

After the release of the data set of wave 1 on May 31, 2023, the data of more than 7,200 partners are now also available for analyses. The FReDA dataset thus also provides the scientific community with the option of conducting dyadic studies.

The questions asked of partners predominantly mirror those asked of anchor persons and cover a range of topics, from children's wishes to the division of household labor. This opens up the possibility for dyadic analyses - looking at interactions between the two partners in a partnership. By linking the data of anchor persons and their partners, a more complete picture emerges, which makes it possible to better understand joint decision-making processes in couple relationships.
