If you teach or conduct research in a social science subject or use social science methods, we would like to invite you to use the data and findings from FReDA.
Teachers can request data access and sign a user contract with GESIS – Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences. Once completed, you will receive full data access to the scientific use files.
Students also have the opportunity to work and conduct research with the FReDA data, for example within the context of their final thesis. They can request data access via their teacher. Once they have signed a user contract with GESIS, they will also receive data access to the dataset published and anonymised for researchers.
If you are interested in accessing the FReDA data, please contact: GESIS – Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences E-mail: support.freda@gesis.org
The three-day "FReDA Autumn School 2024" workshop at the University of Mainz offers a practical introduction to working with FReDA datasets.

How are the data collected in FReDA? You can find detailed information on the study’s samples, contents and survey modes here.
Numerous researchers took the opportunity to submit their own research questions or modules to FReDA, which will be included in the autumn survey of the fifth wave in 2025.
Every three years, FReDA is part of the Generations and Gender Survey (GGS). This makes international comparative analyses possible.
FReDA continues the surveys of the pairfam study so that these cohorts can also continue to be analysed.
FReDA also asks the partners of all anchor persons to participate in the study. This makes dyadic analyses possible.
Beginning in 2022, the sample from the German Family Panel pairfam will be part of the FReDA study. The surveying of the pairfam cohort can continue.
