The American Mosaic Project is a multiyear, multi-method study of the bases of solidarity and diversity in American life. The principal investigators of this project are Doug Hartmann, Penny Edgell and Joseph Gerteis at the "https://twin-cities.umn.edu/" Target="_blank">University of Minnesota. The survey portion of the project consists of a random-digit-dial telephone survey (N=2,081) conducted during the summer of 2003 by the "https://uwsc.wisc.edu/" Target="_blank">University of Wisconsin Survey Center. The survey was designed to gather data on attitudes about race, religion, politics and American identity as well as demographic information and social networks.

This dataset contains household-level production data for Kedougou, Senegal. It was generated through a 2010 survey of 127 households across 38 villages in the region. Production data was collected at the household level. Quantitative reports of amounts produced for non-staple crops (fruits, vegetables, meat, and dairy) were not reliable because of difficulty recalling amounts produced and exchanged of highly seasonal and marginal food items. Quantitative production data was collected for fonio, maize, millet, peanuts, potatoes, rice, and taro. Qualitative, presence-absence data were collected for bissap, jakatu, cabbage, cassava, okra, and cowpea.

This data collection contains the results of a sample survey of University of Michigan (U-M), Ann Arbor, faculty, staff, and students meant to represent the full diversity of the community and to capture information and perceptions on demographics, climate, institutional commitment and inclusive and equitable treatment, departmental norms, intergroup interactions, and discrimination. With input from committees of students, faculty, and staff, the survey instrument was developed collaboratively by the U-M Office of the Provost, U-M's Survey Research Center, and administered by SoundRocket, an external social science survey research company. The instrument was delivered as a web survey, and several notifications and reminders were used to encourage completion, as well as an incentive. These notifications and reminders were delivered in phases. Variables in the collection describe age, gender and gender identity, race/ethnicity, school/department/unit, religious affiliation, disability status, campus safety, rating of campus climate, intergroup interaction, discriminatory events, composite rating scores, and more.

This dataset contains the original responses to a questionaire run in 2016 within the DLDP project about the use and usability of 4 European regional and minority languages on digital media and devices: namely Basque, Breton, Karelian and Sardinian (See http://www.dldp.eu/content/survey-digital-fitness).

The majority of questions were closed questions where respondents had to tick a box, occasionally multiple choice was allowed. A few questions required free text provision. The questionnaire was designed using 'Google Forms' and was run on the same platform in the summer 2016.

The results of the survey are brielfly presented in the DLDP reports available here: http://www.dldp.eu/content/reports-digital-language-diversity-europe

This survey was conducted among residents of the South (another sample of Non Southern states is also included) on many topics including race relations, opportunities for minorities, local communities, racial diversity, and inter-racial marriages and adoption. Demographic data include education, religious affiliation, marital status, employment status, income, race, household composition, party affiliation, political ideology,

Institutions of higher education are increasingly looking for strategies to assess diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). An alumni survey is a valuable tool for identifying actionable strategies to create a supportive environment for Black students, faculty, and staff, and increase Black student’s success. As an example, our survey’s findings underscored the need for improvements in 1) anti-bias training, 2) academic advising, 3) diversity education in the coursework, 4) hiring and retaining Black faculty, and 5) community organizations for BIPOC students. We recommend the use of an alumni survey to obtain an assessment of campus climate and best strategies for DEI.

This survey includes questions about the public's views about religious diversity, such as attitudes toward and contact with Muslims, Hindus, and Buddhists. The survey was designed by Robert Wuthnow at Princeton University in conjunction with the Responding to Diversity Project sponsored by the Lilly Endowment. The survey also includes questions regarding religious beliefs and practices, and opinions concerning terrorism, interreligious understanding, and national identity. (Religion and Diversity Codebook, Princeton University, Department of Sociology, 2003).

According to an August 2024 survey, **** percent of U.S. adults stated that Black and African Americans in TV shows and movies were shown in a very positive way. Meanwhile, the share of respondents thinking the same about white Americans was higher, at ** percent.

The USAID Power Africa Nigeria Power Sector Program (2018-2024) was Power Africa’s signature initiative in Nigeria, supporting comprehensive power sector reform, a strengthened enabling environment, and increased private sector investment to improve Nigeria’s access to affordable, reliable power. Power Africa is a U.S. Government-led partnership that harnesses the collective resources of public and private sector partners to double access to electricity in sub-Saharan Africa. The dataset originated from PA-NPSP research and captured information collected through interviews, surveys, and policy analyses conducted from 2020 to 2022 across various regions of Nigeria. It provides data on the participation of socially excluded groups—such as women, people with disabilities, and marginalized communities—within the power sector. Data collection focused on three primary areas: the legal, policy, and regulatory frameworks that govern the sector; the diversity and inclusion practices within its workforce; and the accessibility of power services to vulnerable populations. The dataset is comprehensive, providing both quantitative and qualitative data that highlight the disparities in access to electricity, workforce representation, and the application of regulatory standards. It serves as a valuable resource for policymakers, stakeholders, and researchers aiming to develop strategies for fostering greater social inclusion and diversity within Nigeria’s power sector.

In a survey conducted in May 2019 in the United States, 61 percent of respondents said they believed in the diversity in advertising was important, while 15 percent were of the opinion that it showing diversity in ads was not important.

Abstract: The term “diversity,” though widely used, can mean different things. Diversity can refer to heterogeneity, i.e., the distribution of people across groups, or to the representation of specific minority groups. We use a conjoint experiment with a race-balanced, national sample to uncover which properties— heterogeneity or minority representation—Americans use to evaluate how racially diverse a neighborhood is and whether this varies by participants’ race. We show that perceived diversity is strongly associated with heterogeneity. This association is stronger for Whites than for Blacks, Latinos, or Asians. In addition, Blacks, Latinos, and Asians view neighborhoods where their own group is largest as more diverse. Whites vary in their tendency to associate diversity with representation, and Whites who report conservative stances on diversity- related policy issues view predominately White neighborhoods as more diverse than predominately Black neighborhoods. People can agree that diversity is desirable while disagreeing on what makes a community diverse.

Picoplankton (bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotic organisms < 3.0 micron) surveys conducted in collaboration with the U.S. Antarctic Marine Living Resources (AMLR) field research program aimed to study the pelagic ecosystem during month-long winter research cruises in the South Shetland Islands, Scotia Sea and the NW Weddell Sea regions in August, 2012, 2013, and 2014. This inter-annual study on the winter pelagic ecosystem follows a 25-year time series program studying austral summer waters, though is the first survey to also include the characterization of the picoplankton in this study area.

The primary goal of the AMLR winter cruise was to establish the ecological importance of winter processes and plankton distributons particularly as related to sea ice and to capture the hydrography and winter distributions of krill for comparisons with summer conditions over this long times series study. The winter time study will help determine how the template for ecological success is set up for summertime production across all trophic levels.

The picoplankton research will improve the understanding of winter distributions and provide sample collection opportunities for diversity and biogeochemical studies to create an integrated ecosystem picture that will be developed with the NOAA AMLR group. In particular, this effort will extend the geographic coverage of winter picoplankton in the South Shetland Islands region, both on and off the continental slope. This is important to test hypotheses concerning high latitude winter processes that were observed in coastal Antarctic Peninsula waters suggesting the relative importance of chemolithoautotrophy is a key winter-time metabolic process.

According to a June 2020 survey results, 42 percent of responding Americans wanted to see more racial diversity in advertising. At the same time, 30 percent of survey participants said they did not care if there was racial diversity in ads.

This dataset describes primary biodiversity data pertaining to pelagic diversity from the Bay of Toliara, Madagascar. The data is assembled in the framework of a specialized training program for students from Madagascar and its surrounding region (Pole de Formation Spécialisee, Institut Halieutique et des Sciences de la Mer). Additional data will be added along the years.

The goal of the survey was to examine the determinants and effects of corporate innovations in the realms of harassment prevention and workforce diversity. Data come from a retrospective survey with a stratified random national sample of establishments drawn from the 1999 EEO1 files, matched with confidential government data from EEO1 reports on the workforce composition of surveyed establishments. These confidential data can be obtained through an Intergovernmental Personnel Act (IPA) agreement. The sample was stratified by industry (sampling equally from food, chemicals, computer equipment, transportation equipment, wholesale trade, retail trade, insurance, business services, and health services); by size (selecting 35% of the establishments with fewer than 500 employees in 1999); and by "age" in the EEO-1 dataset (we chose half of the sample from establishments that had been in the dataset since at least 1980, and half from those that had been in the dataset since at least 1992). Surveys were conducted with human resources managers or general managers, who were asked about the adoption of a list of personnel policies and programs and the years of adoption. The survey was conducted in 2002 by the Princeton University Survey Research Center. Additional information about the survey can be found in the Supporting Information for the PNAS article related to these data. Full citation information will be updated when it becomes available.
