This project will determine the importance of accounting for households, geographical groups and social networks in the design, estimation and analysis of social statistics. Criteria indicating when it is necessary to allow for the various sources of dependency between people will be identified, as well as methods to unravel the different sources. Moreover, statistical models will be formulated that reflect these dependencies, and these models will then be applied to real and simulated data. The implications for the design of social surveys will be determined and strategies will be suggested for future collection of data of this nature. Main objectives are thus to: 1) Develop and apply statistical models, enabling the assessment of individual, household, neighbourhood and network variations in social/health outcomes. 2) Determine the impact of ignoring different types of association between people in the analysis of social data. 3) Demonstrate how data can be combined in this context. 4) Identify/illustrate the interaction between the neighbourhood and the social network. 5) Increase understanding of the role of each level through simulation studies to augment analysis of real data. 6) Recommend strategies for the routine collection of household, network and geographical data given the practicalities of sampling and confidentiality considerations.

Data collected on persons considered a long-term missing person (LTMP) as at 19 May 2020. Persons included were listed as LTMP on National Missing Persons Coordination Centre (NMPCC) and Australian Missing Person Register (AMPR) websites on 19 May 2020. Searches were carried out using the LTMP’s name including variations and/or alternate names used or reported as used by that individual. This data was collected to determine if publicly available data could be gathered for the purposes of creating a dataset. This dataset was analysed to establish if such a dataset could be compared to results from existing studies and if so where those results similar or different. Having such a dataset created from publicly available data provided an additional avenue for datasets as opposed to relying only on stakeholder's information. Data was collected from Coroner's reports, law enforcement media releases (including archived) NMPCC and/or AMPR, Trove – online library of current and historical information obtained from universities, museums, galleries, and archives, crime stoppers, ancestry records, cemetery records/images, news/media reports, social network/media platforms i.e., LinkedIn, Facebook, and random ad hoc websites/pages.

Software/equipment used to create/collect the data: Equipment Computer: DELL, System Name R6SR05D, Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6300U CPU @ 2.40 GHz, 16.0 GB RAM, Windows 10 Pro installed.

Software/equipment used to manipulate/analyse the data: Software: Excel Microsoft 365 (Version 2308)

This is the repository concerning the interview connected to the above study, 12 interviews carried out with censored, marginalised content creators in the UK, Ireland, Italy, Australia and the USA.The linked study delves into communications dynamics between social media platforms and users as they negotiate the complexities of governance policies. Using Meta and TikTok as case studies, we reveal that gaslighting - traditionally associated with relationship abuse where one partner undermines the validity of the other's experience - is a pervasive platforms’ communications strategy, manifesting in numerous instances where automated and human platform communications have directly contradicted users' experiences, evidence, and research. We analyse 36 diverse interview datasets and six public platform responses to governance issues, highlighting the systemic nature of this phenomenon within digital spaces. We therefore broaden the scholarly understanding of platform gaslighting by delving beyond shadowbanning and the isolated platform-to-user dialogue to explore a wider range of communications concerning governance. Our participants’ experiences show that gaslighting can be used to highlight corporate power imbalances in platform-user interactions, especially in situations of opaque governance following not just shadowbanning, but also de-platforming on the back of malicious flagging. Our dataset draws from seemingly disparate groups who share moderation experiences: Jewish creators engaged in combating antisemitism, Palestinian creators advocating for human rights, and sex-positive creators, whose expertise and stories are dismissed and belittled by platforms as a form of damage control in the face of adverse governance. We demonstrate how the dismissal or minimization of participants’ traumatic experiences by platforms' automated processes and human teams is weaponized to inflict epistemic injustice, consolidate power, and evade accountability
