In 2015, we launched the data collection on our international colour-emotion association survey. The data is collected online (https://www2.unil.ch/onlinepsylab/colour/main.php). We invite participants to complete the survey in their native language. At the end of 2017, we had translated and back-translated the survey into 37 languages. Additional translations are ongoing or are waiting for opportunities (new collaborators). For each country or language group within a country, we aim for complete data from about 100 participants, roughly equally distributed between three age ranges (18-30 years; 31-50 years; > 50 years). Also, we do not treat the data set without having at least 25 valid responses in each age group. Thus, we treat each sample when these conditions are met. On the current webpage, we only publish data of completed countries. We here use country of origin (not country of residence) as variable to group participants into discrete clusters per country. Different groupings can be obtained from the complete dataset.

The RNCw-Data Set comprises multiple variables relating to the role of national identity and of religion in the national constitutions of 189 countries worldwide. These variables were content-coded from those articles in the constitution texts that refer directly and explicitly to 'religion' and 'nation'.
Countries covered in the data set needed to both be officially recognized by the UN and have a written, single-document constitution in order to be included. The countries not included (for different reasons throughout the list) are: Canada, Congo, Israel, Kosovo, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, San Marino, Saudi Arabia, South Sudan, Sudan, Taiwan and the United Kingdom.
The most recent text versions of constitutions considered here where those of the end of 2016, i.e., we are looking at a snapshot of the included constitutions as the stood in 2016. The analysed constitution texts were all pulled from constituteproject.org, which provided us with the English translations for all countries (except Congo, which is not available in English and thus was excluded from our data set).
We present a data set on authoritarian regimes' claims to legitimacy that is based on leading experts' assessments of 98 states for the period 1991–2010. The experts assessed these regimes on the basis of six conceptually distinguishable but interlinked claims to legitimacy – namely (1) foundational myth, (2) ideology, (3) personalism, (4) international engagement, (5) procedural mechanisms and (6) performance. For the survey, we contacted approximately 800 renowned international and local experts. They were selected on the basis of their publication records, their local expertise and their work for high-quality country-based indices, research institutes, and/or high-profile think tanks. 273 online questionnaires were completed. We collected expert assessments for the most recent non-democratic regime (as of 2013, the year of assessment). The survey comprised questions covering the strength of a regime's six legitimation strategies, based on a six-point scale ranging from 0-5. In addition, the dataset includes information regarding the number of experts per country and the experts' average confidence in answering the questions on the respective country.

The GSRE 1.0 dataset is based on recently released historical documents from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and improves the coverage and accuracy of state budget data for most authoritarian regimes and some democracies since the end of World War II. The GSRE dataset includes 39 unique indicators covering major aspects of state finance for 161 countries between 1946 and 2006.
