Summary of Analytical Decisions for Swedish Student Stress Contagion Study

9,240 model specifications from a multiverse analysis investigating school-related stress contagion among Swedish secondary school students. The dataset, 9.5 KB in size, was created by Björn Högberg and last updated on May 4, 2026. It contains results from systematically varying statistical models, stress measurements, and sample restrictions to test the robustness of stress contagion effects.

Use Cases

• Assessing the robustness of social contagion effects based on the systematic variation of methodological choices described.
• Comparing results from different statistical models (e.g., fixed effects, lagged dependent variable) as documented in the study.
• Analyzing the impact of operationalizing a continuous variable (stress) as dichotomous on effect estimates.
• Examining how sample restrictions and control variable choices influence quantitative findings in panel data.

Strengths

• Systematic multiverse analysis covering 9,240 distinct model specifications.
• Panel data from two cohorts of Swedish secondary school students with specific age demographics (Mage wave 1 = 13.0).
• Openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0, facilitating reuse and verification.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small (9.5 KB), indicating it likely contains summary results, not the underlying raw survey data.
