Survey Experiment on Non-Repressive State Responses to Protest in Argentina

A survey experiment conducted in Argentina by Deren Onursal, investigating the psychological and behavioral effects of non-repressive state actions on protest participants. The dataset supports the study's findings that state responses like ignoring or accommodating dissent influence emotions such as anger and hope, which subsequently affect future protest willingness. The data was last updated on April 27, 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the causal relationship between state responses and protest participation based on the described experimental design.
• Modeling the mediating role of emotions like anger and hope in protest dynamics as described in the study.
• Comparing the effects of different non-repressive responses (ignoring, partial accommodation, full accommodation) on future mobilization.

Strengths

• Data is derived from a controlled survey experiment, which suggests a structured design for causal inference.
• The study focuses on an underexplored area of political science: non-repressive state responses to protest.
• Findings are grounded in a specific geographic context, Argentina.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
• The dataset's generalizability may be limited by its single-country (Argentina) focus.
