Supplementary file 1_Realistic threats escalating societal conflict: electoral distrust, s

South Korean survey data collected immediately after the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol in 2024–2025. The study examines how perceptions of realistic and symbolic threats from China relate to beliefs about electoral fraud, support for the president, and polarized justice evaluations of martial law and impeachment. The dataset, authored by Yeongjin Yu and shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license, is a 10.2 KB DOCX file.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the relationship between perceived realistic threats and belief in electoral fraud based on survey responses.
• Modeling support for strong leaders based on threat perceptions and justice evaluations mentioned in the description.
• Studying polarization in justice perceptions of political actions like martial law and impeachment across supporter and opponent groups.
• Extending research on political polarization and threat theory to the South Korean context based on the study's findings.

Strengths

• Data is temporally specific, collected immediately after a major political event (President Yoon's impeachment).
• The study is grounded in established theoretical frameworks (Intergroup Threat Theory and Justice Theory).
• License is permissive (CC-BY-4.0), allowing for broad reuse and analysis.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for quantitative analysis.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small (10.2 KB), suggesting limited scope, likely a supplementary document rather than raw survey data.
