This guide provides an introduction to data sets and offers resources for locating and using data sets for secondary analysis.

Data sets are collections of empirical data derived from research studies. A variety of data sets are available for secondary analysis to support research in psychology and related disciplines, and a variety of tools are available for locating data sets that meet specific research needs.


We invite you to explore this guide using the side navigation to learn more about data sets and related resources that are available for you to use in your work at PAU. These data sets and related resources are provided by the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR), through a subscription provided courtesy of the PAU Library; by recommended governmental and organizational sources that offer free access to their data; and by a variety of free sources that can be located individually by searching vetted data repositories.
