Presentation Abstract
One of the major obstacles to doing research on human subjects is undertaking data collection on a large number of people and producing a dataset. This can be very time consuming and costly. This presentation overviews how, on a very tight budget, the Beyond Beliefs study developed their instrument, how it was administered, and produced an enormous quantitative dataset investigating over 90 religious, sociocultural, and behavioral topics with over 700 participants, as well as over 4,000 pages of qualitative data with 160 participants. Cost effective strategies to replicate the study globally will also be discussed. The Beyond Beliefs dataset content will also be overviewed, as using existing datasets is one of the most cost effective ways of producing research quickly. Procedures, etiquette, and limitations of using the Beyond Beliefs dataset and datasets of others in your own research will also be discussed.
