The Digitized Archival Document Trustworthiness Scale Study Dataset and Associated Files

Abstract

This package contains the data and associated analyses for a study which built, tested, and assessed a scale for measuring genealogists' perceptions of trustworthiness for digitized genealogical records, including digitized marriage, death, and birth records. The study participants were genealogists who frequently utilize documents housed in the Washington State Digital Archives (WADA).The four files in this package include: 1) the dataset [size = 393 KB] that was used to perform the statistical analyses in SPSS 23.0, 2) the output [size = 1.3 MB] of the analysis in Microsoft Word format, 3) the output [size = 49 KB] of the analysis in SPSS format, and 4) the syntax file [size = 910 Bytes] that can be used to replicate the analyses in SPSS. The dataset is the raw/unanalyzed data, both output files are the same processed/analyzed data in two different file formats, and the syntax file lists the code that was used to perform the analyses.
