Emotional regulation synthetic dataset

Download dataset

This dataset is also embedded within TIDAL as the “demo synthetic data”.

  • Emotional regulation in childhood and emotional symptoms scores, measured by the Strengths & Difficulties Questionnaires (SDQ), across 5 time points between childhoodand adolescence (ages 3 to 14).
  • This dataset contains ~13000 people, based upon data from the Millennium Cohort Study (MCS) participants.
  • You could use this example to look at the impact of poorer emotion regulation at baseline (t1) on later SDQ trajectories using the er_t1_bin variable or you could lookto see how changes in emotion regulation from baseline to the second wave (t2) have a long term impact on SDQ trajetcories using er_bin. You could even adjust thisanalysis by accounting for sex in the analysis using the variable female.
  • There are 3 categorical emotion dysregulation variables one could use to split trajectories by:
    • er_t1_bin , er_t2_bin, er_bin
  • There are 2 continuous emotion dysregulation variables one could use to split trajectories by:
    • er_total_t1 , er_total_t2

Variables (column names):

  • Subject
    • ID of simulated participant.
    • Type: Character
  • sdq_t1, sdq_t2, sdq_t3, sdq_t4, sdq_t5
    • Strengths & Difficulties Questionnaires Emotional Subscale (SDQ-E) scores from 0 to 10 at 5 time points.
    • Type: Numeric
  • age_t1, age_t2, age_t3, age_t4, age_t5
    • Age at corresponding time points for the SDQ variable (years)
    • Type: Numeric
  • Female
    • Female is coded as 1. Male is coded as 0.
    • Type: Categorical
  • er_total_t1
    • Emotional regulation scores from the emotional dysregulation component of the Child Social Behaviour Questionnaire at age 3 years.
    • Type: Numeric
    • Range: 0 to 10
  • er_total_t2
    • Emotional regulation scores from the emotional dysregulation component of the Child Social Behaviour Questionnaire at age 5 years.
    • Type: Numeric
    • Range: 0 to 10
  • er_t1_bin
    • When er_total_t1 is between 0 to 6 er_t1_bin is 0
    • When er_total_t1 is between 7 to 10 er_t1_bin is 1
  • er_t2_bin
    • When er_total_t2 is between 0 to 6 er_t2_bin is 0
    • When er_total_t2 is between 7 to 10 er_t2_bin is 1
  • er_bin
    • 0 = No emotional regulation (ER) problems at er_t1_bin & No ER problems at er_t2_bin
    • 1 = No ER problems at er_t1_bin & Yes ER problems at er_t2_bin
    • 2 = Yes ER problems at er_t1_bin & No ER problems at er_t2_bin
    • 3 = Yes ER problems at er_t1_bin & Yes ER problems at er_t2_bin
