The ManyDogs 1 study is the first multi-site collaborative study of dogs' responses to human pointing. It addressed whether dogs perceive the gesture as socially communicative and are therefore more likely to follow the point when it is paired with additional social signals (ManyDogs Project, et al., 2023b). Researchers from 20 research sites across eight countries collected data from 704 dogs. Here, we present not only the behavior data on the dogs' responses to experimental pointing conditions but also guardian responses to survey questions, including the Canine Behavior and Research Questionnaire (C-BARQ, Hsu and Serpell, 2003). This dataset allows for assessing associations among C-BARQ measures as well as connections to the experimental task data, research site metadata, and other dog and guardian characteristic data.

The special collection "Data for Psychological Research on COVID-19" presents selected datasets collected during the COVID-19 pandemic. In selecting the data papers, care was taken to ensure that the described datasets not only represent the full range of psychological topics addressed during the pandemic but also reflect its global nature, in that diverse nationalities were included in the investigated samples. As these datasets are shared according to the FAIR Principles (Wilkinson et al., 2016), they are findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable. The special collection comprises 12 data papers presenting quantitative studies on the impact of COVID-19 on various psychological constructs, including socio-political attitudes, beliefs in conspiracy theories, emotional reactions, and control behaviour.

This article introduces the data from the Values in Crisis project conducted in Germany and the United Kingdom. The project seized the COVID-19 pandemic as a natural experiment to investigate whether, how and to what extent people's moral values change as a result of a disruptive event of massive order and global scale. An online panel survey measured individuals' experiences with COVID-19, moral values, personality traits and social orientations at three different stages throughout the pandemic: at its onset (Wave 1: April-May 2020), one year later amidst the pandemic (Wave 2: February-March 2021), and two years later towards its end (Wave 3: February-April 2022). The samples for Wave 1 were drawn using quota sampling along gender, age group, level of education, and country region for the population aged 16 and above in Germany (N_DE,W1 = 2,005), and 18 and above in the UK (N_UK,W1 = 2,033). The samples for Wave 2 consist of re-contacted participants at a retention rate of 63.99% for Germany (N_DE,W1-2 = 1,283) and 56.57% for the UK (N_UK,W1-2 = 1,150). The samples for Wave 3 comprise of re-contacted participants at a retention rate of 43.74% in Germany (N_DE,W1-3 = 877) and 37.73% in the UK (N_UK,W1-3 = 767) as well as newly recruited participants (N_DE,W3 = 381, N_UK,W3 = 461). The data can be used for various secondary analyses on the topics covered in the survey.

In recent years, there has been a growing emphasis on the importance of open data and data sharing in scientific research (Nosek et al., 2015; van der Zee & Reich, 2018). However, in the educational field, access to FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable) data remains a significant challenge (Wilkinson et al., 2016). This special collection addresses this challenge by highlighting psychological data in educational research and showcasing examples of data that have been shared and made available to the scientific community in accordance with FAIR principles. With this special collection, we aim to explicitly encourage the use of shared research data for individual research projects.

The Parental Investment in Children's Education (PICE) study focuses on Switzerland and investigates parental strategies, resources, and aspirations and how they shape their children's educational pathways. It contrasts families with a migration background to those without. PICE is a mixed-methods add-on-study of TREE (Transitions from Education to Employment). Within PICE one interview with young adults (N = 73, around age 20) and two interviews with one of their parents (N = 50) were conducted. The data are available for scientific analyses via SWISSUbase. They have reuse potential for analyses on parental investments, migration biographies as well as for methodological research on mixed methods.
