Abstract

Study 1 is a think-aloud study among 60 VAA users. The SPSS datafile lists the questions and the verbalizations coresponding to comprehension problems and their categorization. Study 2 is an analysis of all answers provided by over 350,000 respondents during the Municipal Elections of 2014. These data are owned by VAA developer Kieskompas and therefore they have not been uplloaded. In the article we predict the answers based on linguistic characteristics of the VAA questions. I have uploaded the categorization of the 1020 questions.
