Impute data

Next we impute data. Note that the actual imputation below is deactivated and loaded from memory to save time.

Prep

Determine amount of missingness per respondent per wave.

vars_used <- c("life_sat", "aff_pos_1", "aff_pos_2", "aff_pos_3", "aff_neg_1", "aff_neg_2", "aff_neg_3", "aff_neg_4", "aff_neg_5", "aff_neg_6", "soc_med_read", "soc_med_like_share", "soc_med_post", "soc_med_fb", "soc_med_ig", "soc_med_wa", "soc_med_yt", "soc_med_tw", "age", "male", "born_aus", "born_aus_prnts", "edu_fac", "employment_fac", "health", "res_vienna", "acc_bal", "acc_gar", "home_sqm", "med_txt_kro", "med_txt_sta", "med_txt_pre", "med_txt_oes", "med_txt_kur", "med_txt_slz", "med_txt_son", "med_vid_orf", "med_vid_pri", "risk_prop", "loc_cntrl_int_1", "loc_cntrl_int_2", "loc_cntrl_int_3", "loc_cntrl_int_4", "act_wrk", "act_spo", "act_frn", "act_sho", "act_pet", "sat_dem", "trst_media", "trst_police", "trst_media", "trst_hlthsec", "trst_gov", "trst_army", "corona_pos") # only include vars measured at _all_ points

Filter respondents with more than 50% missing data – only needed for analyses as originally preregistered (see additional analyses).

d_long_50 <- 
  d_long %>% 
  mutate(na_perc = rowSums(is.na(select(., all_of(vars_used))) / ncol(select(., all_of(vars_used))))) %>% 
  filter(na_perc < .5)
write_csv(d_long_50, "data/data_50.csv")

Exclude social media use data, because they were measured only on selected waves.

vars_excl <- c("soc_med_read", "soc_med_like_share", "soc_med_post", "soc_med_fb", "soc_med_ig", "soc_med_wa", "soc_med_yt", "soc_med_tw")
incl_ma <- d_long %>% 
  mutate(across(.cols = everything(), .fns = is.na))
incl_ma[vars_excl] <- FALSE

# now also for data where 50% missing excluded
incl_ma_50 <- d_long_50 %>% 
  mutate(across(.cols = everything(), .fns = is.na))
incl_ma_50[vars_excl] <- FALSE

Single imputation

For analyses as originally preregistered (see additional analyses), hence using only participants who provided more than 50% of all data.

d_long_50_imp <- mice(d_long_50, 
                      method = "pmm", # use predictive mean matching
                      m = 1, maxit = 30, # only 1 imputation
                      # where = incl_ma_50,
                      seed = 180719, print = FALSE)
d_long_50_imp <- mice::complete(d_long_50_imp)
write_csv(d_long_50_imp, "data/data_50_imputed.csv")

Because CFAs aren’t evaluated with multiple imputation, impute single data-set. Missing data was imputed for everyone.

d_long_100_imp <- mice(d_long, 
                   method = "pmm", # use predictive mean matching
                   m = 1, # only 1 imputation
                   maxit = 30, 
                   # where = incl_ma,
                   seed = 180719, print = FALSE)
d_long_100_imp <- mice::complete(d_long_100_imp)
write_csv(d_long_100_imp, "data/data_100_imputed.csv")

Multiple Imputation

Now, multiple imputation of data-sets (5 data sets, 20 iterations), used for the final analyses.

# impute missing data with multiple imputation
d_long_100_mim_mice <- mice(d_long, 
                   method = "pmm", # use predictive mean matching
                   m = 20, # 5 imputations, 
                   maxit = 5, # 5 iterations
                   # where = incl_ma,
                   seed = 180719, print = FALSE)
d_long_100_mim <- mice::complete(d_long_100_mim_mice, action = "long", include = TRUE)
write_csv(d_long_100_mim, "data/data_100_mim.csv")

Load data

To increase speed, you can also load the imputed data from the directory

d_long_50_imp <- read_csv("data/data_50_imputed.csv") # data where people with >50% missing data were filtered
d_long_100_imp <- read_csv("data/data_100_imputed.csv") # data where all people were included
d_long_100_mim <- read_csv("data/data_100_mim.csv") # data where all people were included

Create within-between data

First, create means for scales. Then, create mean values for each person (between), and unique changes per wave (within).

d_long_100_mim <-
  d_long_100_mim %>% 
  mutate(aff_pos_m = rowMeans(select(., aff_pos_1 : aff_pos_3)),
         aff_neg_m = rowMeans(select(., aff_neg_1 : aff_neg_6)),
         loc_cntrl_int_m = rowMeans(select(., loc_cntrl_int_1 : loc_cntrl_int_4)))

d_long_100_mim %<>%
  group_by(id) %>% 
  mutate_at(vars(health:loc_cntrl_int_m), funs(b = mean(., na.rm = TRUE), w = . - mean(., na.rm = TRUE))) %>% 
  ungroup()

d_long_100_mim_mice <- as.mids(d_long_100_mim)
d_long_100_imp <-
  d_long_100_imp %>% 
  mutate(aff_pos_m = rowMeans(select(., aff_pos_1 : aff_pos_3)),
         aff_neg_m = rowMeans(select(., aff_neg_1 : aff_neg_6)),
         loc_cntrl_int_m = rowMeans(select(., loc_cntrl_int_1 : loc_cntrl_int_4)))

d_long_100_imp %<>%
  group_by(id) %>% 
  mutate_at(vars(health:corona_pos, loc_cntrl_int_m), funs(b = mean(., na.rm = TRUE), w = . - mean(., na.rm = TRUE))) %>% 
  ungroup()

And now the same for the standardized data set.

d_long_100_mim_std <-
  d_long_100_mim %>% 
  group_by(.imp) %>% 
  mutate_at(vars(gender:corona_pos, -id, -wave, -gender, -male, -born_aus, -born_aus_prnts, -edu_fac, -employment_fac, -res_vienna, -acc_bal, -acc_gar), ~ c(scale(.))) %>% 
  ungroup()

d_long_100_mim_std %<>%
  mutate(aff_pos_m = rowMeans(select(., aff_pos_1 : aff_pos_3)),
         aff_neg_m = rowMeans(select(., aff_neg_1 : aff_neg_6)),
         loc_cntrl_int_m = rowMeans(select(., loc_cntrl_int_1 : loc_cntrl_int_4)))

d_long_100_mim_std %<>%
  group_by(id) %>%
  mutate_at(vars(health:corona_pos, loc_cntrl_int_m), funs(b = mean(., na.rm = TRUE), w = . - mean(., na.rm = TRUE))) %>%
  ungroup()

d_long_100_mim_mice_std <- as.mids(d_long_100_mim_std)

And because later we want to rerun the results as originally preregistered, we’ll now do the same for analyses without filtered data.

d_long_50_imp <-
  d_long_50_imp %>% 
  mutate(aff_pos_m = rowMeans(select(., aff_pos_1 : aff_pos_3)),
         aff_neg_m = rowMeans(select(., aff_neg_1 : aff_neg_6)),
         loc_cntrl_int_m = rowMeans(select(., loc_cntrl_int_1 : loc_cntrl_int_4)))

d_long_50_imp %<>% 
  group_by(id) %>% 
  mutate_at(vars(health:corona_pos, loc_cntrl_int_m), 
            funs(b = mean(., na.rm = TRUE), w = . - mean(., na.rm = TRUE))) %>% 
  ungroup()

And because later we want to rerun the results without imputed data, now the same for data without imputation.

d_long_50 %<>% 
  mutate(aff_pos_m = rowMeans(select(., aff_pos_1 : aff_pos_3)),
