Description
Zhu and Cheng present, in 2026, a survey dataset on how young Chinese citizens see their own country and use media, covering two generational cohorts. The post-90s sample, collected in 2019, holds 357 respondents, while the post-00s sample, collected in 2025, holds 1,672 respondents. Domestic image is measured as a multidimensional construct spanning social, political, economic, cultural, and environmental domains, paired with detailed media-use questions for joint analysis.
Among post-00s respondents, 61.06 percent were female and 38.94 percent male, 96.92 percent lived inside China, and the largest age bands were 22 to 25 years at 45.38 percent and 26 to 29 years at 49.30 percent of the younger cohort. Validation included internal consistency checks, inter-item correlations, and exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. The authors caution that cross-cohort comparisons carry temporal and contextual caveats despite overlapping questionnaire design, and they document every item for reuse.
