In this special bonus episode of Data Brunch, guest-hosted by ICPSR summer interns Evie Katmanivong and Varshini Kashyap, we hear from three Singapore Management University students (Ng Hok Shan Matthew, Verity Lua, and Nadyanna Majeed) whose undergraduate entry won the ICPSR 2021 Research Paper Competition. Interviewed by ICPSR’s Kathryn Lavender, Data Project Manager at the National Archive of Computerized Data on Aging or (NACDA), the trio earned First Place in the Undergraduate Competition with a paper titled “Is trait self-esteem a resilience factor against daily stressors? A multilevel analysis.” Their paper uses data from Midlife in the United States (MIDUS 2), and the Daily Stress Project.
