Data collection with the Digital Panel
Various projects and studies can be carried out within the framework of the Digital Mental Health Panel.
The following types of use of the Digital Panel are possible:
- Access to existing data from the Digital Panel,
- Conducting an in-depth study (i.e., new data collection),
- Use of the panel participant pool for participant recruitment for external studies (i.e., studies outside the Digital Panel that do not use existing data from the panel).
It is also possible to link data from external laboratory and intervention studies with data already collected in the panel.
All important information and applications regrading work with the Digital Panel can be found in the Data Use and Publication Guidelines.

Surveys and constructs in the Digital Panel
Within the framework of the Digital Panel, various data surveys on a wide range of constructs are conducted on an ongoing basis. A key focus here is on mental health.
Mental health is measured both through variables such as depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms (Depression Anxiety Stress Scales 21, DASS21; original version: Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995; German version: Nilges & Essau, 2015), as well as through life satisfaction (Satisfaction with Life Scale, SWLS; original version: Diener et al., 1985; German version: Glaesmer et al., 2011) and positive mental health (Positive Mental Health Scale, PMH-Scale; German original version: Lukat et al., 2016).
Further constructs in the panel include, among others, loneliness, aggressiveness, and bullying.
For a detailed description of the constructs measured and the measurement instruments used, please contact the panel team.
