Asian Barometer Survey (Waves 1–6, country-level aggregates)亚洲晴雨表调查（第 1–6 波，国家/地区层面聚合）

The Asian Barometer Survey measures attitudes towards democracy, governance and reform across East, South-East and South Asia. This dataset aggregates every wave currently released to the country level: the Wave 1-5 merged files and the Wave 6 country releases. One row is one economy in one survey year, and each indicator is a weighted share (or mean) computed with that wave's own within-country weights.

Coverage by wave - Wave 1 (2001–2003): 8 economies, survey years 2001–2003; Wave 2 (2005–2008): 13 economies, survey years 2006–2008; Wave 3 (2010–2012): 13 economies, survey years 2010–2012; Wave 4 (2014–2016): 14 economies, survey years 2014–2016; Wave 5 (2018–2021): 15 economies, survey years 2018–2021; Wave 6 (2021–2023): 12 economies, survey years 2021–2023. Wave 5 adds India and Australia to the panel; Cambodia was not fielded in Wave 5, and Wave 6 is still being released economy by economy, so the economies covered differ from wave to wave. The wave number is kept as a column so the coverage can be checked directly in the data.

Four items are hosted: satisfaction with the way democracy works, whether the country is seen as a democracy, how suitable democracy is for the country (a 1-10 mean), and trust in the national government. Response scales are not identical across waves, so the coding is set separately for every wave: in Waves 1 and 2 the satisfaction and trust scales run from the negative to the positive end and are reversed from Wave 3 onward, and Wave 5 replaced the four-point trust scale with a six-point one. Trust is therefore harmonised as the trusting side of the scale against the distrusting side - the top two of four categories, and the top three of Wave 5's six - which is comparable in direction but not category by category, so Wave 5 trust figures should be read with that in mind. Items a wave did not field are left empty (Wave 1 has no four-point democracy-extent question, Wave 3 has no suitability question).

The two South Asia (SDSA) files delivered alongside use a different questionnaire and sampling frame and are not merged in.

亚洲晴雨表调查（Asian Barometer Survey）测量东亚、东南亚与南亚公众对民主、治理与改革的态度。本数据集把目前已发布的各波全部聚合到国家/地区层面：第 1–5 波合并档与第 6 波分经济体发布档。一行 = 一个经济体在某一调查年，各指标使用该波自带的国内权重计算。

逐波覆盖——第 1 波（2001–2003）：8 个经济体，调查年 2001–2003；第 2 波（2005–2008）：13 个经济体，调查年 2006–2008；第 3 波（2010–2012）：13 个经济体，调查年 2010–2012；第 4 波（2014–2016）：14 个经济体，调查年 2014–2016；第 5 波（2018–2021）：15 个经济体，调查年 2018–2021；第 6 波（2021–2023）：12 个经济体，调查年 2021–2023。第 5 波新增印度与澳大利亚；柬埔寨该波未做；第 6 波仍在逐个经济体陆续发布，因此各波覆盖的经济体并不相同。波次号作为一列保留在数据里，覆盖情况可直接核对。

此处托管 4 个题目：对民主运行的满意度、认为本国是民主国家、民主对本国的适合程度（1–10 加权均值），以及对中央政府的信任。各波量表并不一致，命中码按波单独设定：第 1、2 波的满意度与信任题是从否定端到肯定端，第 3 波起方向翻转；第 5 波更把四点信任量表换成了六点量表。因此信任指标统一按「信任侧 vs 不信任侧」口径处理——四点量表取前 2 档，第 5 波六点量表取前 3 档——方向可比但并非逐档对齐，读第 5 波的信任数值时需注意这一点。某波未问的题目留空（第 1 波没有四点式"民主程度"题，第 3 波没有"适合程度"题）。

随交付的两份南亚（SDSA）调查使用不同问卷与抽样体系，未并入本表。
