: The current study drew data from Wave 8 of the New Zealand Attitudes and Values Study (NZAVS), which is run by the University of Auckland. The NZAVS is not associated with any political organization or government body, and has received internal University funding, as well as funding from various not-for-profit research granting agencies, and research trusts. The results and publications from NZAVS data are independent of any corporate or government body, or specific funding agency. As such, the authors note they are not aware of any potential conflicts of interest.
: The University of Auckland Human Participants Ethics Committee reviews the NZAVS approximately every 3 years. Wave 8 of the data is covered by the most recent renewal, which was initiated in September 2017 and lasts until June 2021 (reference number: 014889).
: The NZAVS commenced in 2009 and is an annual, longitudinal, national probability study of New Zealand adult residents randomly selected from the electoral roll. Waves of NZAVS surveys are posted to participants by mail, with a follow up copy posted 2 months later. The invitations to complete the survey are accompanied by detailed information about the contents and topics of the survey, and all participants have provided written informed consent for each wave of the study. The NZAVS takes participant confidentiality seriously and protects the identities of participants by encrypting personal details and storing these separate to other data. Participant contact details are used for the sole purpose of inviting them to continue to participate in future waves of the study, and to provide information regarding research findings and feedback. Participants continue to be able to access additional information by directly contacting the NZAVS researchers, or by reviewing the NZAVS information page (ExternalRef removed).
