<p>Some extremely large personality data sets can be downloaded at <a href="http://personality-testing.info/_rawdata/">http://personality-testing.info/_rawdata/</a> in CSV format.</p>

<p>They are not packaged in R, but I post the link because you indicate in your reply to USER:what that you are having trouble finding any data sets what so ever.</p>

Thanks. They look like they'll be useful for a factor analysis / psychometrics lab I need to give.

<p>I teach research methods in psychology and I'm looking for interesting real-world dataset to use as the basis for tutorials. I've found a few in contributed R packages (e.g., <a href="http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/AER/index.html">AER</a>, <a href="http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/psych/index.html">psych</a>), but I'm not aware of a general resource listing R packages that supply multiple interesting, real-world, psychological datasets. In particular, some textbooks have an aligned R package containing many interesting datasets. </p>

# Which R packages have good collections of psychology datasets?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2013-08-22)

The [open source statistical software R](http://www.r-project.org/) has a range of contributed packages. Some of them include datasets.

I teach research methods in psychology and I'm looking for interesting real-world dataset to use as the basis for tutorials. I've found a few in contributed R packages (e.g., [AER](http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/AER/index.html), [psych](http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/psych/index.html)), but I'm not aware of a general resource listing R packages that supply multiple interesting, real-world, psychological datasets. In particular, some textbooks have an aligned R package containing many interesting datasets.

The [languageR](http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/languageR/index.html) package contains several interesting real-world datasets relevant to psycholinguistics. These datasets are presumably also described in the [accompanying textbook](http://books.google.com/books/about/Analyzing_Linguistic_Data.html?id=UvWkIg5E4foC).

Not R packages, but:

Best psychological datasets I found on the internet was from the dataverse at Harvard: <https://dataverse.harvard.edu>

<https://osf.io> also has good data sets, but the search engine is mediocre. It is usually more convenient to search from google directly.
