Observation Level Descriptives (full dataset, not grouped by person or dyad)
Instance Indicators
NOTE: There are some instance indicator variables (e.g., interaction mode, mask) that were not shown in all question branches, and thus have a large proportion of -99 (not shown) responses. These are filtered out before plotting for better visualization.
Survey Type (scheduled vs. adhoc)
NAs are from expiwell data since there is no platform-generated survey type indicator for data collected on that platform.
## Warning: The dot-dot notation (`..count..`) was deprecated in ggplot2 3.4.0.
## ℹ Please use `after_stat(count)` instead.
## This warning is displayed once every 8 hours.
