- Abstract
The article introduces the "SpiDa" dataset, which contains self-report questionnaires and ratings of spider images from individuals with spider phobia. Spider phobia is a common specific phobia, particularly in females, and can negatively impact quality of life. The dataset offers valuable insights into understanding and treating spider phobia, including subjective levels of fear, disgust, and willingness to approach spiders. The article explains the data collection methods and provides a codebook with descriptive statistics. This resource is useful for researchers investigating fear of spiders and related topics, although it has some limitations. The study was conducted ethically and received funding from various sources.
