## Description  
*The component contains basic description of the qualitative interview data used within the project PRINS, working package 3.3, data 3.3a. Besides description and metadata, you can find working codebook, read_me file and eventually also a final anonymized table of research participants and some of their characteristics. You can also learn more about the treatment of the data. All interviews are with non-professional Czech and Slovak retail investors. They have been conducted between 2023 and 2026, both in-person and online according to interviewee’s availability. The length of the recording have been usually between 60 and 90 minutes with few exceptions under and above that. On a request, after consideration, I can share portions of some interviews utilized within the project outcomes to provide more context, current coding schemes, list of participants or events, questions script in a model interview guide etc. If you are interested, please, contact the author through channels in a read_me.txt file. However, ensuring anonymity is priority that I aim to uphold before any access request.*

## Notes  
*These are primarily in-depth qualitative interview data that are work-in-progress. I commited to keep the anonymity of my research partners in informed consent forms we signed. Therefore, the interview transcripts themselves and additional sensitive information about the data may be accessible only after consideration and request via e-mail. Additional files are going to be added as the research progresses. The state of this component is as of April, 2026.*
