SUMMARY: This study is part of a time-series collection of national surveys fielded continuously since 1952.
The election studies are designed to present data on Americans' social backgrounds, enduring political predispositions,
social and political values, perceptions and evaluations of groups and candidates, opinions on questions of public
policy, and participation in political life. The 1980 Election Study is comprised of several integrated survey data
collections occurring at strategically chosen periods in the course of the election year, along with vote validation
and contextual data. Four areas were targeted for special attention: new measurement of party identification, the
measurement of voter attitudes concerning issues of public policy, new content concerning public perceptions of
and responses to political leadership, and the exploration of social networks in the crystallization of the vote choice.
The National Election Studies Board established a 1980 Presidential Elections Committee that consisted of three
Board members (Merrill Shanks, John Jackson, David Sears) and three additional scholars (Richard S. Brody,
Jack Dennis, Donald R. Kinder). This committee along with the Center for Political Studies project staff was
responsible for the planning of the year-long study. The Pre- and Post-Election Surveys file [C-3/C3po] contains the
traditional election survey data. Contextual measures provided along with the survey data include election returns,
interest group ratings of incumbents, and Federal Election Commission campaign contribution data. The Major Panel
File [P1-P4] presents a year-long four-wave panel. The panel began in late January as a national cross-section of
1,008 cases, and interviewing ended before the New Hampshire primary on February 24. Respondents from the
first wave [P-1] were reinterviewed in June immediately after the last set of primary elections that were held on June 3.
The third panel interview [P-3] was taken during the month of September, and the fourth and final wave [P-4] was
taken immediately after the general election and includes reinterviews with respondents who did not participate in
wave 3. Wave 4 was a fifteen-minute telephone interview. The Integrated File (ICPSR Version), in addition to the
pre/post survey data and 4-wave panel data, contains an independent cross-section sample [C-1] of 965 cases
who were interviewed in the midst of the primary season during the three-week ''window'' following the early April
primaries. These respondents were reinterviewed following the general election [C-4] with a telephone interview
essentially the same as that administered to P-4 respondents. This complex file was prepared to facilitate the
analytic use of the large body of data gathered in 1980. Virtually all of the 1980 data are included in this file, with
data merged as appropriate for panel samples. The individual files for each of the 1980 surveys have been
reformatted to a standardized data record structure in such a manner that the data for identical questions across
studies are always stored under the same variable number and in a fixed and specified record location in the
integrated file. Filters are included to allow users to retrieve specific samples from the file. Vote validation data are
included in the file. Hard copy documentation includes composite codebook and questionnaire, and frequency
addendum.

SUMMARY: This study is part of a time-series collection of national surveys fielded continuously since 1952.
The election studies are designed to present data on Americans' social backgrounds, enduring political predispositions,
social and political values, perceptions and evaluations of groups and candidates, opinions on questions of public
policy, and participation in political life. Part 1 of this collection contains the traditional Pre- and Post-Election Survey
(ICPSR Version). Interviews were conducted in-person prior to the 1984 election, and in the post-election wave,
half of the respondents were randomly assigned to be reinterviewed in person, and the other half to be reinterviewed by
telephone using a shortened version of the questionnaire. In addition to the standard core questions, new topic areas
(most of which had been piloted in 1983) included economic individualism and egalitarian items, and group identification
items. Vote validation data also are provided. Continuous Monitoring, January 11, 1984 through December 31, 1984 (Part 3)
was designed to examine the impact of the election campaign on voters' perceptions, beliefs, and preferences.
Respondents were questioned about their knowledge of the candidates' stand on the issues, about their own stand on
the issues, and about their opinions and evaluations of the candidates. Interviews were conducted by telephone
throughout the year, with a total of 46 separate cross-section samples selected by a random digit dialing design, and an
average of 76 respondents interviewed in each of the 46 sample weeks. Although the survey instrument was very
much the same from one sample week to the next, some questions were deleted and others added during the course of
the campaign, as issues became more or less relevant. Thirteen versions of the questionnaire were incorporated into this
data file. Each telephone number selected in the Continuous Monitoring Study generated a labeled coversheet with an
administrative history: number of calls, household composition, final disposition, and so forth. Information from every
coversheet generated during the course of the study, including non-interviews, is provided in the Field Administration
Data File for Continuous Monitoring (Part 22). The file contains zip codes for working residential telephone numbers
(where the selected respondent agreed to give that information), but does not contain respondent interview numbers,
so it cannot be merged with the Continuous Monitoring File (Part 3).

SUMMARY: This study is part of a time-series collection of national surveys fielded continuously since 1952.
The election studies are designed to present data on Americans' social backgrounds, enduring political predispositions,
social and political values, perceptions and evaluations of groups and candidates, opinions on questions of public
policy, and participation in political life. In addition to the standard or ''core'' content items, new topics include evaluations
of the presidential primary candidates, respondent's primary vote, the budget deficit, health insurance, foreign policy,
equal rights for women, the drug problem, the Reagan presidency, recall of the 1984 presidential vote, parental party
identification, evaluation of Bush and Dukakis on the issues of environment and crime, the death penalty, and new
system support and political efficacy items. The file also contains post-election vote validation and election
administration survey data. The Nonresponse ''Bias'' File (Part 22) presents information concerning the 2,040
complete or partial interviews that comprise the pre/post survey plus refusals, no-contact, and non-sample cases in
order to permit analysis of the causes and consequences of nonresponse. Included in these data is information from
the Interviewer's Description Booklet, a form used for the first time in 1988 to describe attempts at contact with each
household within the 1988 NES selected sample. The Pre- and Post-Election Call Record Files (Parts 23 and 24)
provide information for each call made at a sampling unit (e.g., time of day, day of the week, and the result of the call),
while Part 25 contains data collected in 1991 to revalidate the 1988 respondents in order to assess the reliability of the
vote validation process.
SOURCE: personal interviews
UNIVERSE: All United States citizens of voting age on or before November 8, 1988, residing in housing units
other than on military reservations in the 48 coterminous states.
SAMPLE: National multistage area probability sample.
NOTE: Two forms were used in both the pre- and post-election surveys so that a maximum amount of content
could be included. For both the pre- and post-election surveys, half the sample was assigned to Form A, the
other half to Form B. In particular, the lengthy section containing Reagan retrospective evaluation items was
split between the two waves and the two forms in order not to make either the pre- or post-election instrument
unacceptably long, and to study the effects of post-election media analysis of the presidency. The other major
use of the two forms was to conduct an experiment in survey response. The EXTENT OF PROCESSING field

SUMMARY: This study is part of a time-series collection of national surveys fielded continuously since 1952.
The election studies are designed to present data on Americans' social backgrounds, enduring political
predispositions, social and political values, perceptions and evaluations of groups and candidates, opinions
on questions of public policy, and participation in political life. The 1992 National Election Study entailed both
a pre-election interview and a post-election reinterview. Approximately half of the 1992 cases are comprised of
empaneled respondents who were first interviewed in AMERICAN NATIONAL ELECTION STUDY, 1990:
POST-ELECTION SURVEY (ICPSR 9548) and later in AMERICAN NATIONAL ELECTION STUDY: 1990-1991
PANEL STUDY OF THE POLITICAL CONSEQUENCES OF WAR/1991 PILOT STUDY (ICPSR 9673). The other
half of the cases are a freshly drawn cross-section sample. The panel component of the study design provides
an opportunity to trace how the changing fortunes of the Bush presidency, from the high levels of approval at the
start of the Gulf War through the decline after the onset of a recession, affected voting in the November 1992
presidential election. It also permits analysts to investigate the origins of the Clinton and Perot coalitions as well
as changes in the public's political preferences over the two years preceding the 1992 election. In the
1990 Post-Election Survey two forms of the survey instrument were used, with about 75 percent of the content
being the same on both forms. Survey questions included the now-standard National Election Studies battery of
questions, along with items on presidential performance and the Persian Gulf conflict. Additionally, Form A
contained questions relating to values and individualism, while Form B had content relating to foreign relations.
In 1991, respondents were reinterviewed several months after hostilities in the Persian Gulf ended, and in this
second wave the survey content consisted of a repeat of a subset of questions from the 1990 Post-Election
Survey, along with additional items especially relevant to the Gulf War. A number of contextual variables also are
provided, including summary variables that combine the respondent's recall of his or her senator's and
representative's vote on the use of force with that congressperson's actual vote. The content for the 1992 Election
Study reflects its dual purpose, both as the traditional presidential election year time-series data collection and
as the third wave of a panel study. In addition to the standard or core content items, respondents were asked
their positions on social issues such as altruism, abortion, the death penalty, prayer in the schools, the rights of
homosexuals, sexual harassment, women's rights, and feminist consciousness. Other substantive themes included
racial and ethnic stereotypes, opinions on school integration and affirmative action, attitudes towards immigrants
(particularly Hispanics and Asians), opinions on immigration policy and bilingual education, assessments of
United States foreign policy goals, and United States involvement in the Persian Gulf War. The Nonresponse ''Bias''
File (Part 23), designed to permit analysis of the causes and consequences of nonresponse, presents information
concerning 3,690 cases that include complete or partial interviews for the Pre-/Post-Election Survey plus refusals,
no-contact, and nonsample cases.
SOURCE: personal interviews and telephone interviews
UNIVERSE: All United States citizens of voting age on or before November 6, 1990 (for those interviewed in
1990 and 1991), and on or before November 3, 1992 (for those interviewed in 1992 and 1993), residing in housing
units other than on military reservations in the 48 coterminous states.
SAMPLE: A national multistage area probability sample was employed for the 1990 Post-Election Survey and the
1992 Pre- and Post-Election Survey. For the 1990-1991 Panel Study of the Political Consequences of the War,
615 respondents were not reinterviewed either due to panel mortality (e.g., they had moved or died), or were
effectively nonsample for telephone reinterview because they were extremely hard of hearing, could not be
reached by telephone, or needed to be interviewed in a language other than English.
NOTE: A total of 2,485 citizens were interviewed in the nine weeks prior to the November 3, 1992, election.
To permit analysis of the impact of the unfolding election campaign, a random half of the sample was released to
the field on September 1 and the other half on October 1. Of the pre-election interviews, 1,359 were conducted
with panel respondents and 1,126 with cross-section respondents. In the weeks following the election,
2,255 pre-election respondents (1,250 panel and 1,005 cross-section) were reinterviewed. Variables 2008
(91: RESULT CODE), 7000 (92: TIME SERIES WEIGHT), and 7001 (92: TYPE OF INCUMBENT) are new
additions to this collection. All other variables retain their original numbers from when they first appeared in
either AMERICAN NATIONAL ELECTION STUDY, 1990: POST-ELECTION SURVEY [ICPSR VERSION]

Miller, and the National Election Studies.
SUMMARY= This study is part of a time-series collection of national
surveys fielded continuously since 1952. The election studies are
designed to present data on Americans' social backgrounds, enduring
political predispositions, social and political values, perceptions
and evaluations of groups and candidates, opinions on questions of
public policy, and participation in political life. The 1996
National Election Study contains both pre- and post-election
components. The Pre-Election Survey includes interviews in which
approximately 77 percent of the cases are comprised of empaneled
respondents first interviewed in either AMERICAN NATIONAL
ELECTION STUDY, 1992: PRE- AND POST-ELECTION SURVEY [ENHANCED
WITH 1990 AND 1991 DATA] (ICPSR 6067) or in AMERICAN NATIONAL
ELECTION STUDY, 1994: POST-ELECTION SURVEY [ENHANCED WITH 1992
AND 1993 DATA] (ICPSR 6507). The other 23 percent of the
pre-election cases are a freshly drawn cross-section sample. Of
the 1,714 citizens who were interviewed during the pre-election
stage, 1,534 (89.5 percent) also participated in the
Post-Election Survey (1,197 of these were panel cases and 337
were cross-section). The content of the 1996 Election Study
reflects its dual function, both as the traditional presidential
election year time-series data collection and as a panel study.
Substantive themes presented in the 1996 questionnaires include
interest in the political campaigns, concern about the outcome,
attentiveness to the media's coverage of the campaign,
information about politics, evaluation of the presidential
candidates and placement of presidential candidates on various
issue dimensions, partisanship and evaluations of the political
parties, knowledge of and evaluation of House candidates, political
participation (including turnout in the presidential primaries
and in the November general election and other forms of electoral
campaign activity), and vote choice for president, the United
States House, and the United States Senate, including second
choice for president. Additional items focused on perceptions of
personal and national economic well-being, positions on social
welfare issues (including government health insurance, federal
budget priorities, and the role of government in the provision of
jobs and a good standard of living), positions on social issues
(including abortion, women's roles, prayer in the schools, the
rights of homosexuals, and the death penalty), racial and ethnic
stereotypes, opinions on affirmative action, attitudes toward
immigrants, opinions about the nation's most important problem,
political predispositions (including moral traditionalism,
political efficacy, egalitarianism, humanitarianism,
individualism, and trust in government), social altruism, social
connectedness, feeling thermometers on a wide range of political
figures and political groups, affinity with various social
groups, and detailed demographic information and measures of
religious affiliation and religiosity. Several new content areas
were also added to this survey, including a core battery of
campaign-related items in the pre-election wave to better
understand the dynamics of congressional campaigns, several
questions related to issue importance and uncertainty both in
relation to respondents and to candidates, an eight-minute module
of questions developed by a consortium of electoral scholars from
52 polities to facilitate comparative analysis of political
attitudes and voting behavior, new issue items in the areas of
crime, gun control, and income inequality, new items tapping
perceptions of environmental conditions (air quality and the
safety of drinking water in the nation and in the respondent's
own community), environmental priorities (ranging from global
warming to cleaning up lakes and parks), self-placements and
placements of candidates and parties on environmental issues
(trading off environmental protection against jobs and living
standards, and supporting or opposing government environmental
regulations on businesses), and the relative effectiveness of
national, state, and local governments in dealing with
environmental problems. Other new items included several measures
of social connectedness and a battery of items on membership and
activity in a wide variety of social, political, religious, and
civic organizations. New media exposure, reception, and attention
items were also introduced, including questions on talk radio,
network and television news, and items asking respondents to
match news anchors with the networks they work for. Also added
was a battery of exposure items for entertainment television
programs as an indirect measure of exposure to campaign
advertisements, as well as a new open-ended item on recollection
of campaign ads and questions on respondent attention to the
campaign in various media.

SERIES NAME= AMERICAN NATIONAL ELECTION STUDY SERIES
SERIES INFO= The American National Election Studies are national
surveys carried out by the Survey Research Center (SRC) or by the
Center for Political Studies (CPS) of the Institute for Social
Research at the University of Michigan. They are based on
multistage representative cross-section samples of citizens of
voting age, living in private households. Each study contains
information from interviews conducted with 1,000 to 2,000
respondents. The samples are representative of the four major
regions (Northeast, North Central, South, and West) of the
coterminous United States as defined by the Census Bureau.
Descriptions of the sampling procedures can be found in Leslie
Kish, SURVEY SAMPLING (New York: John Wiley and Sons, 1964).
Interviewing was conducted after the presidential election of
1948, before and after presidential elections from 1952 through
1996, but only after the congressional elections of 1958, 1962,
1966, 1970, 1974, 1978, 1982, 1986, 1990, and 1994. Also, in
1980, data were collected at six time periods in addition to the
traditional pre- and post-presidential election surveys.
Interviews range from one to three hours in length. Many
questions are replicated across studies, although each has
questions not asked in the others. The major substantive areas
covered in all studies may be roughly grouped as follows: -
Respondents' expectations about the outcome of the election,
perceptions and evaluations of the major parties and candidates,
and perceived importance of the election. - Party identification
and political history of respondents and their parents. -
Measurement of respondents' interest in politics and their
political motivation. - Respondents' issue positions, the
strength of these positions, and respondents' perceptions of the
major parties' stands and differences relating to these issues. -
Respondents' perceptions of economic, ethnic, and religious group
political orientation and feelings of closeness and trust toward
these groups. - Respondents' assessments of the relative
importance of major problems facing the country and general
appraisals of the foreign and domestic state of affairs. - Self-
reported assessments of financial situation and class identity and
questions relating to economic, social, and geographical
mobility. - Sources of political information, degree of political
interaction with family and friends, and organizational
membership and activities. - Measures of political efficacy,
conservatism versus liberalism, and trust in government. -
Personal data yielding information on sex, race, age, education,
occupation, father's occupation, ethnic background, religious
affiliation, income, family composition, and region of the
country in which the respondent grew up and is presently living. -
Post-election questions on actual voting behavior and awareness
of, and participation in, the campaign. For further discussion of

SUMMARY: This data collection offers information on the opinions and attitudes of the general public and a
select group of elites, or opinion leaders, on matters relating to foreign policy. The primary objectives of this study
were to define the parameters of public opinion within which decision makers must operate and to compare the
attitudes of the general public with those of opinion leaders. For the purposes of this study, ''opinion leaders'' are
defined as those who are in positions of leadership in government, academia, business and labor, the media,
religious institutions, special interest groups, and private foreign policy organizations. Variables in the general
public cross-section file and the elite file include opinions on specific foreign policy problems, economic and
military aid to other countries, the role of the United States in foreign affairs, use of United States troops in
other parts of the world, a nuclear freeze, the proposed Strategic Defense Initiative (''Star Wars''), and terrorism.
Demographic characteristics such as age, sex, race, income, marital status, and educational achievement are also
supplied in the cross-section file, along with feeling thermometers which probe for the respondent's attitudes toward
various foreign countries and toward well-known political figures. A follow-up survey of the general public was also
undertaken to identify changes in attitudes that might have occurred in the aftermath of the Iran/Contra affair. This
follow-up file contains a limited set of pertinent variables from the original general public cross-section study.

SUMMARY: This data collection is the 1990 version of a quadrennial study designed to investigate the opinions
and attitudes of the general public and of a select group of opinion leaders (or elites) on matters relating to foreign
policy. The primary objectives of this study were to define the parameters of public opinion within which decision makers
must operate and to compare the attitudes of the general public with those of opinion leaders. For the purposes of this
study, ''opinion leaders'' are defined as those who are in positions of leadership in government, academia, business
and labor, the media, religious institutions, special interest groups, and private foreign policy organizations. Both
general public and elite respondents were questioned regarding the biggest problems/foreign policy problems facing
the United States today, spending levels for various federal government programs, the role of Congress in determining
foreign policy, the impact of foreign policy on things such as prices and unemployment, economic aid to other nations,
military aid/selling military equipment to other nations, the role of the United States in world affairs, the Bush
administration's handling of various problems, government reactions to situations in Kuwait, Panama, and China,
the importance of various countries to America's vital interests, possible threats/adversaries to the United States in
coming years, and the use of United States military troops in other parts of the world. Other topics covered include the
relative importance of several foreign policy goals, United States relations with the Soviet Union, Cuba, and Vietnam,
NATO and keeping troops in western Europe, the military role of Japan and Germany, the economic unification of
western Europe, the Israeli-Palestinian dispute, policy options to reduce dependence on foreign oil, the illegal drug
problem, free trade, and the respondent's political party affiliation and the strength of that affiliation. In addition,
general populace respondents were asked to indicate their level of political activity, how closely they followed
news about several current issues and events, and to rate various foreign countries and American and foreign leaders
on a feeling thermometer scale. Demographic characteristics such as religious preference, marital status, employment
status, household composition, education, age, Hispanic origin, race, sex, and income also were gathered for these
respondents.
SOURCE: personal interviews, and telephone interviews
UNIVERSE: Part 1: Individuals in positions of leadership in the Bush administration, the House of Representatives,
the Senate, business, labor, media, education, and religious organizations, special interest groups, and private foreign
policy organizations, and Part 2: Civilian adults aged 18 and older, living in the United States.

SUMMARY: The Public Use Microdata Samples (PUMS) from the 1980
Census contain person- and household-level information from the
''long-form'' questionnaires distributed to a sample of the
population enumerated in the 1980 Census. The B Sample contains
information for each state, and for households and persons
residing in metropolitan areas that are too small to be
separately identified and/or that cross state boundaries. Standard
Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSAs) and county groups are
defined differently here than in the A Sample [CENSUS OF POPULATION
AND HOUSING, 1980 [UNITED STATES]: PUBLIC USE MICRODATA SAMPLE (A
SAMPLE): 5-PERCENT SAMPLE (ICPSR 8101)]. Most states cannot be
identified in their entirety. As a percentage of the l-Percent
Public Use Microdata Sample (B Sample) [CENSUS OF POPULATION AND
HOUSING, 1980 [UNITED STATES]: PUBLIC USE MICRODATA SAMPLE (B
SAMPLE): 1-PERCENT SAMPLE (ICPSR 8170)], this file constitutes a
1-in-1000 sample, and contains all household- and person-level
variables from the original B Sample. Household-level variables
include housing tenure, year structure was built, number and
types of rooms in dwelling, plumbing facilities, heating
equipment, taxes and mortgage costs, number of children, and
household and family income. Person-level variables include sex,
age, marital status, race, Spanish origin, income, occupation,
transportation to work, and education.

SUMMARY = The primary purpose of the five sets of surveys that
comprise the National Longitudinal Surveys is the collection of
data on the labor force experience of specific age-sex groups of
Americans: Older Men aged 45-59 in 1966, Mature Women aged 30-44
in 1967, Young Men aged 14-24 in 1966, Young Women aged 14-24 in
1968, and Youth aged 14-21 in 1979. Each of the 1960s cohorts has
been surveyed 12 or more times over the years, and the Youth
cohort has been surveyed yearly since 1979. The major topics
covered within the surveys of each cohort include: (1) labor
market experience variables (including labor force participation,
unemployment, job history, and job mobility), (2) socioeconomic
and human capital variables (including education, training,
health and physical condition, marital and family characteristics,
financial characteristics, and job attitudes), and (3) selected
environmental variables (size of labor force and unemployment
rates for local area). While the surveys of each cohort have
collected data on the above core sets of variables, cohort-
specific data have been gathered over the years focusing on the
particular stage of labor market attachment that each group was
experiencing. Thus, the surveys of young people have collected
data on their educational goals, high school and college
experiences, high school characteristics, and occupational
aspirations and expectations, as well as military service. The
surveys of women have gathered data on topics such as fertility,
child care, responsibility for household tasks, care of parents,
volunteer work, attitudes towards women working, and job
discrimination. As the older-aged cohorts of men and women
approached labor force withdrawal, surveys for these groups
collected information on their retirement plans, health status,
and pension benefits. Respondents within the 1979 Youth cohort
have been the focus of a number of special surveys, including the
collection of data on: (1) last secondary school attended,
including transcript information and selected
aptitude/intelligence scores, (2) test scores from the Armed
Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB), (3) illegal
activities participation including police contacts, and (4)
alcohol use and substance abuse. Finally, the 1986 and 1988
surveys of the Youth cohort included the administration of a
battery of cognitive-socioemotional assessments to the
approximately 7,000 children of the female 1979 Youth respondents.
Data for the five cohorts are provided within main file releases,
i.e., Mature Women 1967-1989, Young Women 1968-1991, Young Men
1966-1981, Older Men 1966-1990, and NLSY (Youth) 1979-1992. In
addition, the following specially constructed data files are
available: (1) a file that specifies the relationships among
members of the four original cohorts living in the same household
at the time of the initial surveys, i.e., husband-wife,
mother-daughter, brother-sister, etc., (2) an NLSY workhistory
tape detailing the week-by-week labor force attachment of the
youth respondents from 1978 through the most current survey date,
(3) an NLSY child-mother file linking the child assessment data
to other information on children and mothers within the NLSY, (4)
a supplemental NLSY file of constructed and edited fertility
variables, (5) a women's support network tape detailing the
geographic proximity of the relatives, friends, and acquaintances
of 6,308 female NLSY respondents who were interviewed during the
1983-1985 surveys, and (6) two 1989 Mature Women's pension file
detailing information on pensions and other employer-provided
benefits.

COLLECTION NOTE = (1) Due to the consolidation of files and
removal of obsolete errata files, there are no Parts 45, 66, 114,
115, or 117 in this collection. These data occupy over 30 reels
of tape when written at 6,250 bpi, and over 120 reels when
written at 1,600 bpi. Due to the magnitude of this collection,
interested users should initially request the introductory report
that describes the file structure and content prior to submitting
their orders. Codebooks are electronic although some
supplementary materials are available only on microfiche. Numeric
and KWIC indexes and various attachments are supplied as
electronic files. Users will need to order Numeric and KWIC indexes
along with data files to determine column locations for
variables. (2) A change has been made to the structure of the
1979-1992 Youth Workhistory data file. The size of the file
necessitated splitting the data into two records per case. The
first record contains the data for the A, HOURS and DUALJOBS
arrays and the second record contains the remainder of the data
pertaining to specific job characteristics, gaps in employment,
and summary labor force activity variables.
SAMPLING = Each of the first four cohorts is represented by a
national probability sample of approximately 5,000 individuals--
1,500 Blacks and 3,500 Whites. These four ''original cohorts''
have been interviewed at least once in every two-year period
since the 1960s. Retention rates have remained high, with around
two-thirds of the active samples continuing to be interviewed.
Three independent probability samples, designed to be
representative of the entire population of youth born in the
United States between 1957 and 1964, were drawn for the NLSY: (1)
a cross-sectional sample of 6,111 respondents designed to be
representative of the noninstitutionalized civilian segment of
American young people aged 14-21 as of January 1, 1979, (2) a
supplemental sample of 5,295 respondents designed to oversample
civilian Hispanic, Black, and economically disadvantaged
non-Hispanic, non-Black youth, and (3) a military sample of 1,280
respondents designed to represent the population aged 17-21 as of
January 1, 1979, and serving in the military as of September 30,
1978. The retention rate for the NLSY, interviewed yearly since
1979, remains at over 90 percent. The military sample was
interviewed from 1979-1984.
UNIVERSE = Five cohorts are represented in this collection: Older
Men aged 45 to 59 years of age in 1966, Mature Women aged 30 to
44 years in 1967, Young Men aged 14 to 24 years in 1966, Young
Women aged 14 to 24 years in 1968, and NLSY (Youth--both males
and females) aged 14 to 21 years in 1979.

SUMMARY: These data represent the fourth in a series of data
collection efforts begun in 1972 to gather information on the
careers and political perspectives of delegates to the
Democratic and Republican National Conventions. Respondents
were asked questions regarding their political participation
and preferences, life histories, political goals and
expectations, and affiliations with various groups in
society. The dataset also documents delegates' attitudes
toward political actors such as Jimmy Carter, Ted Kennedy,
Ronald Reagan, George Bush, Walter Mondale, Jesse Jackson, Michael
Dukakis, Al Gore, Bob Dole, and Jack Kemp, among many others.
Attitudes toward the women's movement, the moral majority,
gay rights groups, abortion, environmentalists, business
interests, defense, and minorities are among the issues
also investigated.

SUMMARY: The Epidemiologic Catchment Area (ECA) program of research was initiated in response to the 1977
report of the President's Commission on Mental Health. The purpose was to collect data on the prevalence and
incidence of mental disorders and on the use of and need for services by the mentally ill. The ECA Survey is the
largest and most comprehensive survey of mental disorders ever conducted in the United States. The scope and
complexity of the survey design were made possible because of the confluence of the recent standardization of
psychiatric diagnostic criteria and the availability of advanced computer data processing systems. Independent
research teams at five universities (Yale, Johns Hopkins, Washington University, Duke University, and University of
California at Los Angeles), in collaboration with NIMH, conducted the studies with a core of common questions and
sample characteristics. The sites were areas that had previously been designated as Community Mental Health
Center catchment areas (New Haven, CN, Baltimore, MD, St. Louis, MO, Durham, NC, and Los Angeles, CA).
The ECA encompassed a Household Survey and an Institutional Survey at each site, with two waves of personal
interviews administered one year apart and a brief telephone interview in between. The structured psychiatric
diagnostic interview used in the ECA was the NIMH Diagnostic Interview Schedule (DIS), version III (with the
exception of the Yale Wave I survey, which used version II). Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 3rd
edition (DSM-III) diagnoses derived from the DIS include manic episode, major depressive episode, dysthymia,
bipolar disorder, alcohol abuse or dependence, drug abuse or dependence, schizophrenia, schizophreniform,
obsessive compulsive disorder, phobia, somatization, panic, antisocial personality, and anorexia nervosa. The
DIS elicits diagnoses across the respondent's full life span and also indicates when symptoms appeared during the
last year (within last two weeks, last month, last six months, and last full year). The DIS uses the Mini-Mental State
Examination to screen, when respondents appear confused, for cognitive impairment and inability to complete the
interview, and continuation by a proxy interview.
SOURCE: personal interviews
UNIVERSE: Community Mental Health Center catchment areas (defined as geographic areas with populations
of 75,000-250,000) in the United States. A minimum population size of 200,000 was required at each site,
to enable study of specific mental disorders that have prevalence rates below one percent in the general
population. The household population was defined as all persons 18 years or older, residing in a household
geographically located within the catchment area and having no other usual place of residence.
SAMPLE: Multistage probability sampling was used at each site, with initial sampling from geographic clusters
at some sites, and household and respondent samples at all sites. There was a minimum sample size at each site
of 3,000 adults in the Household Survey, and a minimum of 500 residents of institutions. Elderly household residents
were oversampled at the New Haven, Durham, and Baltimore sites. The St. Louis site oversampled Blacks and the
Los Angeles site oversampled Hispanics.
NOTE: The age distribution across the five sites, is: ages 18-44 (N = 8,773), ages 45-54 (N = 1,732),
ages 55-64 (N = 2,355), ages 65-74 (N = 3,503), ages 75-84 (N = 1,759), ages 85-94 (N = 420), ages 95+ (N = 22).
The data contain blank and dash (-) codes. ICPSR produced the EBCDIC data file and accompanying OSIRIS
dictionary for this release from a SAS system file provided by NIMH. This study is replaced by EPIDEMIOLOGIC
CATCHMENT AREA STUDY, 1980-1985: [UNITED STATES] (ICPSR 6153).

SUMMARY: The General Social Surveys (GSS) are designed as part of a program of social indicator research,
replicating questionnaire items and wording in order to facilitate time trend studies. This collection is a cumulative
dataset that merges 19 years of the General Social Surveys. In 1993, the topical module focused on culture.
Respondents were queried about musical preferences, leisure time activities, television viewing, desired attributes
of friends, important areas of life, the meaning of life, basic values, collective memory, favorite high school course,
and college majors. Questions from the International Social Survey Program (ISSP) module covered scientific and
environmental knowledge, pro-environmental activities (e.g., recycling, joining a ''green'' organization), concern
about matters such as air and water pollution, global warming, and nuclear energy, and support for various
governmental programs to deal with environmental problems. The National Academy of Sciences' Panel on Poverty
and Family Assistance sponsored three items on perceptions of poverty and minimum income. New data for 1993 were
added for household structure, ISCO (International Standard Classification of Occupation) codes, SEI (Socioeconomic Index)
occupational codes, and date of interview.
SOURCE: personal interviews
UNIVERSE: All noninstitutionalized English-speaking persons 18 years of age or older, living in the United States.
SAMPLE: National Opinion Research Center national probability sample. Block quota sampling was used in 1972-1974
and for half of the 1975 and 1976 surveys. Full probability sampling was employed in 1977, 1978, 1980, 1982-1991,
1993, and in half of the 1975 and 1976 surveys.

SUMMARY: This data collection was designed to determine the nature and extent of victimization in state
prisons across the nation. In particular, it examines such quantitative areas as prison living conditions, prison
programs, prison safety, and inmates' participation in or victimization by other inmates in several types of property
and bodily crimes. It also contains a set of attitudinal measures dealing with inmates' thoughts and perceptions
on a variety of subjects including their reactions to general statements about prison life and to a series of
hypothetical situations. Data are available in both OSIRIS and card-image formats, with machine-readable
documentation. The data file contains 339 variables for each of the 487 cases and has a logical record length
of 545 characters.

SUMMARY: This data collection describes every death or fetal death registered per year in the United States
from 1968-1991. Information includes the month and day of death for deaths prior to 1989 and the month of death
for deaths in 1989 and after, the sex of the deceased, the age of the deceased at the time of death, the deceased's
place of residence, place of death, and whether an autopsy was performed. Causes of death are coded using the
eighth and ninth revisions of THE INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF DISEASES.
SOURCE: death certificates filed in vital statistics offices of each state and the District of Columbia
UNIVERSE: All deaths in the United States.
NOTE: There are no Parts 1-5 for this collection. The Reason-for-Death codes for 1968-1978 are different from
those in subsequent years. A revised United States Standard Certificate of Death was recommended for state use
beginning on January 1, 1989. Among the changes were the addition of a new item on educational attainment
and changes to improve the medical certification of cause of death. In addition, for the first time, the United States
Standard Certificate of Death includes a question on the Hispanic origin of the decedent. Starting with the 1989
vital event files, a new policy on the release of vital statistics unit record data files was implemented to prevent the
inadvertent disclosure of the identities of individuals and institutions. As a result, the 1989 and later year files do not
contain the actual day of the death or date of birth of the decedent. The geographic detail is also restricted. The
previous title for this collection was MORTALITY DETAIL FILES, 1968-1978 [VOLUME I], 1979-1980 [VOLUME II],
1981-1982 [VOLUME III], 1983-1984 [VOLUME IV], 1985 [VOLUME V], 1986-1987 [VOLUME VI], 1988 [VOLUME VII],
and 1989 [VOLUME VIII]. The EXTENT OF PROCESSING field applies to Parts 6-18 of this collection only. For Parts
19-29, the following descriptors apply: NONNUM/ BLANKS/ MDATA.
EXTENT OF COLLECTION: 24 data files + machine-readable documentation (text).
RESTRICTIONS: In preparing the data tape(s) for this collection, the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS)
has removed direct identifiers and characteristics that might lead to identification of data subjects. As an additional
precaution, NCHS requires, under section 308(d) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 242m), that data
collected by NCHS not be used for any purpose other than statistical analysis and reporting. NCHS further requires
that analysts not use the data to learn the identity of any persons or establishments and that the director of NCHS
be notified if any identities are inadvertently discovered. ICPSR member institutions and other users ordering data from
ICPSR are expected to adhere to these restrictions.

SUMMARY = This study examines people's perceptions of the
entrepreneurial process, the various sources of help and
hindrance that beginning businesses encounter, the impact of new
businesses on the economy, and the experiences of individuals
involved in creating new businesses. Representative adults in
Wisconsin were asked for their opinions regarding entrepreneurs
and business opportunity, and were also asked about their own
backgrounds and careers, and about any entrepreneurs in their own
families or social networks. Individuals identified as
entrepreneurs during the representative adult interview were
asked about their knowledge of public and private sources of
assistance for small business, their reactions to the state and
local infrastructures, sources of financing they may have
employed, start-up problems, products or services offered, and
the nature of ownership of their business. Owners and managers of
new firms that were identified by new unemployment insurance
filings were asked about past and current sales, job creation,
out-of-state exports, current management focus, and future plans
for their businesses.

population of Wisconsin, nascent and discouraged entrepreneurs,
and new firms. A random sample of the adult population of
Wisconsin was augmented by further sampling of the minority
population using purchased phone lists, state agency listings,
and oversampling of minority-rich regions of Wisconsin. Nascent and
discouraged entrepreneurs were nominated or self-nominated during
the representative adult interviews (network/multiplicative
sampling). For new firms, several sampling methods were employed.
One random sample was drawn from new unemployment insurance
filings stratified for geographical region and industry, and a
second sample from new unemployment insurance filers considered
to have a high technology emphasis. Additional new firm
interviews were conducted with respondents identified as managers
of new firms during the representative adult interviews. A sample
of new Native American firms was generated from lists of Native
American businesses and from the personal contacts of the study
staff.
UNIVERSE = Adult population of Wisconsin, nascent and discouraged

SUMMARY: For this panel survey a national sample of high school seniors and their parents were interviewed in
1965, and again in 1973 and 1982. The survey gauges the impact of life-stage events and historical trends on the
behaviors and attitudes of respondents. Each wave has a distinct focus. The 1965 data focus on high school
experiences, while the 1973 data deal with the protest era. Data gathered in 1982 emphasize the maturing process
and offer information relating to parental issues and family relationships. Other major areas of investigation include
political participation, issue positions, group evaluations, civic orientations, personal change over time, stability in
attitudes and behaviors over time, and partisanship and electoral behavior.
SOURCE: personal interviews and self-enumerated forms
UNIVERSE: All twelfth-graders in the United States in 1965.
SAMPLE: The original 1965 youth sample was chosen from a national probability sample of 97 secondary schools
(including 11 nonpublic schools) selected with a probability proportionate to their size. Within each school, 15 to 21
randomly designated seniors were interviewed. In 1973, 1,119 of the original 1,669 youths who completed the 1965
interview were reinterviewed, and an additional 229 completed mail-back questionnaires. In 1982, 958 youths were
reinterviewed, and 82 completed mail-back questionnaires. The 1965 parents were selected randomly such that for
one-third of the students the fathers were interviewed, for another one-third the mothers were interviewed, and for
the remaining third both parents were interviewed. In 1973, 1,118 of the original 1,562 parents were reinterviewed,
and 62 completed mail-back questionnaires. In 1982, 816 parents were reinterviewed, and 82 completed mail-back
questionnaires.
NOTE: This data collection combines all three waves of this study. The first two waves of this collection are
released as YOUTH-PARENT SOCIALIZATION PANEL STUDY, 1965-1973 (ICPSR 7779). The third wave is
released as YOUTH-PARENT SOCIALIZATION PANEL STUDY, 1965-1982: WAVE III (ICPSR 9134).

SUMMARY: These data were collected to assess the importance of
campaign dynamics and the impact of events in the understanding of
election results. The study consists of five related surveys grouped
around two main survey components: the referendum surveys and the
election surveys. Respondents participated in at least two surveys,
but not in all five. The election surveys were completed just prior
to and after the October 25, 1993, Canadian election, and consist of
campaign period, post-election, and mail-back components. The
referendum surveys were completed just prior to and after the
October 26, 1992, referendum on the Charlottetown Accord. The
Charlottetown Accord contained various proposals, including
the separation of Quebec from Canada as a sovereignty, the
guarantee of one-quarter of the seats in the House of Commons
to Quebec, and recognition of the right of Canada's aboriginal
peoples to govern themselves. The major areas of investigation
across all surveys were political and social awareness, attitudes,
voting intentions, and behavior centered around major issues of
representation, job and employment, government
spending, taxes, social programs, crime and punishment, and
continentalism. Variables assessed public interest in the referendum
by asking respondents about the perceived effect of the
referendum on their living standards, their vote intentions,
predictions of the outcome of the vote, reactions to the
results of the vote, knowledge about and opinions of specific
provisions of the Accord, and awareness of the stand taken by
political leaders, groups, and organizations regarding the Accord.
Other variables probed respondents' opinions of the parties and
leaders, Kim Campbell's performance in her cabinet job
before she became Prime Minister, women and racial minorities, party
preference, ideological leanings, vote history, and position on
several policy issues. Additional items address general attitudes
toward the deficit and higher taxes, abortion, Senate reform,
aboriginal people, Canadian unity and Quebec sovereignty, feminists,
homosexuals, immigrants, the business community, the media, unions,
God, democracy, unemployment, inflation, and pensions. Demographic
data collected on respondents include age, marital status, level of
education, employment status, income level, religious affiliation,
union affiliation, citizenship, ethnicity, language, and gender.
UNIVERSE: Adult noninstitutionalized population of Canada living in
households.
SAMPLING: A rolling cross-section sample of Canadian citizens 18
years of age or older in private homes who speak one of Canada's
official languages in the ten Canadian provinces.

SUMMARY: Three studies are included in this set of national Canadian election surveys of 1972. All three were
conducted by telephone, two were administered prior to the national election, and one following the October 31st
election date. The first study, conducted between June and July 1972, focused on the respondents' opinions of the
political parties, and of issues and personalities in Federal politics. The issues that were assessed included inflation,
constitutional reform, campaign spending, marijuana legislation, and the right of federal employees to strike. The
respondents were also asked to assess the performance of the Prime Minister and also the qualifications of the main
opposition candidates. Finally, the respondents were asked about their partisan affiliation and their voting behavior
over the past few elections. The dataset included information on 1,000 respondents (two cards of data per respondent).
The only demographic information in this study is the sex of the respondent. The second study was conducted in
September 1972 and assessed the respondents' opinions on political issues such as unemployment,
Canadian/United States relations, environment, taxes, price controls, and certain federal programs. In addition, the
respondents were questioned about their candidate preference, partisan identification, and party preference for the
upcoming election. Basic demographic data were also included for the 1,255 respondents (three cards of data per
respondent). The third study in this series was administered in early November. The respondents were asked to evaluate
the federal election campaign, the candidates, parties, and political issues. The respondents were also questioned
about their voting behavior in both the federal and local elections. Two forms of questionnaires were used, one for
voters and the other for non-voters. Demographic information was obtained for all respondents. The dataset contains
information on approximately 1,298 respondents (four cards of data per respondent).
SUBJECT TERMS: campaigns. candidates. constitutional reform. election studies. elections. environment.
inflation. political attitudes and behavior. political issues. political parties. political party preference.

SUMMARY: This collection, containing information on the voting behavior
and political attitudes of Canadians, consists of three waves of data
gathered before and after the 1988 Canadian national election. The first
wave, conducted by telephone in October and November 1988 before the
November 21st election, focused on respondents' interest in the
election, perceptions of the media, voting intentions, attitudes toward
policy and campaign issues, assessments of government performance, and
ratings of leaders, parties, and candidates. Other items included
respondents' sociodemographic and economic characteristics, as well as
party, candidate, and constituency identification. The second wave,
conducted by telephone after the election from November 1988 through
January 1989, contained some of the same items covered in the first wave
but also included questions on voting behavior, campaign activities, and
groups in Canadian society, along with a special battery on free trade.
The third wave, conducted by mail from December 1988 through March 1989,
explored fiscal priorities, the economy, policy issues, changes to
Canadian society, political efficacy, societal goals, capitalist values,
rights and liberties, and conceptions of community.
SOURCE: telephone interviews, and mailed questionnaires
UNIVERSE: Canadian citizens, 18 years of age or older, resident in one
of the provinces (excluding the Yukon and Northwest Territories).
SAMPLE: Probability sample by random digit dialing stratified by
province. There was an official-language minority oversample for

SUMMARY: This study is a continuation of the 1974 Canadian Election Study which consisted of extensive personal
interviews with a national sample of 2,562 respondents following the federal election of July 8, 1974. Immediately
following the federal election of May 22, 1979, 1,295 of the original respondents were successfully contacted and
interviewed, thereby creating a 1974-1979 panel study. In addition, a new national sample of the l979 electorate
and a supplementary sample of young voters (age 18-23) were drawn and personal interviews utilizing the same
questionnaire were conducted with respondents in these samples. After the federal election of February 18, 1980,
1,748 respondents in both the panel and cross-section samples were contacted by telephone and reinterviewed.
No new respondents were added to the 1980 sample. When the Quebec referendum was called for May 20, 1980,
a decision was made to again contact by telephone Quebec respondents original sampled in l974 or 1979 and
interviewed in 1980. 325 of these respondents were successfully contacted and reinterviewed, approximately half of the
interviews were conducted immediately prior to the referendum, and the remaining half immediately afterward. The
1974 post election survey covered a wide range of areas involving citizen participation in politics. The 1979 survey
continued the theme of citizen interest and involvement in politics and probed into respondents' attitudes about
regions, provinces, and national unity. The 1980 telephone interview asked about vote choice in 1980, party
identification, and also brought up the issue of energy. The Quebec referendum centered around the respondents'
views on constitutional options for Quebec. The study is available in card-image and logical record length format.
An OSIRIS dataset can be supplied. Processing of this study to its present form was carried out at the University of
Windsor under the supervision of Kai Hildebrandt.

SUMMARY = This study was conducted as part of the ''Support for
Democratic Polities: The Case of Canada'' study funded by the
United States National Science Foundation. Its purpose was to
study the political attitudes and behavior of the Canadian
electorate. The 1990 survey represented one of a series of
interlocking panels, the others being 1988 pre- and post-election
surveys (see POLITICAL SUPPORT IN CANADA, 1983-1988 [ICPSR 9874])
and the 1993 post-election survey. The 1990 survey's 161
variables are derived from an extensive battery of questions on
respondents' evaluations of national and personal economies and
their support for national political authorities and for regional
and community politics. Respondents were asked to indicate how
closely they followed politics, how much they discussed and
participated in politics, and how warm or cool (on a 100-degree
scale) they felt toward the country, their community, and
government at several levels, including political parties and
party leaders. They were asked to state their agreement or
disagreement with a number of attitudinal statements regarding
taxes, equal treatment of citizens by the federal government,
equal representation and opportunities for participation in
government, and economic opportunity. Specific opinions were
obtained on the Meech Lake Accord, the North American Free Trade
Agreement (NAFTA), and the separation of Quebec. A number of
questions asked respondents to assess their own economic welfare
as well as its relation to the federal government's management of
the national economy. Membership in national and regional parties
was identified. Also included are demographic characteristics of
respondents, such as occupation, education, language, age, life
satisfaction, and income.

SUMMARY = The purpose of this data collection was to study the
distribution, causes, and consequences of public support for
Canada's national political authorities, regime, and community.
Major areas of investigation include political attitudes,
electoral behavior, conventional and unconventional forms of
political behavior, evaluations of government performance
(economy and other policy areas), and judgments of the equity and
fairness of the political system. The surveys included in the
collection have cross-sectional and panel components which permit
the study of the dynamics of Canadian political attitudes and
behavior. Specific variables for Part 1, 1988 National Pre-
Election Survey Raw Data, include respondents' party affiliation,
voting history, language, and cultural group affiliation, as well
as opinions on the free trade agreement, the most important issue
in the election, and which leaders were most impressive in the
debates. Variables in Part 2, 1988 Post-Election Survey and 1988
Pre-Post Election Panel Survey Raw Data, cover respondents'
opinions on free trade, civil service, taxes, trusting federal
officials, and protection of the environment. For Part 3, 1983
National Cross-Sectional Survey Raw Data, information is provided
on topics such as the respondents' involvement in the campaign,
opinions on the effectiveness of the judicial system, Parliament,
and taxation policies, and views on the importance of the welfare
system, the armed forces, and employment opportunities. Data in
Part 4, 1984 National Cross-Sectional Survey and 1983-1984
National Panel Survey Raw Data, cover respondents' views on the
most important election issue for them as opposed to the most
important issue for the candidates. All files offer demographic
information as well, including age, race, sex, religious
affiliation, education, occupation, employment status, and income
level.

SUMMARY = The British Election Study series conducted at the
University of Essex has the overall purposes of providing an
accurate and comprehensive historical record of the attitudes and
behavior of the British electorate at the general elections, to
study long-term political and electoral change in Britain, and to
contribute to an accumulating archive of data on the political
attitudes and behavior of the British electorate over time. The
February 1974 cross-section interviewed 2,462 eligible electors
in Britain. The personal interviews took place in March-April
1974. Respondents were selected into a multi-stage, self-weighting,
stratified, probability sample. The focus of the interview was
the general election of February 28, 1974. Respondents answered
questions relating to the mass media, to political parties, to
their past voting behavior, and regarding their attitudes toward a range of social issues relating to domestic and foreign affairs.
Other sets of questions probed for opinions on social mores and
life satisfaction. Standard background variables are included.
These data were provided by the Social Science Research Council
Survey Archive, University of Essex, England. The data and
accompanying documentation are disseminated, under an agreement
with the SSRC, exactly as they were received, without
modification by ICPSR. This agreement also provides that ICPSR
will disseminate the data only for use within ordering
institutions and that users wishing multiple copies of the
documentation must obtain them from SSRC.

SUMMARY = Respondents were interviewed for this cross-section
survey following the 1992 British General Election. Part 1, Main
Data File, covers the political and social attitudes and life
experiences of the respondents, including their political
interests and party preferences, opinions on comparisons between
various parties, employment and union affiliations, and life
satisfaction. Numerous questions are replications from previous
British Election Studies and British Social Attitudes Surveys.
The ''international'' scales in the cross-section personal
interview questionnaire were taken from previous American
National Election Studies. In addition, a split-sample experiment
was conducted to detect whether there was a question-order
effect, with respect to whether respondents were asked first
about their vote and then about their party identification or
vice versa. Demographic data such as sex, age, region, and
religious preference appear in this file as well. Part 2, Sample
Demographic File, includes information on sex, age, and region of
residence for all 5,232 persons in the original sample.

SERIES NAME = BRITISH GENERAL ELECTION SURVEYS
SERIES INFO = The British Election Study (BES) at the University
of Essex was initiated in 1974 to continue the series of election
surveys previously conducted by David Butler and Donald Stokes
(Political Change in Britain, 1963-1970). Surveys were conducted
following the general elections of February 1974, October 1974,
and May 1979, and following the Referendum on Britain's
membership in the European Economic Community in 1975. The series
has continued under the name British General Election Surveys
(BGES), with surveys carried out at the time of the general
elections of 1983, 1987, and 1992. The British General Election
Survey has three general aims: (1) to collect data with a view to
describing and explaining the outcome of general elections, (2)
to analyze long-term changes in political attitudes and behavior
from the early 1960s to the present, and (3) to organize and make
available these data in a form suitable for a wide range of
research. In 1992, a grant by the Economic and Social Research
Council (ESRC) to the University of Strathclyde enabled the
representation of Scottish electors in the sample to be boosted
substantially. This ''oversampling'' of the Scots was undertaken
to permit more detailed investigation of voting behavior in
Scotland than has usually been the case with the British General
Election Surveys.

SUMMARY: This collection contains data on crime and on relevant social, economic, and political measures
hypothesized to be related to crime for 52 nations over a 25-year period. These time-series data are divided into
five substantive areas: offense, offender, and national social, political, and economic data. Nations included in
the collection were drawn from seven major regions of the world.
SOURCE: (1) International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL), (2) the United Nations, (3) the World Bank,
(4) the International Monetary Fund, and (5) other national and international sources
UNIVERSE: All nations in the world.
SAMPLE: This is not a random sample, but the 52 nations in the collection were drawn from the seven major
regions of the world and represent a wide range of levels of development, types of economy, political environments,
and criminal justice system structures. Three criteria for selecting the sample were employed: (1) the nation had to
be a member of INTERPOL between the years 1960 and 1984, (2) the nation had to report crime data to the
Secretariat of INTERPOL between the years 1960 and 1984, and (3) the nation could skip no more than three of
INTERPOL's two-year crime data reporting periods.

SUMMARY: This data collection contains 28 attitudinal and 22 demographic variables selected from the
European Communities Studies, 1970-1973, and Euro-Barometers 3-31A. Question items chosen from the individual
surveys for inclusion in the cumulative file have appeared in at least four different surveys. Most items, however, were
included in nearly all of the studies carried out during the 19-year period from 1970 to 1989. Attitudinal variables
selected from the individual studies include respondent's overall life satisfaction, amount of social change desired,
left/right political orientation, support of the Common Market, strength of religious attachment, and the political party
for which the respondent would vote. Other variables record respondents' opinions on topics such as the unification of
Europe, elections to the European Parliament, nuclear power, income equality, terrorism, military defense, public
ownership vs. private industry, and pollution. Three indices constructed by the principal investigators--cognitive
mobilization, materialist/post-materialist values, and left/center/right vote--also are included.

STUDYNO = 07250
INVESTIGATOR = Butler, David, and Donald E. Stokes.
SUMMARY = The study was designed to investigate political change
in Great Britain using a panel technique. The main areas of
investigation were the party system, campaign issues, and social
class. Information on the political background of the respondent
as well as extensive demographic data were also collected. Semantic
differential questions were also included. Interviewing was
conducted in four waves. The first wave was in 1963, the second
wave followed the 1964 General Election, the third wave followed
the 1966 General Election, and the fourth wave followed the 1970
General Election. This study contains fourteen overlapping
samples. The 1963 wave constitutes a national cross-section
sample. For 1964 and 1966 there are electorate samples. The other
eleven samples are panels generated by the interviewing of
respondents. The data for all fourteen samples are contained in
one master file This master file consists of 2,922 respondents,
28 cards of data per respondent. Additionally, three subsets are
available as separate files: l) ICPSR 7232: this subset is the
1963 national cross-section sample which contains 2,009
respondents, 8 cards of data per respondent. 2) ICPSR 7233: the
second subset is the 1964 electorate sample which contains 1,769
respondents weighted to 1,817.5 with 7 cards of data per
respondent. 3) ICPSR 7234: the third subset is the 1966
electorate sample containing 1,874 respondents weighted to
1,898.6 with 6 cards of data per respondent. Requests for these
data should include the appropriate ICPSR study number(s). There
is a maximum of 1,246 variables for each respondent.

8297) was conducted in 1982. The series is a longitudinal study
of students who were high school sophomores and seniors in 1980.
As with the first follow-up, the structure and documentation of
High School and Beyond Second Follow-Up data files represent a
departure from base-year (1980) practices. While the base-year
student file contains data from both the senior and sophomore
cohorts, the two follow-up surveys provide separate student files
for the two cohorts. Each of the cohort files for this collection
merges the base year and first follow-up data with second
follow-up data. Data collected for the sophomore cohort second
follow-up differ substantially from data collected for the first
follow-up since by 1984 the majority of respondents were out of
high school and enrolled in postsecondary school, working, or
looking for work. File 1, the Sophomore Cohort Second Follow-up
Sample File, includes detailed questionnaire responses on
background information, education, other training, military
experience, work experience, periods unemployed, family
information, income, experiences, and opinions. Information is
also presented on the kind of school attended, hours per week
spent in class, degree, certificate or diploma being sought, and
requirements completed. Financial information in this file
includes items on tuition and fees, scholarships, and financial
aid from parents to the respondent and to any siblings. Work
history data, including occupation, industry, gross starting
salary, gross income, hours per week worked, and job
satisfaction, are available along with data on the family,
including the spouse's occupation and education, date of
marriage(s), and number of children. File 5, the Senior Cohort
Second Follow-up Sample File, repeats many of the same variables
that are present in the first follow-up for this cohort.
Respondents were asked to update background information, to
provide information about postsecondary education, work
experience, military service, family, income, and life goals. New
items include a limited series on computer literacy (e.g., use of
computers and software, knowledge of computer language), detailed
information on financial assistance received from parents for
pursuing postsecondary education, education and training outside
of regular school, college or military programs (on-the-job and
other employer-provided training), and periods of unemployment.
Files 9,11,12, and 13 contain transcript data from each
postsecondary institution reported by sample members of the High
School and Beyond elder cohort (1980 senior cohort) in their
responses to the High School and Beyond First Follow-up (1982)
and Second Follow-up (1984) surveys. Data are available for
several types of postsecondary institutions, ranging from
short-term vocational or occupational programs through major
universities with graduate programs and professional schools.
Data in these four rectangular files--Student, Transcript, Term,
and Course Files--are organized to be used in combination
hierarchically. Information is available on terms of attendance,
fields of study, specific courses taken, and grades and credits
earned. A supplementary survey, the Administrator and Teacher
Survey (ATS), was conducted in 1984 in approximately half of the
schools sampled in the original High School and Beyond study. The
ATS was designed to explore findings from research on effective
schools, which were defined as those schools in which students
perform at higher levels than would be expected from their
backgrounds and other factors. The ATS provides measures of staff
goals, school climates, and other processes identified in the
effective schools literature as being important for achieving
educational excellence. Separate questionnaires were administered
to teachers, administrators, vocational education coordinators,
and heads of guidance. Items in the questionnaires were selected
to complement information already in the High School and Beyond
database. Included were questions on staff goals, pedagogic
practices, interpersonal relations of staff, work load of
teachers, staff attitudes, availability and use of guidance
services, planning processes, hiring practices, special programs,
and linkages to local employers, parents, and the community.

SUMMARY = This data collection is designed to enable
crossnational comparison of basic values and norms in a wide
variety of areas. Broad topics covered are leisure, work, the
meaning and purpose of life, family life, and contemporary social
issues. In the section on leisure, respondents were asked whether
they preferred to spend their leisure time relaxing or being
active, about groups and associations to which they belonged, how
often they read a daily newspaper, the number of hours spent
watching television, whether they experienced feelings such as
loneliness, boredom, restlessness, depression, and happiness, if
they felt other people could be trusted, if they felt they had
free choice and control over their lives, and if they were
satisfied with life overall. Topics covered relating to work
include aspects important in a job, pride in work, satisfaction
with present job and financial situation, and owner/state/
employee management of business. A wide range of items was
included on the meaning and purpose of life, such as respondents'
views on the value of scientific advances, things in life that
were worth sacrificing everything for, opinions on good and evil,
and religious behavior and beliefs. Respondents were queried
regarding closeness among family members, their level of
satisfaction with their home life, if they shared the same
attitudes toward such things as religion, morality, politics, and
sexual mores with their partner and parents, their views on
marriage and divorce, and qualities important for a child to
learn. In the final section on social issues, areas covered
include the respondent's interest in politics, opinion of various
forms of political action, self-placement on a political
left/right scale and party identification, the most important
aims for their country, alcohol and alcoholism, confidence in
various civil and governmental institutions, and whether they
felt divorce, abortion, suicide, cheating on taxes, lying, and
other such actions were ever justified. Background information on
individuals includes age, sex, marital status, household
composition, employment, trade union membership, socioeconomic
status, and ethnicity.

INVESTIGATOR = World Values Study Group.
SUMMARY = This data collection is designed to enable
crossnational comparison of values and norms in a wide variety of
areas and to monitor changes in values and attitudes of mass
publics in 45 societies around the world. Broad topics covered
are work, the meaning and purpose of life, family life, and
contemporary social issues. Respondents were asked to rate the
importance of work, family, friends, leisure time, politics, and
religion in their lives. They were also asked how satisfied they
were with their present lives, whether they tended to persuade
others close to them, whether they discussed political matters,
and how they viewed society. Questions relating to work included
what aspects were important to them in a job, the pride they took
in their work, their satisfaction with the present job, and their
views on owner/state/employee management of business. Respondents
were asked about the groups and associations they belonged to and
which ones they worked for voluntarily, the level of trust they
had in most people, the groups they would not want as neighbors,
their general state of health, and whether they felt they had
free choice and control over their lives. A wide range of items
was included on the meaning and purpose of life, such as
respondents' views on the value of scientific advances, the
demarcation of good and evil, and religious behavior and beliefs.
Respondents were queried about whether they shared the same
attitudes toward religion, morality, politics, and sexual mores
with their partner and parents, their views on marriage and
divorce, qualities important for a child to learn, whether a
child needs both parents to grow up happy, views on mothers
working outside the home, views on abortion, and whether marriage
is an outdated institution. Questions regarding political issues
probed for respondents' opinions of various forms of political
action and the likelihood of their taking an action, the most
important aims for their countries, confidence in various civil
and governmental institutions, and whether they felt divorce,
abortion, suicide, cheating on taxes, lying, and other such
actions were ever justified. Additional information was gathered
on family income, number of people residing in the home, size of
locality, home ownership, region of residence, occupation of the
head of household, and the respondent's age, sex, occupation,
education, religion, religiosity, political party and union
membership, and left-right political self-placement.
