title: Network Analysis of Corporate Political Action, 1980 [United States]
title: Version 1

description: This study detailed the political behavior of 57 large corporations in the United States in 1980. These corporations were selected by identifying the three largest firms whose primary operations were in each of 19 two-digit industries and that maintained a political action committee in the election cycle prior to selection. The primary goal of the study was to examine the extent to which economic interdependence and social connections between firms affected their political unity, defined in terms of similarity of behavior. The concern was with questions such as whether pairs of firms that operated in heavily interdependent industries were more likely to engage in similar political behavior than were pairs of firms in less interdependent industries.

title: Polish General Social Survey, 1992-1994
title: Version 1

description: Conducted annually since 1992 by the Institute for Social Studies at the University of Warsaw, the Polish General Social Survey (PGSS) is designed to measure opinions and social characteristics of Polish society. The content of the survey changes somewhat from year to year, but core questions and the order in which they are asked have been kept intact, thus enabling comparative analyses across time. Some core PGSS questions replicate questions asked in the General Social Surveys of the United States and Germany. PGSS core variables include socioeconomic and demographic variables with an emphasis on stratification measures (occupation, labor force status, education, income) of respondents and their spouses and parents. In addition, there are attitudinal variables concerning political opinions and ideology, national spending, religious beliefs, social inequality, job and occupational values, tolerance, educational values, attitudes toward other countries, traditional sex roles, family issues, abortion, and homosexuality. Other variables gauge subjective well-being, social class identification, satisfaction with different spheres of life, and confidence in different public institutions. Respondents were also queried about their voting behavior, social interactions, religiosity, health, smoking, and drinking. Each year, additional topical modules of questions from the International Social Survey Program have been added: "Inequality II" (1992), "Environment" (1993), and "Family and Changing Gender Roles II" and "Sexual Behavior" (1994).

title: ABC News/Washington Post Poll, January 1994
title: Version 1

description: This poll is part of a continuing series of monthly surveys that solicit public opinion on the presidency and on a range of other political and social issues. Respondents were asked to identify the biggest problems facing the country and to comment on whether they thought the United States was generally going in the right direction or was on the wrong track. They were asked whether they approved of Bill Clinton's handling of his job as president, the nation's economy, the federal budget deficit, foreign affairs, and crime, and were asked for their impressions of Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Bob Dole, and Ross Perot. Questions covered whether Clinton was keeping most of his major campaign promises and whether the changes Clinton was seeking were mainly right or wrong. Clinton's progress as president in specific areas, such as reducing unemployment, improving the nation's economy, dealing with the federal budget deficit, improving the level of ethics in government, dealing with problems of the middle class, and improving health care, was probed in detail. Additional topics included the Whitewater real estate venture, Tonya Harding, the law limiting welfare benefits, Clinton's health care plan, and the government's involvement in the nation's health care system. Demographic background variables include political orientation, age, race, income, and education.

title: Northern Ireland Loyalty Study, 1968
title: Version 1

description: This study focused on religious and political issues in Northern Ireland. Catholic and Protestant relations were explored in terms of past differences, political party affiliations, discrimination, and intermarriage. Respondents were queried about the border and its effect on Northern Ireland, the constitutional position of their country, support for the government, the major political parties, and what they represented. Social class consciousness was probed in questions asking the respondents to describe members of various classes, to evaluate the problems of class conflict within the country, and to place themselves within the social class structure. Respondents' activities in clubs and organizations, extent of family ties, loyalty to their community, and their exposure to local and national news media were also explored. Demographic data include sex, age, religion, marital status, number of children, and occupation. A single questionnaire was administered to Protestants and Catholics, and only a small number of questions was asked of only one group or the other. Filtering for religion allows analysis of each group alone. The study contains several derived variables.

title: Organization for Comparative Social Research: Seven Nation Study
title: Version 1

description: This study surveyed primary and secondary school teachers in Belgium, Great Britain, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden, using the same questionnaire across all countries. France has 350 respondents, Norway 400, Germany 365, Sweden 443, the Netherlands 400, Belgium 400, and England 400. Questions in the first section of the interviews were directly related to the respondents' roles as teachers: their job satisfaction, estimates of the prestige of their jobs, comparisons of secondary and grammar school teachers and public and private school teachers, suggested educational reforms, teaching experience, and the influence of teachers as professionals on political and international affairs. In addition, respondents were asked open-ended questions probing their tolerance of political differences, their attitudes toward war, national defense efforts, and world government, their optimism or pessimism regarding international events, perceptions of other nationalities and their government's relationship with other countries, their identification of interest groups with influence in the government, and their political identification. Demographic variables include sex, age, marital status, number of children, other professional experience, and war experience.

title: Wildlife Recreation Survey, 1975
title: Version 1

description: This dataset contains survey data from the first phase of a two-phase study of the use and enjoyment of hunting, fishing, and associated wildlife recreation resources in the United States in 1975. Data were gathered about 322,908 individuals of all ages throughout the United States via telephone surveys conducted with heads of households (or if not possible, a knowledgeable household member over 18 years of age) who were asked questions about all members in the household. The study's 33 variables measure the amount of target shooting, plinking, firearm and bow hunting, fishing, photographing, crabbing, clamming, shell collecting, and wildlife observation each person engaged in during 1975. There are also several demographic variables, e.g., age, gender, state of residence, household size and income, and money spent on equipment for observing wildlife. The second phase of this survey, which is captured in the related dataset NATIONAL HUNTING AND FISHING SURVEY, 1975 (ICPSR 7772), contains data from a more detailed mail survey of a sample of hunters and fishermen drawn from the telephone sample in this study.

description: Persons living in the United States with telephones.
description: A probability sample of telephone exchanges in each of the 50 United States was drawn and distributed throughout each state. Depending on the proportion of the metro/non-metro residents, the number of metro to non-metro exchanges was selected on a 1:1 (nine states), 1:3 (seven states), or 1:2 (all other states) ratio, in order to enhance the possibility of identifying more hunters and fishermen for the follow-up mail survey phase (ICPSR 7772). Then a systematic random sample was drawn from all the four-digit numbers within the random banks of all sample exchanges. The subsequent seven-digit telephone numbers were then randomized within each state. A sufficient number of private-household telephone numbers was generated to allow the completion of approximately 2,000 household telephone interviews per state (with some exceptions), for a total of 106,294 households.

title: Consequences of Introducing Educational Testing in Northern Ireland, 1973-1977
title: Version 2

description: This dataset includes test scores for over 40,000 students in 175 Irish primary schools that were selected and randomly assigned to a variety of testing treatments as part of a four-year study. The goal of this research effort was to assess the effects of standardized tests and test results on teachers, students, and parents, as well as on school policy. Northern Ireland was chosen because of its developed educational system (in which the English language is used) and its prior lack of standardized testing. During the course of this study, three main testing treatments were implemented in all classrooms in each primary school: (1) no testing was done, (2) norm referenced ability and attainment testing was done in basic curricular areas (English, Irish, and mathematics), but pupil performance data were not returned to the teachers, and (3) norm referenced ability and attainment testing was done, and pupils' raw scores, percentiles, and standard scores were returned to teachers. This dataset contains the norm referenced test scores gathered over the course of the four-year study for each of eight primary age-group cohorts. Parts 1-6 contain scores from students who were in grades 1-6, respectively, during the first year of the study. Part 7 contains scores from students who were in grade 2 in the fourth (last) year of the study, and Part 8 contains the scores from students who were in grade 3 during the last year of the study. Background variables for each student (e.g., treatment group, school type, sex served by school, location of school, size of school, type of administration of school, school identification number, and student's sex) are also included.
