title: Structural properties of groups, 1976-1978: File 78n

description: This research is concerned with the development and validation of sociometric indices of the structural properties of groups. The 1976 study contained general questions about the group, its members, and the respondents' activities in relation to them. Sixteen questions were used to create interpersonal rating matrices from which sociometric measures of status differentiation, bias differentiation, status-bias concordance and differential mutuality were constructed. Scale analysis of 36 questions gave homogeneous and distinct scales of member heterogeneity, rejection of group, and permeability. In the 1977 study, six structural properties - consensus, role differentiation, fragmentation, status differentiation, solidarity and permeability - were measured by quantitative sociometric procedures. Consensus was measured in two ways: by means of an open question and with 28 statements about desirable behaviours. Two questions were used to determine role differentiation, four questions for fragmentation, five questions for status differentiation and two questions for solidarity. A second instrument containing statements that described the group directly on these five structural properties, among other characteristics, was administered both to group member and to outside informants. An index of permeability was determined by the rate of membership turnover reported by members for the previous year. Groups in the 1978-79 study were given an abbreviated form of the 1977 questionnaire to allow differences among group types to be examined.

title: Australian Longitudinal Survey, 1984: Wave 1, Level 1

description: This is the first wave of the Australian Longitudinal Survey which will run each year from 1984 until at least 1987. This 1984 wave surveyed a sample of 3,000 people aged 15-24, drawn from Commonwealth Employment Service registers. After 1984 this group will be surveyed again and be supplemented by a similarly continuing population survey of 9,000 people of the same age cohort drawn randomly across Collector's Districts matching the CES offices from which the list sample was selected. The survey is aimed principally at examining questions related to long-term unemployment which are difficult to address using available sources of cross-sectional data. Labour market variables include job history, job search behaviour, job training and transition from school/study to work. Background variables and topics related to the main labour market theme include education, occupation, health, and attitudes to women working. Basic demographic variables include age, sex, size of household, country of birth, racial origin, parental education and occupation, spouse's education and occupation, religion, income and whether resident in an urban or rural area.

title: South Australian work experience survey, 1983

description: This study's aim was to gain a clearer picture of how schools organised their work experience programs and what type of employment students were placed in. It is the first comprehensive State-wide examination of Work Experience Programs in South Australian schools. The first three sections of the report cover information on placements, numbers involved, locations, problems, abuses and difficulties. The survey indicates difficulties arising from lack of resources/time in schools, inadequate counselling of students, limited contact with employers and extremely sex-stereotyped placements. Topics covered were the numbers of male and female students enrolled in the program and the numbers placed in employment in each secondary grade; the number of teachers who assisted with the organisation of the program; assessment of the adequacy of time allocated to the program; strategies for locating employers willing to participate; counselling of students and follow up activities; problems encountered with the program; views on the aims of the program, and whether these aims had been met well; opinions on the amount of support needed from within the school to effectively run a program; and the numbers of male and female students placed, within specified broad occupational groupings. Background information was also collected on the location of the school and the total number of secondary enrolments.

title: Ethnic aged in Melbourne and Sydney, 1984

description: This study was conducted with the aim of providing quantitative data on the ethnic aged still living at home, as well as providing comparative data for use with other studies without an ethnic focus (see SSDA Study No. 210, Non-institutionalised aged in Sydney, 1981). Interviews were conducted with persons aged 60 years and over in private dwellings in Melbourne and Sydney, who were born in China, Germany, Greece, Italy, Poland and Yugoslavia. Topics covered include types of living arrangements, extent of family and community support, use of domiciliary and welfare services, problems experienced at home due to health, income or family circumstances, and unmet needs. Information was also collected on health status, physical mobility and independence, utilisation of services, employment and income, informal support networks and leisure activities including media usage. Background details include age, sex, birthplace of respondent, partner and parents, language facility, marital status and religious affiliation.

title: Impact of multicultural television, Adelaide, 1985-1986

description: This study was carried out in two stages throughout 1985 and 1986. A pre-transmission study, before the arrival of SBS-TV in Adelaide, was carried out in May and June 1985, and a post-transmission follow-up was conducted in June 1986. The study's principal aims were to assess the impact of multicultural television on Adelaide viewers, and the extent to which SBS-TV was meeting its broadcasting and programming objectives. The pre-transmission survey provided rich baseline data on community attitudes, media habits, and respondent profiles. It included an attitudinal scale consisting of twenty-nine items regarding migrants and immigration, and social distance and social interaction measures. The Adelaide post-transmission survey included the same attitudinal measures as used in the pre-transmission survey (See Multicultural Television, Adelaide, 1985, pre-transmission survey). The more specific objectives of the study were to identify a profile of viewers and non-viewers; measure audience reactions to program content, type, scheduling and subtitling; assess the educational role of multicultural television; examine the role of multicultural television in informing, educating, and entertaining special needs groups; evaluate the role of multicultural television in assisting the settlement process of non-English speaking migrants; measure the extent to which multicultural television supplements existing services; and, gauge, in a longitudinal context, the effectiveness of multicultural television in promoting tolerance, self-esteem, understanding and multiculturalism. Topics covered were patterns of media usage (newspapers, radio and television); level of information on UHF and SBS-TV in Adelaide; perceived aims of multicultural television; government support for multicultural programs; and a twenty-nine item attitudinal scale, covering migrants and immigration, social distance and social interaction. The follow-up survey also included questions on multicultural television programming, types of programs, satisfaction with viewing, and frequency of viewing. Background information included age, sex, birthplace, occupation, education level, language facility, marital status, income and ethnic identity.

title: Community Attitudes Towards Domestic Violence, Australia, 1987

description: In December 1987 a national survey was conducted to assess community attitudes towards domestic violence in Australia. The objectives of the survey were to broadly assess community perceptions on domestic violence; to identify key issues or attitudes which require attention; to provide benchmark data to monitor the effectiveness of an information campaign; and to identify attitudinal and demographic groups in the community to be targeted in such a campaign. Topics covered include perceptions of problems facing families, and the Australian community; perceptions of domestic violence as a problem; the acceptability of physical force; those at risk from, and those responsible for, domestic violence; the justification under different circumstances for a range of actions, and whether these actions are classified as domestic violence; help for victims; attitudes to common community statements on domestic violence; and whether the respondent knows personally a victim of, or someone responsible for, domestic violence. Background variables include age, sex, residence, education level, marital status, ethnic grouping, job status, occupation and household composition.

title: Australian Longitudinal Survey, 1985: Wave 2, Level 1

description: This is the second wave of the Australian Longitudinal Survey (ALS) which will run each year from 1984 until at least 1987. The 1985 wave surveyed a sample of 2400 people who were first interviewed in 1984 (see SSDA Study No. 377, Australian Longitudinal Survey, 1984: Wave 1, Level 1). The 1984 sample comprised people aged 15-24 years (in 1984) and was drawn from Commonwealth Employment Service registers. This preliminary release of the 1985 sample contains only data from the 1985 interview schedule. A future release will include summary variables derived from the original 1985 data, as well as comparable information collected for each respondent from the 1984 Wave 1 of the survey. The survey is aimed principally at examining questions related to long-term unemployment which are difficult to address using available sources of cross-sectional data. Labour market variables include job history, job search behaviour, job training and transition from school/study to work. Background variables and topics related to the main labour market theme include education, occupation, health, and attitudes to women working. Basic demographic variables include age, sex, size of household, country of birth, racial origin, parental education and occupation, spouse's education and occupation, religion, income and whether resident in an urban or rural area.

title: Australian Longitudinal Survey, 1985: Wave 1, Level 2

description: This is the first wave of the youth area sample component of the Australian Longitudinal Survey. Successive waves of this youth sample component will be carried out from 1985 to at least 1988 (see also SSDA Studies No. 377 and 410 for details of the first and second waves of the ALS list sample). The 1985 wave consisted of 9000 interviews with people aged 16 to 25. A multi-stage household based sample designed to represent all Australians in the age cohort, except those residing in sparsely settled areas, was employed. The survey aims mainly at providing data on the dynamics of the youth labour market, and in particular to address questions which are not readily covered with available sources of cross sectional data. Labour market variables include job history, job search behaviour, job training and transition from school/study to work. Background variables and topics related to the main labour market theme include education, occupation, health and attitudes to women working. Basic demographic variables include age, sex, size of household, country of birth, racial origin, parental education and occupation, spouse's education, religion, income and whether resident in an urban or rural area.

title: Career development project, 1977-1987: File a

description: The Career Development Project is an extensive study spanning the years 1977-1987. It aims to explore the career development patterns, tertiary and related work experiences of samples of students in different age groups both in Western Australia and nationally. Data files are held for the following samples in this study: (1) secondary school students in Western Australia, interviewed in their last year of secondary school (1977) and reinterviewed in 1978 and 1979; (2) tertiary graduates from five Western Australian tertiary institutions interviewed in their last year of study in 1977, and then in 1978 and 1979; (3) a comparative study of younger and older (mature age) graduates from six Australian tertiary institutions first interviewed in 1986, then again in 1987; and (4) the Australian component of an international survey of secondary school students, using the same questionnaire as the main secondary school survey in 1977. Topic areas covered for secondary and tertiary samples include: choice of occupation and factors involved in that choice; preferences for and views on local tertiary institutions; reasons for continuing formal education; self esteem and achievement; courses of study and satisfaction with current enrolment; assessment of difficulties obtaining a job; sex role attitudes; attitudes to work; goals for the future; important personal qualities; opinions on politics and society, particularly in relation to women; factors influencing career and lifestyle; and employment history since graduation. The mature age sample was also asked questions relating to restrictions and obstacles to entering certain career paths; constraints on career and employment due to family responsibilities; and experience of discrimination due to age, gender and social class. Background questions include: age, sex, birthplace, marital status, secondary school details, number of siblings and respondent's position in the family; age, occupation, educational level, birthplace of parents; first language spoken by respondent and parents; present and childhood religious denomination; and assessment of parents' income and social orientation.
