title: Aging of Veterans of the Union Army: United States Federal Census Records, 1850, 1860, 1900, 1910
title: Version 5

description: This data collection constitutes a portion of the historical data collected by the project "Early Indicators of Later Work Levels, Disease, and Death." With the goal of constructing datasets suitable for longitudinal analyses of factors affecting the aging process, the project is collecting military, medical, and socioeconomical data on a sample of white males mustered into the Union Army during the Civil War. The project seeks to examine the influence of environmental and host factors prior to recruitment on the health performance and survival of recruits during military service, to identify and show relationships between socioeconomic and biomedical conditions (including nutritional status) of veterans at early ages and mortality rates from diseases at middle and late ages, and to study the effects of health and pensions on labor force participation rates of veterans at ages 65 and over. This installment of the collection, Version C-3, supersedes all previous collections (Versions C-1 and C-2), and contains data from the censuses of 1850, 1860, 1900, and 1910 on veterans who were originally mustered into the Union Army in Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Vermont, and West Virginia. This version of the collection also contains observations from Wisconsin, Indiana, California, and New Mexico. Census Data, Part 1, includes place of residence, relationship to head of household, date and place of birth, number of children, education, disability status, employment status, number of years in the United States, literacy, marital status, occupation, parents' birthplace, and property/home ownership. The variables in Part 2, Linkage Data, indicate which document sources were located for each recruit.

title: German Election Study, September 1961
title: Archival Version

description: This is the second in a series of three studies that surveyed independent national samples both before and after the 1961 election in the Federal Republic of Germany. There were two pre-election studies, conducted in July and September (see also ICPSR 7099), and one post-election study carried out in November and December (ICPSR 7101). The present study asked the respondents to assess their present and future economic situations, as well as the future economic situation of the Federal Republic. Variables also examined the respondents' interest in politics and sources of political information. Scalometers were used in evaluating the major political figures of 1961 and the three major political parties. A series of questions sought the respondents' descriptions of the characteristics of the CDU/CSU and SPD. This study also assessed the perceived partisan leanings of various social groups. Questions investigating the respondents' anticipated voting behavior in the 1961 election, expectations about the election outcome, and long-term voting histories were also included. Demographic data cover age, sex, marital status, religious preference, education, employment status, occupation, and income.
description: The 1,633 respondents were weighted to 1643.9 to correct for sex and age biases in the sample. The weight variable (Variable 3), constructed by comparing the age by sex distribution of the sample with the census distribution, produces a representative sample of the population.
description: Citizens, aged 15 and older, of the Federal Republic of Germany, including West Berlin, who lived in private households and were registered in the community central registry of inhabitants ("Einwohnermeldekartei").
description: A stratified, multistage, random sampling procedure was utilized in this study. The sample was drawn in three stages: first, the sampling points were designated, then households were chosen within each sampling point, and finally, individuals were selected within each household. The sampling frame included two elements of the population who were generally not eligible to vote in federal elections: residents of West Berlin and citizens younger than 21 years of age. A filter variable (Variable 4) was constructed for an analysis of the eligible electorate. The definition of the population excluded persons living in group quarters, institutional populations, and people with no place of residence.

title: German Election Panel Study, 1972
title: Version 1

description: This panel study was conducted in three waves: two preceding and one immediately following the 1972 election in the Federal Republic of Germany. A total of 2,052 respondents, weighted to 2,024.5, were interviewed in the first wave. Of these, 1,603, weighted to 1583.5, were reinterviewed in the second wave, and 1,222, weighted to 1,210.1, were surveyed for a third time, after the election. Both pre-election interviews began by asking the respondent to assess the existent and future economic situation of the Federal Republic. The respondents were queried about their party identification, and were asked to separately evaluate each party on a feeling scalometer and to rank the parties in preference order. Another portion of the two pre-election interviews dealt with the respondents' interests in a broad range of political issues. The interviewees were also asked which party could best deal with each of the issues that they considered salient. Both interviews inquired about the visibility of political figures in Bonn and solicited evaluations of the two chancellor candidates. The first two waves also investigated the respondent's voting behavior in the 1969 election and anticipated behavior in the 1972 election. The third, post-election, wave dealt with the respondent's actual voting behavior in the 1972 election and involvement in the campaign. Questions inquired about perceived sources of campaign funding for each party and problems the respondent saw in the methods of financing. As in the first two waves, the respondents were queried about their party identification, and were asked to separately evaluate each party on a feeling scalometer and to rank the parties in preference order. The personal data section of the three interviews gathered information on education, sex, age, marital status, and religious preference. The family income and occupation of the respondents, their fathers, and heads of households were also assessed.
description: This study contains a weight variable (V3) which produces a representative sample of the voting-age citizens of the Federal Republic when used in analysis. The weight variable corrects for sex and age biases of the sample, and was constructed by comparing the age by sex distribution of the first-wave respondents with the census distribution. This weight variable should be used when analyzing any of the three panel waves.

title: German Election Study, September 1965
title: Archival Version

description: This study explored the respondents' voting behavior in the 1961 election in the Federal Republic of Germany, anticipated behavior in the 1965 election, and preferences for the government coalition and chancellorship to be elected. Broader questions dealt with the general extent of mass media usage, specifically as a political news source. The respondents' reliance on a variety of other sources of political information was also assessed. Variables probed the respondents' perceptions of whether the CDU/CSU or SPD could best deal with a set of issues facing the Federal Republic. The procedure was repeated as the respondents were asked whether Brandt or Erhard could best deal with a similar list of issues. The survey also included scalometers, which were used in evaluating the major political figures of 1965, and the major political parties. Demographic variables include age, sex, marital status, religious preference, education, occupation, and membership in voluntary associations.

title: Social Bases of West German Politics, 1953
title: Version 2

description: This study, conducted in West Germany prior to the federal election in September 1953, covered four main areas: politics, the respondents' occupational background, family relations, and social relations. Respondents were asked about their intended vote in 1953 and their past vote in 1949. Additional questions explored the extent of the respondents' political information and political interest, and how often and with whom they discussed politics. The occupational background section of the interview probed whether respondents had achieved their occupational goals in life. Employed respondents were queried about their occupational histories and job satisfaction, while unemployed respondents were asked about their interest in entering the labor force. Another portion of the study inquired about the respondents' relationships with their families. Variables assessed whether the respondents lived with relatives or shared financial support. The interview also asked about discussions between husbands and wives, and whether they shared opinions. The fourth major area covered by the study ascertained how frequently and with whom the respondents had long talks, discussed personal problems, or wrote letters. This section also surveyed the respondents' membership and activity in voluntary associations and church-related initiatives. The personal data section of the interview covered the education, income, marital status, sex, age, and religious preference of each respondent. Additional items provide information about the respondents' geographic mobility and place of residence.
