title: Voter Research and Surveys General Election Exit Polls, 1992
title: Version 2

description: For this data collection, voters in all 50 states and the District of Columbia were interviewed as they left their polling places after voting in the 1992 presidential election. Respondents were asked a series of questions covering their presidential choices for 1992 and 1988, their opinions of the most important issues and candidate qualities, feelings about the government, level of commitment to the candidate for whom they voted, political spectrum self-identification, and family financial situation. Other topics covered in individual states included opinions of candidates and approval ratings, party platforms, current news topics such as urban unrest and the state of the economy, and "hot-button" topics unique to each state such as sexual orientation, religious identification, employment issues, law enforcement issues, environmental positions, abortion limitations, and term of office limitations. Demographic information collected includes sex, race, age, marital status, region of birth, family income range, religion, education, and party identification. In some instances a state geographic code was supplied. In addition to the state surveys, a national survey was also conducted. This survey focused on important issues in the campaign and candidate qualities.
description: In the state of California, two different state polls were utilized and data were later combined into one file. Participants in the national survey were administered one of four versions of the national questionnaire. Data were then combined into one file, Part 52. This data collection was released in June 1993 via the ICPSR Hotline. Errors in the data were subsequently discovered and corrected. Users who received this collection prior to August 13 should reorder the 2nd release of the data, which is described here.

description: The election day surveys were conducted at polling places among a sample of voters immediately after they cast their votes. The precincts were a random subsample of those used for estimating election outcome. Sample precincts were selected with probability proportionate to the total vote cast in a recent past election. The sampling frame consisted of all precincts in a state, stratified by party vote and geography. Within precincts, respondents were selected on a systematic random basis. The interviewer had no control over respondent selection. A subsample of these precincts were selected to be part of the national sample.

title: Canadian Election Study, 1993: Incorporating the 1992 Referendum Survey on the Charlottetown Accord
title: Version 1

description: 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.

title: Acquiescence and Identification with the Aggressor Among Acculturating Africans, 1959-1960
title: Version 1

description: The respondents for this study were 68 adult Banyankole males, selected from the native population of ten counties in the Ankole district in Uganda, and 28 white residents of the same counties, both male and female. The study was conducted at a time when Uganda was still a British protectorate. Variables from the questionnaire, administered to Africans and Europeans alike, probed two major areas of interest. A number of questions asked the respondents to compare Africans with Europeans in terms of inherent abilities. A second major portion of the study examined both positive and negative value judgements of the African personality and character.

description: The sample for this study included two different subsamples: one drawn from the native population and another including all the adult European residents in the ten Ugandan counties. The Banyankole sample was established by probability area sampling followed by quota selection of respondents. A segment of the population expected to have had numerous contacts with Europeans was deliberately overrepresented to facilitate the study of acculturation. The intended sample size was 121 Banyankole and 87 Europeans.

title: Primary Care Judgments of Nurses and Physicians, 1976-1978: Clinical Simulation Test -- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Data
title: Version 1

description: This data collection contains four files of the Clinical Simulation Test for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, an instrument developed by the Primary Care Judgements of Nurses and Physicians Research Project to empirically assess the clinical judgements of physicians and nurses in relation to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in the period 1976-1978. The purpose of the study was to measure the clinical judgments of health professionals in relation to those of a panel of eight national experts in the specific area of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The instrument simulates the clinical processes from presentation of the chief complaint of a 53-year-old Caucasian male with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease through diagnoses and treatment. The Clinical Simulation Test (Part 1) was given to 200 respondents who were divided into six groups: family practice physicians, nurse practitioners with master's degrees, certified nurse practitioners, public health nurses, pre-medical students, and nursing students. The test contains 13 sections and three diagnostic tests. Nine of the test sections required the respondents to choose from a list of possible treatment actions. Four sections were open-ended and required respondents to identify relevant patient data or to list patient problems. During the process, respondents chose appropriate procedures from among a wide range of possible choices. Items also include an evaluation of the test instrument by the respondents, a proficiency scale which is scored by means of a computer program (Part 2), and the responses of 2 panels of experts used for the purpose of test instrument validation (Parts 3 and 4). Demographic items specify age, sex, education, professional preparation, residency program, specialty, position, and disease management experience of respondents. See the related collection, PRIMARY CARE JUDGMENTS OF NURSES AND PHYSICIANS, 1976-1978: CLINICAL SIMULATION TEST -- HYPERTENSION DATA (ICPSR 7732).

title: CBS News Clinton/Ethics Poll, June 1997
title: Version 1

description: This poll, conducted June 10-11, 1997, 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 of this poll were asked to give their opinions of President Bill Clinton, and his handling of the presidency, and other issues such as foreign policy and the economy. A series of questions solicited respondents' opinions about race relations including how respondents felt race relations were in the United States, how respondents felt race relations were in their communities, how they felt race relations would change four years in the future, how important an issue respondents felt race relations were to the future of the United States, and whether they thought race relation issues were within the presidents' control. Other race-related questions addressed whether respondents thought Bill Clinton cared about Black people, respondents' opinion about the degree of progress that has been made with the elimination of racial discrimination, and whether respondents expected to see full equality for Black people in their lifetime. Views were sought on the Paula Jones lawsuit and included questions that addressed whether the lawsuit would interfere with the president's ability to effectively perform his job and the respondents' opinion about the validity of the claims of both President Clinton and Paula Jones. Views were also sought on the death penalty and on the recent conviction of Timothy McVeigh in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombings. Demographic variables include sex, race, age, marital status, household income, education level, type of residential area (e.g. urban or rural), presence of children and teenagers in the household, political party affiliation, voter participation history and registration status, and political philosophy.

title: New Soviet Citizen Survey, 1992: Monitoring Political Change
title: Version 1

description: This study consists of interviews conducted in Russia, Lithuania, and Ukraine with approximately 3,000 citizens -- both in the general population and opinion leaders or elites. Respondents in the general population (Part 1) were queried concerning issues they faced on a daily basis, including their satisfaction with their lives, their economic status, and their interest in politics. Information was gathered on their attitudes toward Communism, the police, the media, and residents of Russia, Lithuania, and Ukraine. In addition, respondents provided opinions concerning which organizations should deal with the environment, school, employment, and defense, and commented on the views of Mikhail Gorbachev, Boris Yeltsin, and Ruslan Khasbulatov with respect to guaranteed work. Other issues addressed included the role of women, crime, legislation and decision-making, and goals of the country. The elite respondents (Part 2) were asked to comment on various aspects of politics and society, including problems and challenges their state was facing (such as public health and welfare, crime, and economic stability), what qualities characterize a good legislator or administrator, and the status of political authority and levels of power for political figures. Opinion leaders also provided information on their feelings toward the media, the Communist Party, religious organizations including the Catholic Church, the ministers of government, and the United States. In addition, these respondents commented on income limitations, political party competition, minority rights, and the role of women. Demographic variables common to both sets of data include age, education, gender, native and other languages, religion, and occupation.
