title: Polish General Social Survey, 1992-1999
title: Archival Version

description: The Polish General Social Survey (PGSS), conducted annually since 1992 through 1995 and later biennially, is design to measure opinions and social characteristics of Polish society. PGSS core variables include socioeconomic and demographic items 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 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), "Family and Changing Gender Roles II" and "Sexual Behavior" (1994), "National Identity" (1995), "Work Orientations II" (1997), and "Social Inequality III" (1999). This study is a continuation of the POLISH GENERAL SOCIAL SURVEY, 1992-1994 (ICPSR 6155).

title: Mexican-American Families in Los Angeles, 1844-1880
title: Archival Version

description: This data collection contains two data files created from manuscript census returns. Part 1 is an aggregation of social characteristics of Spanish-surnamed and Mexican-born families in the city of Los Angeles from 1844-1880. The data were used to study family composition and socioeconomic mobility. Data items include real property held by head of household (1844, 1850, and 1880 missing), number of children in household, number of adults who were literate in household (no data for 1844), last name of head of household, place of birth of head of household, and occupational category (i.e., rancher or farmer, professional, mercantile, clerk, skilled, and unskilled). Part 2 is composed of data used to study the socioeconomic development of the Mexican-American community in Los Angeles. The main emphasis was on an analysis of literacy, occupational mobility, schooling, family structure, demographic changes, and property mobility. Data items include last name, first name, age, sex, occupational code, real property, personal property, place of birth, literacy, race, head of household, wife of head, child of head, parent of head, sibling of head, and common law spouse. Definitions of family types and discussion of the methodology and rationale used to generate the data in both files can be found in Appendix A of del Castillo, Richard Griswold. "La Raza Hispano Americana: The Emergence of an Urban Culture Among the Spanish Speaking of Los Angeles, 1850-1880." Ph.D. dissertation, University of California, Los Angeles, CA, 1974.

title: Southern African Subsystem Events Data, 1973-1976
title: Archival Version

description: This data collection contains event/interaction data characterizing over 13,000 events related to affairs in Southern Africa between 1973 and 1976. An event/interaction is defined in this study as an activity undertaken by an international or transnational actor wherein it may be inferred that the actor has undertaken the activity in order to affect the behavior of the target of the event. The actor or target is defined as one of nine core states (Angola, Botswana, Mozambique, Rhodesia, Malawi, South Africa, Namibia, Lesotho, and Swaziland), 17 liberation movements within those states (e.g., the ANC, MPLA, and FNLA), seven Bantu homelands (Bophutha Tswana, Ciskei, Ganzankulu, Kwazulu, Lebowa, Transkei, and Vhavenda), five peripheral African powers (Zaire, Tanzania, Zambia, Malagasy Republic, and Mauritius), 11 non-African powers "intrusive" in the region (United States, Brazil, United Kingdom, Netherlands, France, Portugal, West Germany, Soviet Union, China, Japan, and Cuba), and eight international organizations (e.g., NATO, EEC, and OAU). Two versions of the data were created: Part 1, which contains numeric data only, and Part 2, which includes text that briefly describes each event/interaction. Contents of the files include types of action (including both conflictual and cooperative verbal evaluation or perceptions, verbal desire, verbal intent, and physical deeds), issue areas over which the actors interact (coded in five main values categories: security, territory, status, human resources, and nonhuman resources), dyad descriptions, change-continue scale, multilateral-unilateral scale, isolationist-internationalist scale, event source, and year, month, day, and page of source.

title: Participation in Zambia, 1974
title: Archival Version

description: This data collection focuses on modes of political participation and social change in Zambia in 1974. It contains data gathered in a survey of 480 residents in the urban Lusaka District and 50 from two rural areas in the Eastern Province of Zambia, measuring political attitudes and participation at both a national and local level. The research builds upon the previous work of Sidney Verba and Norman H. Nie and is directly comparable to that found in the Yugoslav portion of POLITICAL PARTICIPATION AND EQUALITY IN SEVEN NATIONS, 1966-1971 (ICPSR 7768), the cross-national study of the modes of political participation. The Zambian survey included questions dealing with respondents' knowledge of local and national officials and items dealing with the most important problems facing both the nation and local areas. Other questions probed what actions could be taken to effect change in a law or regulation and if respondents had ever engaged in such actions. Other items concerned the respondents' political activity (e.g., contact with ward councillor, community development officials, section chairman, priests, MPs, government party officials, other organization officials, and President Kuanda, as well as participation in area projects) and attitudes about activists, community development, and the responsibilities of citizenship. Respondents were also asked to what extent they used three information sources: newspapers, radio, and television. Standard demographic and personal information, such as sex, age, marital status, tribal affiliation, occupation, income, union membership, education, religion, and residence, is included.

description: Stratified random sampling was done, and in each urban residential area (compound), quota sampling was performed. The research was conducted by 26 third- and fourth-year sociology students at the University of Zambia. They interviewed male and female respondents who reflected the sex composition ratio of the Lusaka urban population. They also included a fair representation of various age groups above 18 years old. The sampling units were streets except in more densely populated squatter compounds where the sampling units were sections. Personal interviews were conducted with 480 urban residents. Fifty interviews also were completed in two rural areas of the Eastern Province: Katete, and the Chipata District. In both cases, sampling was performed in a similar way as in the urban squatter compounds.
