The General Social Survey CD-ROM brings the rich coverage of one of the nation's longest running surveys of social, cultural and political indicators available today right to your desktop. Encompassing 29 years of national survey data in one comprehensive data file, the GSS CD-ROM is the right choice for individual researchers, departmental labs and social science data centers. An SPSS portable system file makes it even more convenient for students and faculty to gain full access to this rich data resource. Students will find the CD-ROM a rich resource for term papers, theses, and dissertations.
Teachers can use it in courses that teach social science as an empirical science.
The newly released data file contains individual response coding for 40,933 respondents and over 3,500 variables. The 2000 GSS follows the biennial, double sample design that was first adopted in 1994. The new survey has been added to the cumulative file, which now contains data spanning twenty-nine years.
