Version 03 Codebook ------------------- CODEBOOK VARIABLE DOCUMENTATION 1998 POST-ELECTION STUDY (1998.T) 1998 NES VARIABLE ENTRIES This file should be opened in fixed font, 10 pitch or smaller. Codebook introductory material and appendix material are in separate files. ---------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE ON VARIABLE NAMING: The variable name references used in NES Study codebooks do not include the "V" prefix found in all variable names used within the released SAS and SPSS data definition files (.sas and .sps files). For example, "VAR 920001" and "VAR VERSION" in Study codebooks refer to V920001 and VVERSION in the study data definition files. VARIABLE 'NUMBERING': 'Numbered' variables in NES timeseries datasets and in Pilot datasets (except the 1998 Pilot) comply with the following format: 2-digit year prefix + 4 digits + [opt] 1-char suffix. Examples: 1978 Post variable V780002; 1983 Pilot variable V832101. Note that for datasets including data from multiple studies, the 2-digit year prefix corresponds to the appropriate study year to which the variable is associated; for example, the 1983 Pilot dataset also includes 1982 timeseries variables, for which the 2-digit prefix is 82. Non-time-series studies other than Pilots use 2-character mnemonic prefixes, for example variable VPS0048 in the 1988-1990-1992 Pooled Senate Study dataset. SPECIAL NOTE ON COLUMN LOCATIONS: Some numeric variables use coding schemes that allow for code values having a varying number of digits. In such instances, the number of columns corresponding to the variable in the data file [.dat file] and in the column specifications will be the width of the maximum value occurring in the actual data, rather than the maximum width allowable by the coding scheme. For example, if codes 01-12 are allowed for a numeric variable but all values in the data are less than 10, then the number of columns corresponding to the variable within the ASCII data Note: variable names in the SAS and SPSS data definition files have a "V" prefix, e.g. "V980003", "VICPSR98" etc. however in the codebook the "V" prefix is omitted (980003,ICPSR98). ============================== VAR VERSION NES VERSION NUMBER COLUMNS 1 - 2 NUMERIC Process.1.

Coversheet Item 8 Household listing selection table --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Selection Table is used to select a respondent from all household members who are eligible adults. (An eligible adult is a U.S. citizen who is 18 years of age or older by Election Day.) The Selection Table appears on the Coversheet below the Household Listing. After a complete listing of the HH is taken, each eligible adult is assigned a "Number" based on the criteria of gender and age [beginning with the oldest male as number 1, males are numbered by increments of 1 according to descending age; females are numbered by descending age starting with the number one higher than that assigned to the youngest male]. The interviewer then uses the Selection Table to determine the "Number" of the eligible adult to be interviewed. The Selection Table itself consists of 2 parallel columns. In the first column the interviewer circles the total number of eligible adults in the household; in the second column (same row) is identified the Number" of the person who will be the respondent. There are 8 different Selection Tables used and they are randomly assigned. [Note that although only 8 tables are used, there are 12 codes in this variable because the 8 tables are used in cycles of 12; this procedure is used to equalize the probability of selection for each eligible adult]. A summary describing all 8 Selection Tables appears below.

For segments from the 1980 National Sample Frame, code 1 includes all 1980 National Sample Frame self-representing areas, plus Newark, NJ (as well as SRP Nassau-Suffolk NY as part of the NYC CMSA) and Anaheim and Riverside CA (as part of the LA CMSA) plus six other non-selfrepresenting primary areas included within the `population over 2,000,000' definition (Miami-Fort Lauderdale, FL CMSA, Cleveland-Akron-Lorain, OH CMSA, Seattle-Tacoma, WA CMSA, San Diego, CA MSA, Phoenix AZ MSA and Tampa-St Petersburg- Clearwater, FL MSA). For Segments from the 1990 National Sample Frame, code 1 includes all except two of the 28 1990 National Sample Frame self-representing areas. Central Cities of Denver, Co MSA and Kansas City MSA are NOT to be coded 1. Central Cities of all other self-representing areas of the 1990 National Sample Frame are coded 1 (including Nassau- Suffolk NY and Newark NJ as part of the NYC, NY-Northern NJ CMSA; Los Angeles, Anaheim, and Riverside CA as part of the LA-etc. CMSA; and San Francisco and Oakland CA as part of the SF-Oakland CA CMSA). For the most part, no 1990 Frame non-selfrepresenting MSA Central Cities are coded 1, except as noted below. [NOTE: In 1990, the PSU definition in New England states is the New England County Metropolitan Area (NECMA). This means that for the 1990 Frame segments in New England--there may be Central Cities of MSAs included in the NECMA definition that are not in the CMSA/MSA definition. For example, in Boston MA (1990 frame) the Central Cities include not only those for Boston MSA but some from other New England MSAs -- some of which could be outside of the Boston CMSA definition and could be coded `2'. It also means that in the Manchester- Nashua NH NECMA (non-selfrepresenting) there are two segment selections in Nashua, NH (central city of Nashua MA PMSA) which is part of the Boston MA CMSA and has therefore been coded `1'.] Central Cities - as designated in Metropolitan Statistical Areas, 1990, U.S. Office of Management and Budget, Washington, D.C.

Size of Place - IW location --------------------------------------------------------------------- See the appendix on CENSUS DEFINITIONS. Coded according to the 1990 Census. The major objective of the Census Bureau in delineating urbanized areas is to provide a better separation of urban and rural population in the vicinity of large cities. An urbanized area consists of a central city or cities, and surrounding closely settled territory ("urban fringe"). Size of Place codes 21 and 41 include areas that are in the "urban fringe" but are not Census Places. Note for Codes 50-53: in a few cases, Non-MSA PSUs (based on the 1980 OMB SMSA definitions) contain areas which are now part of a 1990 PMSA or MSA (based on the June 1990 OMB definition). In these cases, the Size of Place Code for any SSUs (segments) within such areas are coded in the "40s" rather than in the "50s" as shown. This occurred in El Dorado county CA (the major part of the El Dorado/Alpine Co, CA PSU #82) which is now a part of the Sacramento CA MSA, and also for one SSU (segment) in the Gardner MA PSU (#64), which is now a part of the Worchester MA MSA.

In 1990 the U.S. Census adopted slightly different wording and abbreviations for metropolitan areas, now known collectively as Metropolitan Areas (MAs). What in 1980 were Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSAs) became in 1990 either Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) or Primary Metropolitan Statistical Areas (PMSAs). MSA is used for a metropolitan area which stands alone, i.e., is not a part of a Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area (CMSA). PMSA is used for a metropolitan area which is part of a larger CMSA. The metropolitan area standards for the 1990's generally reflect a continuity with those adopted for the 1980's and maintain the basic concepts originally developed in 1950. The few substantive changes made between 1980 and 1990 are detailed in the Federal Register, Vol. 55, No.62 cited in the footnote. New England County Metropolitan Areas (NECMAs) provide an alternative to the official city-and-town based metropolitan statistical areas in that Census region for the convenience of data users who desire a county-defined set of areas. NECMAs have their separate definition standards detailed in the Federal Register (p. 12159). Since the 1990 SRC National Sample primary stage of selection was based on the NECMA in New England, the 1990 NECMA is provided in place of 1990 MSA or PMSA for this variable. 16 360.

Please look at page 2 of the booklet. / Please open the respondent booklet and skip past the first page. Now, looking at the second page of the booklet. I'd like to get your feelings toward some of our political leaders and other people who are in the news these days. I'll read the name of a person and I'd like you to rate that person using something we call the feeling thermometer. Ratings between 50 degrees and 100 degrees mean that you feel favorable and warm toward the person. Ratings between 0 and 50 degrees mean that you don't feel favorable toward the person and that you don't care too much for that person. You would rate the person at the 50 degree mark if you don't feel particularly warm or cold toward the person. If we come to a person whose name you don't recognize, you don't need to rate the person. Just tell me and we'll move on to the next one. ============================== VAR 980238 B4a.THERMOMETER CLINTON COLUMNS 599 - 601 NUMERIC MD GE 997 B4a.
