>> 1978 STUDY DESCRIPTION

      THE AMERICAN NATIONAL ELECTION STUDY, 1978, WAS
      CONDUCTED BY THE CENTER FOR POLITICAL STUDIES OF THE
      INSTITUTE FOR SOCIAL RESEACH, THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN,
      UNDER THE DIRECTION OF WARREN E. MILLER.  IT IS THE
      FIFTEENTH IN A SERIES OF STUDIES OF NATIONAL ELECTIONS
      PRODUCED BY THE POLITICAL BEHAVIOR PROGRAM OF THE SURVEY
      RESEARCH CENTER AND THE CENTER FOR POLITICAL STUDIES.
      ALTHOUGH FIFTEENTH IN THE SERIES, THE 1978 STUDY IS THE
      FIRST TO BE CONDUCTED UNDER A GRANT FROM THE NATIONAL
      SCIENCE FOUNDATION (GRANT #SOC77-08885) PROVIDING LONG-TERM
      SUPPORT FOR NATIONAL ELECTION STUDIES.

      A TOTAL OF 2,304 RESPONDENTS WERE INTERVIEWED IN A SAMPLE
      OF 108 CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS AFTER THE 1978 CONGRESSIONAL
      ELECTIONS.

      THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE OF THIS STUDY WAS TO ANALYZE THE
      ATTITUDES AND BEHAVIOR OF THE AMERICAN ELECTORATE IN THE
      CONTEXT OF THE 1978 CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS.  MAJOR EMPHASIS
      WAS PLACED ON THE RESPONDENTS' EVALUATIONS OF THEIR
      DISTRICT'S CANDIDATES--BOTH THE INCUMBENT AND
      OPPONENT--ALONG SEVERAL DIMENSIONS.  THEY WERE ASKED TO
      ASSESS THE CANDIDATES IN TERMS OF THEIR ISSUE-ORIENTATION,
      PERFORMANCE IN OFFICE AND BEHAVIOR DURING THE CAMPAIGN, AND
      THE ABILITY OF EACH CANDIDATE TO REPRESENT THE INTERESTS OF
      THE CONSTITUENCY.  RESPONDENTS WERE ALSO ASKED WHETHER THEY
      HAD EVER HAD ANY PERSONAL CONTACT WITH THEIR REPRESENTATIVE.
      SIMILAR QUESTIONS WERE ASKED ABOUT THE SENATE CANDIDATES IN
      THE STATES WHERE SUCH ELECTIONS WERE HELD IN 1978.

      RESPONDENTS WERE ALSO ASKED TO EVALUATE THE MEDIA
      COVERAGE OF THE VARIOUS ELECTORAL CONTESTS. OTHER ITEMS
      DEALT WITH THE RESPONDENTS' INTEREST IN THE CAMPAIGN AND
      THEIR ACTUAL VOTING BEHAVIOR IN THE 1978 ELECTION.  IN
      ADDITION, THE RESPONDENTS WERE ASKED TO REPORT THEIR
      FEELINGS ABOUT POTENTIAL PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES IN 1980. A
      SERIES OF QUESTIONS FOCUSED ON PRESIDENT CARTER AND HIS
      HANDLING OF SPECIFIC ISSUES, SUCH AS THE ECONOMY.

      AS IN THE PAST, THE QUESTIONNAIRE INCLUDED AN INQUIRY
      INTO THE MAJOR PROBLEMS FACING THE COUNTRY.  A SERIES OF
      SCALES MEASURED THE RESPONDENT'S POSITION, AS WELL AS THE
      POSITION OF THE POLITICAL PARTIES AND OF CERTAIN POLITICAL
      LEADERS--INCLUDING CONGRESSIONAL AND SENATE CANDIDATES--WITH
      REGARD TO SUCH ISSUES AS URBAN UNREST, PROTECTION OF THE
      RIGHTS OF THE ACCUSED, AID TO MINORITY GROUPS, GOVERNMENT
      INSURANCE PLAN, AND WOMEN'S ROLE IN SOCIETY.

      THE PERSONAL DATA SECTION CONTAINED INFORMATION ON THE
      RESPONDENT'S EDUCATION, OCCUPATION, AGE, SEX, MARITAL
      STATUS, SOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUS, ETHNIC BACKGROUND, AND
      RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION. PARALLEL INFORMATION ON EDUCATION AND
      OCCUPATION WAS ASCERTAINED FOR THE SPOUSE.

      THE PREPARATION OF THE 1978 INTERVIEW SCHEDULE WAS A
      COLLABORATIVE VENTURE INVOLVING THE CPS STAFF, THE NATIONAL
      ELECTION STUDIES BOARD OF OVERSEERS AND A STANDING COMMITTEE
      OF CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS RESEARCH SCHOLARS.  THE
      SUBSTANTIVE DECISIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THESE GROUPS
      WERE FORMED BY OPINIONS AND PREFERENCES VOICED AT
      BOARD-SPONSORED CONFERENCES ATTENDED BY OTHER MEMBERS OF THE
      POLITICAL SCIENCE DISCIPLINE AND THE SOCIAL SCIENCES
      COMMUNITY AT LARGE.  THE CONTENT OF THE INTERVIEW SCHEDULE
      EMPHASIZES QUESTIONS AND ISSUES RELEVANT TO THE STUDY OF THE
      DYNAMICS OF CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS.  TO FURTHER FACILITATE
      THIS LINE OF INQUIRY, THE SAMPLING FRAME WAS REDEFINED FOR
      THIS STUDY, WITH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS DESIGNATED AS
      PRIMARY AREAS FOR SAMPLING PURPOSES.  (SEE SAMPLING
      INFORMATION).

      DURING PLANNING FOR THE 1978 STUDY, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD
      OF OVERSEERS WERE:  HEINZ EULAU, CHAIR, STANFORD UNIVERSITY;

                          CONTEXTUAL DATA STUDY

      INCLUDED IN THE 1978 ELECTION STUDY ARE "CONTEXTUAL" DATA
      WHICH WERE COLLECTED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES AND THEN ADDED TO
      THE RESPONDENT'S FILE. SOME OF THESE DATA PERTAIN TO THE
      VOTING RETURNS AT THE COUNTY, CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT, AND
      STATE LEVELS FOR THE 1972, 1976 AND 1978 NATIONAL ELECTIONS.
      OTHERS CONTAIN INFORMATION ON THE CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES
      AND INCUMBENTS FROM THE 108 CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS INCLUDED
      IN THE SURVEY. THE EIGHT CONTEXTUAL DATASETS THAT HAVE BEEN
      ADDED TO THIS ICPSR RELEASE OF THE 1978 ELECTION STUDY ARE:
      1) HISTORICAL ELECTION RETURNS (1972, 1974, AND 1976),  2)
      THE 1978 ELECTION RETURNS,  3) INCUMBENCY CHARACTERISTICS,
      4) CANDIDATE CHARACTERISTICS, 5) REGISTRATION AND VOTING
      RECORDS CHECK, 6) ELECTION MATERIALS CHECKLIST, 7) MEDIA
      STRUCTURE, AND 8) FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION DATA.

      THE HISTORICAL ELECTION RETURNS DATA (REF. NOS. 1001-1100)
      CONTAIN STATE, CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT AND COUNTY RETURNS
      FOR THE 1972 AND 1976 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS; STATE, COUNTY
      AND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT RETURNS FOR THE 1972, 1974, AND
      1976 SENATORIAL AND GUBERNATORIAL ELECTION.  WITH THE
      EXCEPTION OF THE 1976 ELECTION RETURNS AT THE CONGRESSIONAL
      DISTRICT LEVEL FOR THE OFFICES OF PRESIDENT, SENATOR, AND
      GOVERNOR, WHICH WERE SUPPLIED BY THE CONGRESSIONAL QUARTERLY,
      INC., THE RETURNS REPORTED HAVE BEEN PROVIDED BY THE ICPSR.

      THE 1978 ELECTION RETURNS DATA (REF. NOS. 1101-1142) HAVE
      INFORMATION ON THE DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLICAN PRIMARY
      ELECTION WINNERS AND RUNNERS-UP AS WELL AS THE RETURNS FROM
      THE GENERAL ELECTION.  THESE DATA INCLUDE COUNTY LEVEL
      PRIMARY ELECTION RETURNS FOR THE U.S. SENATE AND
      GUBERNATORIAL RACES; CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT PRIMARY ELECTION
      RETURNS FOR THE CONGRESSIONAL RACE; STATE AND COUNTY ELECTION
      RETURNS FOR THE SENATORIAL AND GUBERNATORIAL GENERAL
      ELECTIONS; AND COUNTY AND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT RETURNS FOR
      THE CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS.  THESE DATA WERE OBTAINED
      FROM OFFICIAL REPORTS PRODUCED BY STATE AND COUNTY ELECTION
      OFFICIALS.

      IN THE PRIMARY ELECTION RETURNS DATA, THERE ARE RETURNS FOR
      THE "WINNING" AND "RUNNER-UP" CANDIDATE IN THE DEMOCRATIC AND
      REPUBLICAN PARTIES.  GENERAL ELECTION RETURNS DATA DO NOT
      DISTINGUISH BETWEEN "WINNERS" AND "RUNNER-UPS."  "WINNER"
      WAS DEFINED AS THE PERSON WHO RECEIVED THE HIGHEST TOTAL
      NUMBER OF VOTES FOR THE PARTY'S NOMINATION FOR THE OFFICE;
      "RUNNER-UP" WAS DEFINED AS THE PERSON WHO RECEIVED THE
      SECOND-HIGHEST TOTAL NUMBER OF VOTES FOR THE OFFICE.
      THUS FOR ANY ONE COUNTY THE RUNNER-UP'S VOTE (OR THAT OF
      SOME OTHER CANDIDATE) COULD WELL EXCEED THE WINNER'S VOTE.

      ADDITIONALLY, IN CASES WHERE THERE WERE TWO STATE PRIMARIES
      (BECAUSE OF "RUN-OFFS") THE TOTALS FROM THE FIRST PRIMARY
      WERE REPORTED IN THIS DATA SET.

      THE INCUMBENCY CHARACTERISTICS DATA (REF. NOS. 1143-1262)
      INCLUDE INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE INCUMBENT U.S.
      REPRESENTATIVE OF THE 95TH CONGRESS IN EACH OF THE 108
      CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS SAMPLED IN THE SURVEY. BIOGRAPHICAL
      DATA ON THE INCUMBENTS WERE OBTAINED FROM THE FOLLOWING
      SOURCES: U.S. CONGRESS, CONGRESSIONAL DIRECTORY, 1978, 1979;
      CONGRESSIONAL QUARTERLY, INC., WASHINGTON INFORMATION
      DIRECTORY, 1978-1979, 1978; BRONSON, CHARLES B.,
      CONGRESSIONAL STAFF DIRECTORY, 1978; BARONE, MICHAEL, GRANT
      UJIFUSA, AND DOUGLAS MATTHEWS, THE ALMANAC OF AMERICAN
      POLITICS, 1977 AND 1978; CONGRESSIONAL QUARTERLY, INC.,
      ELECTING CONGRESS, 1978.  A MAJOR FEATURE OF THIS DATASET IS
      THE SERIES OF PERFORMANCE RATINGS THAT EACH MEMBER OF
      CONGRESS RECEIVED FROM CERTAIN INTEREST GROUPS AND ALSO FROM
      THE CONGRESSIONAL QUARTERLY.  THE ELEVEN INTEREST GROUPS
      INCLUDED IN THIS SERIES WERE SELECTED MAINLY BECAUSE OF
      THEIR PRIOR APPEARANCE IN THE ALMANAC OF AMERICAN POLITICS,
      1978. THE RATINGS FOR THE INCUMBENTS IN 1977 AND 1978 WERE
      OBTAINED DIRECTLY FROM THE REPORTING GROUPS' NATIONAL
      OFFICES IN WASHINGTON, D.C., AND ARE NOT CONTAINED IN THE
      1978 EDITION OF THE ALMANAC.  IN TWO INSTANCES, THE
      A.F.L.-C.I.O. COMMITTEE ON POLITICAL EDUCATION AND THE
      NATIONAL FARMERS UNION, "SCORES" WERE NOT REPORTED BY THE
      GROUP.  RATHER, THEY WERE CALCULATED ON THE BASIS OF
      DIVIDING THE NUMBER OF "CORRECT" VOTES BY THE NUMBER OF
      VOTES CONSIDERED BY THE GROUP.  THE SIX CONGRESSIONAL
      QUARTERLY RATINGS WERE OBTAINED FROM THAT ORGANIZATION'S
      WEEKLY REPORT APPEARING IN JANUARY AND DECEMBER OF 1978.

      THE CANDIDATE CHARACTERISTICS DATA (REF. NOS. 1263-1398)
      APPLY TO THE DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES FOR THE
      OFFICE OF U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES IN THE 1978 GENERAL
      ELECTION.  THESE DATA WERE OBTAINED FROM A 1978 CANDIDATE
      QUESTIONNAIRE THAT WAS ADMINISTERED BY CONGRESSIONAL
      QUARTERLY, INC. AND SENT TO ALL CANDIDATES.  IF A
      QUESTIONNAIRE WAS NOT RETURNED OR RETURNED INCOMPLETE, OTHER
      SOURCES WERE USED TO RETRIEVE BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION FOR
      THE CANDIDATE.  THESE ADDITIONAL SOURCES INCLUDED:
      CONGRESSIONAL QUARTERLY'S CANDIDATE QUESTIONNAIRES FROM A
      PREVIOUS ELECTION YEAR; BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION THAT WAS
      SUPPLIED BY THE CANDIDATE'S CAMPAIGN HEADQUARTERS OR THAT
      APPEARED IN A CONGRESSIONAL QUARTERLY WEEKLY REPORT; THE
      SPECIAL ELECTION ISSUE OF CONGRESSIONAL QUARTERLY'S WEEKLY
      REPORT ISSUED ON OCTOBER 14, 1978; AND FOR THE CANDIDATES
      WHO WERE INCUMBENTS, THE INCUMBENCY CHARACTERISTICS DATASET
      (REF. NOS. 1143-1262).

      THE REGISTRATION AND VOTING RECORDS CHECK DATA (REF. NOS.
      1399-1474) REPORTS THE EFFORT TO VALIDATE THE RESPONSES
      ABOUT REGISTRATION AND VOTING BEHAVIOR MADE BY ALL OF THE
      RESPONDENTS IN THE STUDY.  FOR THE FIRST TIME, IN 1978
      RESPONDENTS WERE ASKED NOT ONLY WHETHER THEY WERE REGISTERED
      TO VOTE, BUT ALSO THE ADDRESS AT WHICH THEY WERE REGISTERED.
      PERSONAL VISITS WERE MADE BY MEMBERS OF THE SRC FIELD STAFF
      DURING FEBRUARY AND MARCH, 1979 TO THE LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL
      OFFICES CHARGED WITH THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR MAINTAINING
      REGISTRATION AND VOTING RECORDS IN PLACES WHERE THE SURVEY
      RESPONDENTS RESIDED.  TELEPHONE CALLS WERE MADE BY CPS STAFF
      MEMBERS TO THOSE PLACES OUTSIDE THE STUDY SAMPLE WHEN A
      RESPONDENT CLAIMED TO BE REGISTERED IN SUCH AN AREA.  IN THE
      CASES OF 35 RESPONDENTS WHO DID NOT PROVIDE THE INTERVIEWERS
      WITH THEIR NAMES AND ANOTHER 4 RESPONDENTS WHO REPORTED
      BEING REGISTERED AT A DIFFERENT ADDRESS BUT WHO DID NOT
      PROVIDE THAT ADDRESS TO THE INTERVIEWER IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE
      TO PERFORM THE RECORDS CHECK.

      ADDITIONALLY, THIS DATASET INCLUDES TWO GROUPS OF PRECINCT
      LEVEL PRIMARY AND GENERAL ELECTION RETURNS FOR THE 1978
      GUBERNATORIAL, SENATORIAL AND CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION.  THE
      FIRST SET OF RETURNS IS FOR THE PRECINCT IN WHICH THE
      RESPONDENT WAS INTERVIEWED.  THE SECOND SET OF RETURNS IS
      FOR THE PRECINCT IN WHICH THE RESPONDENT WAS REGISTERED OR
      REPORTED BEING REGISTERED OR WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO
      REGISTER IF HE/SHE WISHED.  FOR MOST CASES THE TWO SETS OF
      RETURNS ARE THE SAME; THEY ONLY VARY WHEN THE RESPONDENT
      REPORTED BEING REGISTERED AT AN ADDRESS OTHER THAN THE ONE
      WHERE THE INTERVIEW WAS CONDUCTED.

      THE 1978 ELECTION MATERIALS CHECKLIST (REF. NOS. 1475-1485)
      CONTAINS INFORMATION COLLECTED BY THE SURVEY RESEARCH CENTER
      STAFF AT THE SAME TIME THEY CONDUCTED THE REGISTRATION AND
      VOTING RECORDS CHECK.  THE SRC STAFF WAS INSTRUCTED TO
      COLLECT A SERIES OF ITEMS PERTAINING TO THE ADMINISTRATION
      OF ELECTIONS IN THE LOCAL AREA.  THE MATERIALS INCLUDED:
      SAMPLE BALLOTS, THE PRECINCT LEVEL ELECTION RETURNS AND
      REGISTRATION FIGURES, LISTS OF POLLING PLACES, POLL HOURS,
      ELECTION MAPS AND INFORMATION ABOUT REGISTERING AND VOTING.
      THE MATERIALS THEMSELVES ARE STORED AT THE CENTER FOR
      POLITICAL STUDIES IN ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN.  ANYONE MAY ASK
      FOR AND OBTAIN ACCESS TO THIS DATA BY VISITING THE CENTER.
      HOWEVER, INDIVIDUALS WHO DESIRE SUCH ACCESS SHOULD MAKE
      THEIR REQUEST IN WRITING AND ALLOW ENOUGH LEAD TIME SO THE
      CENTER STAFF CAN PROVIDE THE NECESSARY MATERIALS, FACILITIES
      AND WORKSPACE.

      THE MEDIA STRUCTURE DATA (REF. NOS. 1486-1499) CONTAINS
      INFORMATION ABOUT THE TELEVISION COVERAGE OF EACH COUNTY
      IN WHICH A RESPONDENT RESIDES AS WELL AS THE AREA OF
      DOMINANT INFLUENCE (ADI) WHICH COVERS THAT COUNTY.  THESE
      DATA INCLUDE THE NUMBER OF TELEVISION HOUSEHOLDS IN THE
      COUNTY AND ADI, THE RELATIVE RANKING OF THE ADI, AND THE
      NUMBER OF CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS COVERED COMPLETELY OR
      PARTIALLY BY THE ADI.

      IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THREE OF THE SAMPLE COUNTIES IN
      CALIFORNIA - KERN, SAN BERNADINO AND SANTA CLARA - WERE
      LISTED AS BEING IN TWO DIFFERENT ADI'S.  HOWEVER, FOR EACH
      OF THESE CASES ONE OF THE ADI'S WAS CLEARLY PREDOMINANT IN
      TERMS OF NUMBER OF TELEVISION HOUSEHOLDS AND THEREFORE THESE
      COUNTIES ARE REPORTED HERE AS BEING IN THOSE ADI'S.  THESE
      DATA WERE OBTAINED FROM THE CONGRESSIONAL QUARTERLY'S
      CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS IN THE 70'S (SECOND EDITION) AND
      ARBITRON TELEVISION'S MARKET REPORT 1977-1978 AND TELEVISION
      HOUSEHOLDS BOOK 1977-1978.

      THE CAMPAIGN FINANCE DATA (REF. NOS. 1500-1541) CONTAINS
      INFORMATION ABOUT THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF CAMPAIGN RECEIPTS AND
      DISBURSEMENTS FOR THE 1976 AND 1978 SENATE AND HOUSE
      ELECTION CAMPAIGNS.  THE DATA ARE REPORTED SEPARATELY FOR
      EACH OF THE MAJOR PARTY CANDIDATES AND SUMMED WHEN THERE WERE
      TWO OR MORE MINOR PARTY CANDIDATES ON THE BALLOT (AND FILING
      A REPORT).

      THE DATA FOR THE 1976 ELECTIONS WERE OBTAINED FROM THE
      FEDERAL ELECTIONS COMMISSION DISCLOSURE SERIES; NO. 6:  1976
      SENATORIAL CAMPAIGNS RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES (APRIL, 1977);
      AND NO. 9:  1976 HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES CAMPAIGNS RECEIPTS
      AND EXPENDITURES (SEPTEMBER, 1977).  THE DATA FOR THE 1978
      ELECTIONS WERE OBTAINED FROM THE FEDERAL ELECTIONS COMMISSION
      REPORTS ON FINANCIAL ACTIVITY 1977-1978; INTERIM REPORT NO. 5:
      U.S. SENATE AND HOUSE CAMPAIGNS (JUNE, 1979).  THE FEC
      FIGURES REPORTED FOR THE 1976 ELECTIONS COVER ALL CAMPAIGN
      FINANCE ACTIVITY FOR THE PERIOD OF JANUARY 1, 1975-DECEMBER
      31, 1976.  THE FEC FIGURES REPORTED FOR THE 1978 ELECTIONS
      ARE OF AN INTERIM NATURE AND COVER THE PERIOD BEGINNING
      JANUARY 1, 1977.  THE FINAL REPORT WILL NOT BE ISSUED UNTIL
      "THE END OF THE 1977-1978 ELECTION CYCLE."  THE FIGURES
      FOR 1976 AND 1978 THEREFORE REPRESENT A COMBINATION OF
      PRIMARY AND GENERAL ELECTION RECEIPTS AND DISBURSEMENTS.


                               CENSUS DATA

      IN ADDITION TO THE CONTEXTUAL DATA THAT WERE ADDED TO THE
      1978 ELECTION STUDY, SPECIAL SUBSETS OF THE CONGRESSIONAL
      DISTRICT DATA BOOK (93RD CONGRESS) AND THE COUNTY AND CITY
      DATA BOOK, 1972 -- DATA FILES FOR THE 108 CONGRESSIONAL
      DISTRICTS AND THE 123 COUNTIES CONTAINED IN THE SURVEY --
      HAVE BEEN PREPARED BY THE ICPSR.

      ALL VARIABLES THAT ARE CONTAINED IN THE PRESENT ICPSR
      CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT DATA BOOK FILE AND IN THE COUNTY AND
      CITY DATA BOOK FILE (AT THE COUNTY LEVEL) ARE INCLUDED IN
      THESE SUBSETS.  IT SHOULD BE NOTED, HOWEVER, THAT BECAUSE OF
      CONGRESSIONAL REDISTRICTING FOLLOWING THE COLLECTION,
      PROCESSING, AND ORGANIZATION OF THE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT
      DATA BOOK FOR THE 93RD CONGRESS, CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT
      LEVEL CENSUS DATA VARIABLES WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR ANY OF
      THE CALIFORNIA CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS IN THE 1978 ELECTION
      STUDY SAMPLE OR FOR THE 3RD CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT IN TEXAS.
      UPON THE COMPLETION OF THE PROCESSING OF THE
      MACHINE-READABLE VERSION OF THE COUNTY AND CITY DATA BOOK,
      1977 BY THE ICPSR A SUBSET SIMILAR TO THE ONE DESCRIBED
      ABOVE WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE TO INTERESTED USERS.

      TO PERMIT MERGING OF THESE CENSUS DATA FILES WITH THE
      ELECTION STUDY SURVEY FILE,THE FILES ARE SORTED IN ASCENDING
      ORDER BY INTERVIEW NUMBER (REF.NO.2) AND CONTAIN 2,304 CASES.
      INDIVIDUALS INTERESTED IN ACQUIRING THESE SUPPLEMENTAL
      CONTEXTUAL DATASETS SHOULD ADDRESS THEIR SPECIFIC REQUESTS
      TO THE ICPSR.









>> 1978 SAMPLING INFORMATION

      THE RESEARCH DESIGN CALLED FOR THE SELECTION OF ABOUT
      100 CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS WHERE APPROXIMATELY 2500
      INTERVIEWS WOULD BE CONDUCTED FOLLOWING THE 1978
      CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS.  THE DESIGN STIPULATED THAT, ON THE
      AVERAGE, 25 PERSONAL INTERVIEWS WERE DESIRED FROM EACH
      CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.  CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS CONSTITUTED
      THE PRIMARY SAMPLING AREAS.  THE SAMPLE FOR THE 1978
      ELECTION STUDY MET TWO OBJECTIVES:

           1. A PROBABILITY SAMPLE OF UNITED STATES CITIZENS
              18 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER WHO RESIDED IN HOUSING
              UNITS WITHIN THE 48 STATES (THE DISTRICT OF
              COLUMBIA WAS EXCLUDED) EXCLUSIVE OF HOUSING UNITS
              ON MILITARY BASES.

           2. A PROBABILITY SAMPLE OF CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS
              IN CONTERMINOUS UNITED STATES, INCLUSIVE OF STATES
              WITH AT-LARGE-DISTRICTS.

      REGION, AS DEFINED BY THE CENSUS BUREAU FOUR-FOLD
      CLASSIFICATION, WAS ANOTHER VALID LEVEL OF ANALYSIS FOR THE
      1978 ELECTION SAMPLE; STATE, HOWEVER, WAS NOT.

      THE UNIVERSE OF 432 ELIGIBLE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS
      CONSTITUTED A RATHER HETEROGENEOUS COLLECTION.  FOR SAMPLING
      PURPOSES, THESE DISTRICTS WERE DIVIDED INTO 108 STRATA, EACH
      CONTAINING FOUR CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS OF ROUGHLY
      COMPARABLE CHARACTERISTICS THAT INCLUDED, INSOFAR AS
      POSSIBLE, HOMOGENEITY WITH RESPECT TO GEOGRAPHIC REGION,
      STATE, URBANIZATION, AND RECENT VOTING BEHAVIOR.  FROM EACH
      OF THE 108 STRATA, ONE DISTRICT WAS THEN SELECTED WITH
      PROBABILITY OF SELECTION IN PROPORTION TO THE 1975 ESTIMATED
      POPULATION FOR A TOTAL OF 108 DISTRICTS IN THE 1978 ELECTION
      STUDY SAMPLE.

      ALTHOUGH EQUAL SAMPLE SIZES FROM THE 108 SAMPLE
      DISTRICTS WERE DESIRED, SEVERAL FACTORS WORKED AGAINST
      ACHIEVING SUCH EQUALITIES:

           1. SOME DISTRICTS LOST 25 PERCENT OR MORE OF THEIR
              POPULATION SINCE THE APPORTIONMENTS MADE AFTER THE
              1970 CENSUS, AND OTHER DISTRICTS MADE SUBSTANTIAL
              POPULATION GAINS;

           2. WHILE REMARKABLE EQUALITY IN 1970 DISTRICT
              POPULATIONS WAS ACHIEVED WITHIN STATES, 2970
              DISTRICT POPULATIONS VARIED NOTICEABLY FROM
              STATE TO STATE;

           3. LACKING 1978 DATA ON HOUSING UNIT COUNTS BY BLOCK,
              SAMPLE CLUSTERS OF HOUSING UNITS MIGHT HAVE BEEN
              CONSIDERABLY LARGER OR SMALLER THAN THE DESIRABLE
              SAMPLE SIZE OF FOUR;

           4. DISTRICT SAMPLE SIZE DEPENDED HEAVILY ON THE
              COOPERATION OF DESIGNATED RESPONDENTS, NOT ALL OF
              WHOM WERE WILLING TO GRANT AN INTERVIEW.
      SAMPLING DISTRICTS WITH PROBABILITIES PROPORTIONATE TO 1975
      ESTIMATED POPULATIONS WAS AN ATTEMPT TO COUNTERACT SHIFTS IN
      POPULATION SINCE 1970. HOWEVER, CREATING STRATA THAT WERE
      HOMOGENEOUS WITH RESPECT TO STATE CONTRIBUTED IN
      INEQUALITIES IN STRATA SIZES AND, CONSEQUENTLY, IN SAMPLE
      SIZES WHEN A SELF-WEIGHTING SAMPLE OF HOUSING WAS TO BE
      MAINTAINED.  IN SPITE OF ALL REASONABLE EFFORTS TO LOCATE
      AREAS OF MAJOR NEW CONSTRUCTION OR DEMOLITION WITHIN SAMPLE
      AREAS, ACHIEVEMENT WAS IMPERFECT; THESE CONDITIONS ACCOUNTED
      FOR SOME OF THE VARIATIONS IN DISTRICT SAMPLE SIZES.

      WHILE THE 1978 ELECTION STUDY SAMPLE WAS DESIGNED TO YIELD
      ESTIMATES FOR CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS, THE SAMPLE WAS NOT
      INTENDED TO PRODUCE ESTIMATES OF EACH DISTRICT'S
      CONSTITUENCY.  THE WITHIN-DISTRICT SAMPLING OF CONSTITUENTS
      WAS CONDUCTED SO AS TO KEEP SAMPLING AND FIELD COSTS WITHIN
      REASONABLE BOUNDS.  IDEALLY, THE WITHIN-DISTRICT SAMPLING
      WOULD HAVE DISTRIBUTED SAMPLE SELECTIONS ACROSS THE
      DISTRICT.  HOWEVER, THIS SPECIFICATION WOULD HAVE BEEN
      IMPOSSIBLE TO SATISFY WITHIN THE CONSTRAINTS OF A NUMBER OF
      INTERVIEWS AT REASONABLE COSTS.  WHEN THE DISTRICT WAS PART
      OF A MAJOR CITY, THE SAMPLE OF EIGHT OR TEN CLUSTERS WAS
      DISTRIBUTED ACROSS THE DISTRICT.  BUT AS POPULATION DENSITY
      DECLINED, THE DISTRICT SAMPLE WAS CONFINED TO A PART OF THE
      GEOGRAPHIC AREA.  WHEN THE DISTRICT INCLUDED MANY COUNTIES,
      GENERALLY ONLY ONE WAS SELECTED FOR THE SAMPLE.  IN ALL
      DISTRICTS AND AT EACH STAGE OF SAMPLING, STRICT PROBABILITY
      SAMPLING PROCEDURES WERE USED.  SELECTIONS OF HOUSEHOLD
      CLUSTERS WERE SPREAD WITHIN THE DEFINED DISTRICT SAMPLE
      AREAS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING, HOWEVER,
      THAT SUCH SELECTIONS WOULD NEVER MIRROR WITHIN-DISTRICT
      HETEROGENEITY OR SERVE AS A BASIS FOR DISTRICT ESTIMATES.

      THE SAMPLE DESIGN ATTEMPTED TO TAKE MAXIMUM ADVANTAGE OF THE
      SURVEY RESEARCH CENTER'S NATIONAL SAMPLE OF HOUSEHOLDS.
      HOWEVER, SINCE THE DESIGN WAS OF CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS AND
      NOT COUNTIES OR CITIES AS PRIMARY AREAS, THE OVERLAP OF
      COUNTIES AND DISTRICTS WAS LESS THAN PERFECT.  FOR EXAMPLE,
      THE SAMPLES FROM SOME DISTRICTS WERE LOCATED IN AREAS NEVER
      BEFORE INCLUDED IN SRC SAMPLE AREAS.  CONVERSELY THERE WERE
      SOME SRC SAMPLE AREAS THAT WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE ELECTION
      STUDY.  (NOTE THAT THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA WAS NOT INCLUDED
      IN THE STUDY POPULATION).

      AT THE OVERALL SAMPLING RATE OF 1 IN 5040, APPROXIMATELY 948
      CLUSTERS AVERAGING ABOUT FOUR HOUSING UNITS WERE DESIGNATED
      FOR THE SAMPLE.  A TOTAL OF 3346 HOUSEHOLDS WERE CONTRACTED
      FOR PARTICIPATION IN THE STUDY.  IN 2,304 OF THESE (68.9%),
      AN INTERVIEW WAS COMPLETED WITH THE HOUSEHOLD MEMBER
      DESIGNATED AS THE RESPONDENT THROUGH AN OBJECTIVE SELECTION
      PROCEDURE ALLOWING FOR NO SUBSTITUTIONS.  REFUSALS ACCOUNTED
      FOR 22.6% OF THE NON-INTERVIEWS; STILL OTHER REASONS
      INCLUDING SICKNESS, LANGUAGE DIFFICULTIES, BEING AWAY ON
      VACATION, AND SO ON, ACCOUNTED FOR THE REMAINING 8.5% OF THE
      NON-INTERVIEWS.
      EIGHTEEN INTERVIEWS WERE TAKEN WITH THE WRONG RESPONDENT.
      ATTEMPTS WERE MADE IN EACH CASE TO OBTAIN AN INTERVIEW WITH
      THE CORRECT RESPONDENT.  HOWEVER, THE RIGHT RESPONDENT
      WAS EITHER UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO BE INTERVIEWED.  THESE
      INCORRECT RESPONDENTS DID NOT CLUSTER IN ANY DISTRICT OR
      WITH ANY SINGLE INTERVIEWER.  THE ERRORS RESULTED FROM
      INCORRECT APPLICATION OF THE SELECTION TABLE AND DID NOT
      REPRESENT ANY ATTEMPT AT SYSTEMATIC REPLACEMENT OF
      RESPONDENTS.  A DECISION WAS MADE TO RETAIN THE DATA AND
      TREAT THE PROBLEM AS RANDOM ERROR.  THE SPECIFIC INTERVIEWS
      ARE LISTED BELOW BY INTERVIEW NUMBER AND STATE AND
      CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT:

                                   X

Line 2 - VARIABLE NAME.  Note that in the codebook the variable name
         (usually a 'number') does not include the "V" prefix which is 
         used in the release SAS and SPSS data definition files
         (.sas and .sps files) for all variables including those
         which do not have 'number' names.  For example the variable
         "VERSION" in the codebook is "VVERSION" in the data definition
         files.

Line 2 - "NAME".  This is the variable label used in the SAS and SPSS
         data definition files (.sas and .sps files).  Some codebooks 
         exclude this.

Line 3 - COLUMNS.  Columns in the ASCII data file (.dat file).

Line 4 - CHARACTER OR NUMERIC.  If numeric and the variable is a decimal
         rather than integer variable, the numer of decimal places is 
         also indicated (e.g. "NUMERIC  DEC 4")

Line 5 - Values which are assigned to missing by default in the Study's
         SAS and and SPSS data definition files (.sas and .sps files).

Line 7 - Actual question text for survey variables or a description of 
         non-survey variables (for example, congressional district).
         Survey items usually include the question number (for example
         "B1a.") from the Study questionnaire; beginning in 1996 
         non-survey items also have unique item numbers (for example
         "CSheet.1").

Line 9 - A dashed or dotted line usually separates question text from
         any other documentation which follows.

Line 10- When present, annotation provided by Study staff is presented
         below the question text/description and preceding code values.

Lines 11-16
         Code values are listed with descriptive labels.  Valid codes
         (those not having 'missing' status in line 5) are presented
         first, followed by the values described in line 5.  For
         continuous variables, one line may appear providing the range
         of possible values.  A blank line usually separates the 'valid'
         and 'missing' values.

Lines 11-16
         Marginals are usually provided for discrete variables.  The
         counts may be unweighted or weighted; check the Study codebook
         introductory text to determine weight usage.


>> 1978 PROCESSING INFORMATION


      THIS STUDY WAS PROCESSED ACCORDING TO THE STANDARD ICPSR
      PROCEDURES. THE DATA WERE CHECKED FOR INCONSISTENT AND
      ILLEGAL CODES WHICH, WHENEVER FOUND, WERE CORRECTED BY
      REFERRING TO THE ORIGINAL INTERVIEW SCHEDULES.

      ALL THE DICTIONARY RECORDS FOR THE SURVEY PORTION OF THIS
      STUDY CONTAIN THE LAST TWO DIGITS OF THE YEAR ("78") WITH
      THE APPROPRIATE QUESTION NUMBER IN THE FIRST SEVEN
      CHARACTERS OF THE VARIABLE NAME.

      THE USER SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THROUGHOUT THE A SECTION, THE
      C SECTION, AND THE H SECTION OF THE SURVEY QUESTIONNAIRE,
      THERE ARE REFERENCES TO CANDIDATE NUMBERS ("CAND #") AND
      CANDIDATE NAME NUMBERS ("NAME #").  BOTH OF THESE PHRASES
      REFER TO THE CANDIDATE NAME NUMBERS.  FOR EXAMPLE, IN THE
      QUESTIONNAIRE, Q.C12F SAYS:

         Q.C12F.  WHERE WOULD YOU PLACE ----------------------- ?
                                          NAME #32, 34 OR 36

      THE INTERVIEWER WAS INSTRUCTED TO FILL IN THE DISTRICT OR
      STATE CANDIDATE NAMES IN ANY BLANK SLOTS SIMILAR TO THIS
      ONE.  A COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF THE HOUSE, SENATORIAL AND
      GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE AND INCUMBENT NAMES WAS PREPARED
      FOR EACH OF THE 108 DISTRICTS IN THE SAMPLE, AND THE
      INTERVIEWERS USED THESE LISTS TO PRE-EDIT AND INSERT
      THE SPECIFIC NAMES FOR EACH DISTRICT.  THESE CANDIDATE
      LISTS HAVE BEEN REPRODUCED IN NOTES 9, 10, AND 11 IN
      THE APPENDICES.

      THE (NAME #) OR (CAND #) EXPRESSION GENERALLY INCLUDED MORE
      THAN ONE CANDIDATE NUMBER.  FOR ANY GIVEN DISTRICT, HOWEVER,
      ONLY ONE OF TWO POSSIBILITIES WAS TRUE:  1)  THERE WAS ONE
      AND ONLY ONE NAME IN THE DISTRICT CANDIDATE LIST THAT
      QUALIFIED FOR INCLUSION ON THE BASIS OF THE NUMBERS LISTED
      IN THE EXPRESSION; OR 2)  THERE WAS NO NUMBER IN THE
      DISTRICT CANDIDATE LIST THAT MATCHED ANY OF THE NUMBERS IN
      THE EXPRESSION.  AN INSTANCE OF NO MATCHING NUMBERS COULD
      ARISE IN THE CASE OF A QUESTION ABOUT A RETIRING INCUMBENT
      TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES IN A CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT
      IN WHICH THE INCUMBENT WAS SEEKING RE-ELECTION.  OR,
      NON-MATCHING COULD OCCUR FOR A QUESTION ABOUT THE CANDIDATE
      CHALLENGING THE DISTRICT INCUMBENT WHEN, IN FACT, THE
      INCUMBENT WAS RUNNING UNOPPOSED.  INTERVIEWERS WERE
      INSTRUCTED TO MARK THOSE QUESTIONS INVOLVING UNMATCHED
      CANDIDATE NUMBERS IN THE (NAME #) OR (CAND #) EXPRESSION AS
      "INAPPROPRIATE."  THESE CANDIDATE NAME NUMBERS WERE DELETED
      FROM THE TEXT OF THE QUESTIONS IN THE ICPSR CODEBOOK AND
      WERE SUBSTITUTED WITH APPROPRIATE PHRASES.  FOR EXAMPLE,
      Q.A16K IN THE QUESTIONNAIRE REFERS TO "NAME #10, 13, OR 14."
      THE CODEBOOK DOCUMENTATION FOR Q.A16K REFERS TO THE  "SENATE
      INCUMBENT IN THE STATE WHERE RACE HELD."  A REFERENCE TO
      NOTE 8 (CANDIDATE LIST), PROVIDES THE LINK BETWEEN THE
      CANDIDATE NUMBERS IN THE QUESTIONNAIRE AND THE VERBAL
      DESCRIPTIONS IN THE CODEBOOK DOCUMENTATION.  ALTHOUGH THE
      CANDIDATE LIST, USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CODEBOOK,
      SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT DOCUMENTATION FOR EACH VARIABLE
      AFFECTED, IT MAY BE NECESSARY FOR THE USER TO REFER TO THE
      QUESTIONNAIRE FOR FURTHER CLARIFICATION OF THE TYPES OF
      CANDIDATES BEING REFERENCED IN EACH CASE.

      EACH CANDIDATE OR INCUMBENT IN THE CANDIDATE LIST WAS
      ASSIGNED A NUMERIC TWO-DIGIT CODE VALUE.  CODE VALUES
      BEGINNING WITH 1 (10-19) WERE FOR THE SENATE, CODES
      BEGINNING WITH 3 (30-39) WERE FOR THE HOUSE OF
      REPRESENTATIVES, AND CODE VALUES BEGINNING WITH 5 (50-59)
      WERE FOR GOVERNORS. IN ADDITION, THE CODE VALUE ASSIGNED TO
      EACH NAME HAD AN INTRINSIC MEANING -- IT DENOTED THE
      FUNCTIONAL ROLE OF THAT PERSON IN THE CONTEXT OF THE 1978
      GENERAL ELECTION.  FOR  EXAMPLE, CANDIDATE NUMBER 30 WOULD
      ALWAYS DENOTE A HOUSE INCUMBENT NOT SEEKING RE-ELECTION TO
      THAT OFFICE; CANDIDATE NUMBER 33 WAS USED FOR A DEMOCRATIC
      HOUSE INCUMBENT SEEKING RE-ELECTION AND PLAYING, THEREFORE,
      THE DUAL ROLE OF DISTRICT INCUMBENT AND DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE
      FOR THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES IN THE 1978 ELECTIONS.

      IN ADDITION TO THE USUAL SURVEY DATA, CONTEXTUAL AND RECODED
      VARIABLES HAVE BEEN ADDED TO EACH RESPONDENT'S RECORD.  THESE
      DATA CONSIST OF HISTORICAL ELECTORAL DATA (WHICH INCLUDE THE
      ELECTION RETURNS AT THE STATE, COUNTY AND CONGRESSIONAL
      LEVELS FOR THE 1927, 1974, AND 1976 ELECTIONS), 1978 ELECTION
      RETURNS AT THE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT LEVEL AND THE COUNTY
      LEVEL, INCUMBENCY CHARACTERISTICS (WHICH INCLUDE VARIABLES
      SUCH AS PARTY, SENIORITY, AND COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENTS FOR THE
      CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS' CURRENT REPRESENTATIVES IN THE U.S.
      HOUSE), CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES' CHARACTERISTICS (WHICH
      INCLUDE VARIABLES SUCH AS PARTY, EDUCATION, OCCUPATION,
      AND ORGANIZATIONAL MEMBERSHIP FOR THE CANDIDATES FOR THE
      OFFICE OF U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES IN THE 1978 GENERAL
      ELECTION), INDIVIDUAL VOTER RECORD (WHICH INCLUDES VARIABLES
      SUCH AS REGISTRATION INFORMATION, 1978 PRIMARY AND GENERAL
      ELECTION RETURNS FOR GOVERNOR, U.S. SENATOR AND U.S.  65500840
      REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE PRECINCT OF INTERVIEW AND THE PRECINCT
      OF RESIDENCE), CHECKLIST OF ITEMS COLLECTED (WHICH INCLUDES
      VARIABLES SUCH AS SAMPLE BALLOTS, ELECTION RESULTS, VOTING
      REQUIREMENTS AND POLL HOURS), MEDIA STRUCTURE (WHICH INCLUDES
      VARIABLES SUCH AS THE NUMBER OF TV HOUSEHOLDS, AREAS OF
      DOMINANT INFLUENCE AND THE NUMBER OF CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS
      TOTALLY OR PARTIALLY WITHIN AN AREA OF DOMINANT INFLUENCE),
      AND FEDERAL ELECTION COMMITTEE DATA (WHICH INCLUDES VARIABLES
      SUCH AS 1976 AND 1978 U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND
      SENATE CANDIDATE STATUS, CAMPAIGN MONEY RECIEVED, AND
      CAMPAIGN DISBURSEMENTS).  THESE DATA WERE MERGED WITH THE
      SURVEY DATA AND ARE DIFFERENTIATED FROM THE INDIVIDUAL-LEVEL
      SURVEY DATA INSOFAR AS THE VARIABLE NUMBERS ASSIGNED TO THEM
      ARE IN THE "1000" SERIES.  THESE DATA WERE CHECKED FOR
      INCONSISTENT AND ILLEGAL CODES AND WERE CORRECTED WHEN FOUND.

      SOME OF THE VARIABLES IN THE SURVEY AND CONTEXTUAL PORTIONS
      OF THE STUDY WERE RECODED TO YEILD INFORMATION AT THE
      DEMOCRATIC, REPUBLICAN, INCUMBENT AND NON-INCUMBENT LEVELS.
      THE VARIABLE NUMBERS ASSIGNED TO THESE RECODED VARIABLES
      ARE IN THE "2000" SERIES.

      THIS STUDY WAS PROCESSED BY A TEAM OF DATA PROCESSORS --
      C. GAYE BURPEE, STEVE WINEBERG, MARGARETH MILLER, GINGER
      MAGGIO, AND WENDELL WILLACY.
