>> 2002 GENERAL INTRODUCTION

The 2002 American National Election Study survey was conducted between 
September 18 and December 6 of the year 2002, and consisted of both a 
pre-election survey and a post-election survey.  The number of cases in 
this Full Release file, 1511, includes all respondents from both the 
pre-election and post-election surveys.  Respondents who completed a
pre-election survey but not a post-election survey are shown as missing 
in the post-election survey variables.  

Accompanying the dataset is a codebook containing detailed variable 
descriptions, as well as data descriptor statement files that can be used
to read the raw data file into common data analysis software packages
such as SAS, SPSS, and STATA.  
   
>> 2002 STUDY DESCRIPTION

The 2002 American National Election Study was conducted by the Center for 
Political Studies at the Institute for Social Research, under the general
direction of the Principal Investigators, Nancy Burns and Donald R. Kinder.  
Data collection services were provided by the Indiana University Center 
for Survey Research.

This is the latest in a series of studies of American national elections 
produced by the Center for Political Studies and the Survey Research Center 
at the University of Michigan.  The study would not have been possible 
without the financial support of a consortium of organizations, including, 
in alphabetical order: the Carnegie Corporation, the Center for Information 
and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE), the Russell Sage 
Foundation, the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research, the 
University of Michigan Office of the Provost, and the University of 
Michigan Office of the Vice President for Research.

Since 1978, the National Election Studies have been designed through 
consultation between the Principal Investigators and a national Board of 
Overseers.  Board members during the 2002 National Election Study included 
John H. Aldrich (Duke University), Stephen Ansolabehere (Massachusetts 
Institute of Technology), Nancy Burns, ex officio (University of 
Michigan), Russell Dalton (University of California - Irvine), John Mark 
Hansen, chair (University of Chicago), Robert Huckfeldt (University of 
California - Davis), Simon Jackman (Stanford University), Donald Kinder, 
ex officio (University of Michigan), Jon A. Krosnick (Ohio State 
University), Arthur Lupia (University of Michigan), Wendy Rahn (University 
of Minnesota), W. Phillips Shively (University of Minnesota), and Laura 
Stoker, past chair (University of California - Berkeley).  As part of the 
study planning process a stimulus letter was sent to members of the 
scholarly community soliciting input on study plans.

>> 2002 STUDY CONTENT AND ADMINISTRATION

The 2002 American National Election Study should allow scholars to assess 
what sense Americans made of the terrorist attacks of 2001 and the election
contest of 2000.  The data should allow charting of the causes and 
consequences of changes in a wide variety of outcomes - social trust, civic 
engagement, political participation, and public opinion, to name a few. 
Also included was a special module of questions on economic inequality - 
pushing on the conditions under which economic inequality could be a 
political issue and the reasons why it is not.  These data should be all 
the more powerful through their link to questions from the long-term ANES 
time series that were repeated in the 2002 study.

The pre-election survey began on September 18, 2002 and ended November 4, 
2002. The post-election survey began on November 6, 2002 and ended 
December 6, 2002.  The study is unusual in that is it the first midterm 
study in the ANES time series to include both a pre-election and 
post-election survey, and it is also the first biennial ANES time-series 
study conducted entirely by telephone.

Data collection was conducted by the Indiana University Center for Survey 
Research, with all interviewing conducted by telephone using 
Computer-Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI) technology.  The CATI 
instrument was programmed using CASES, a software package developed by 
the Computer-assisted Survey Methods (CSM) Program at the University of 
California at Berkeley.  All interviews were conducted in English, as 
there were no translations of the questionnaire to a language other 
than English.

The pre-election study sample was released in three random sub-samples to 
spread completions out over the pre-election period and perhaps help in 
understanding timing issues such as campaign effects. All individuals who 
completed a pre-election interview were contacted to be interviewed again 
in the post-election study. The post-election design did not delay the 
release of cases - the intent was to follow a "quick take" scenario, with 
as many completions gained as close to election day as possible.

For the core interview (defined as the portion of the interview after the
front end, but prior to the interviewer observations), the pre-election 
study ran approximately 36 minutes per interview, and the post-election 
study approximately 32 minutes per interview.  Randomization was used 
extensively throughout both the pre-election and post-election 
questionnaires, for purposes of randomizing order within batteries or 
question series, application of half-sampling to some questions, and 
random ordering of question blocks.  

Note: Due to limitations in available technology, randomization in the 
2002 survey instruments was limited to a random assignment to two possible
alternatives.  When applied to the ordering of questions in a series, 
'randomization' actually constituted randomized assignment to two possible 
orderings of the series items, determined in advance, rather than 
randomized selection from every ordering possible.

The sample for the 2002 study was comprised of 2982 cases in two sample
components.  The first portion of the sample, the "Panel," consisted of the 
1807 respondents who provided an interview in ANES 2000.  The second portion 
of the sample, the "Fresh Cross," consisted of a newly pulled RDD sample of 
1175 cases.  

Users are advised to become familiar with the weight variables provided in
the dataset, and apply them as appropriate to their analyses to correct for
non-response and other sampling issues. 

Final disposition codes for each case were provided by the data collection
organization and recoded to categories identified in the American 
Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR) Standards and Best 
Practices guide.  The citation for the AAPOR document is:

        The American Association for Public Opinion Research. 2000. 
        Standard Definitions: Final Dispositions of Case Codes and Outcome 
        Rates for Surveys.  Ann Arbor, Michigan: AAPOR.

Eligibility: All Panel cases were considered eligible based on their 
participation in the 2000 study, unless they were found to be deceased at 
the time of the 2002 study.  Fresh Cross cases were divided into Eligible 
and Not Eligible categories, with Unknown Eligibility being grouped in with 
the Eligible cases.

Interviews: Interviews were either considered a completion, or not a 
completion - partial interviews were not accepted in the 2002 study.  All 
Eligible (or Unknown Eligibility) cases that did not provide an interview 
were categorized as Non-Response.

The Panel sample consisted of 1807 cases, 1784 of which were considered 
Eligible, and 21 of which were considered Not Eligible due to being 
deceased. The Panel yielded 1187 pre-election interviews (597 non-
response), 1070 of which went on to also provide a post-election 
interview (117 non-response).

The Fresh Cross sample consisted of 1175 cases, 926 of which were 
considered Eligible* and 249 of which were considered Not Eligible due to 
being a disconnected or non-working number (105), a non-residence (66), 
fax/data line (67), or having no U.S. citizen age 18 or older (11).  The 
Fresh Cross sample yielded 324 pre-election interviews (602 non-response), 
276 of which went on to also provide a post-election interview 
(48 non-response).

* Of special note are the 25 cases in the Fresh Cross sample with no 
persons available who spoke English, and for which we did not have a 
multi-lingual interviewer available to determine eligibility.  These cases 
were categorized as Eligible Non-Response, because we were uncertain of 
eligibility (and Unknown Eligibility cases were regularly grouped in with 
Eligible cases). Regardless, we could not have conducted an interview for 
these cases because the 2002 questionnaire was only available in English.  

2002 Election Study: Response Rates

-----------------------------------------------------
Pre-Election          1511      2707            55.8%
Post-Election         1346      1511            89.1% 

** The Pre-Election Response Rate is calculated as the total number of 
Pre-Election Interviews over the total number of Eligible (and Unknown
Eligibility) cases in the sample.  The Post-Election Response Rate is a 
re-interview rate, calculated as the total number of Post-Election 
Interviews over the total number of Pre-Election Interviews.

The field and study staff implemented a number of strategies throughout
the study to bolster response rates.  

In the pre-election study: 

Respondents received advance mailings by priority mail with a letter, 
brochure, and small non-monetary gift (a 120-minute phone card with no 
special logo) enclosed.  A respondent incentive of $20 per completion was
offered to all cases.  Cases that showed resistance to interview and for 
whom we had a mailing address (not all Fresh Cross cases came with a 
mailing address) were usually mailed a letter tailored to their reason for 
resistance.  In those letters, Fresh Cross cases were offered an augmented
incentive of $40 per completion, with Panel cases instead being reminded 
of the standard $20 incentive.  Cases that showed reluctance to interview
were also assigned to a refusal conversion team of interviewers that 
received special training.

Near the end of the pre-election study, on October 28, a letter was mailed 
to all Panel cases that had not yet yielded a completion; the letter 
offered an augmented incentive of $50 per completion.  Sometime thereafter,
the decision was made to also offer the remaining Fresh Cross cases $50 
per completion, but the offer to them was made only by telephone contact 
(and not by letter). 

In the post-election study:

Respondents received advance mailings by regular mail with a letter and a 
different, small non-monetary gift (a keychain flashlight with a 
University of Michigan logo).  Respondents were offered the same dollar 
amount as they received in the pre-election study as an incentive to 
complete a post-election interview.

Throughout both the pre-election and post-election study a number of 
interviewer incentive strategies were put in place, none of which 
involved additional monetary payment to the interviewers, but rather 
involved group goal-setting, individual and group recognition, 
morale-building gatherings, and non-monetary gifts (small gift 
certificates, leftover phone cards, and the like). 

SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT IDENTIFICATION:

Names of candidates were preloaded into the post-election survey 
instrument following identification of the respondent's congressional 
district; most of this identification was supplied by Marketing Systems
Group (who supplied the Fresh Cross sample component), supplemented by
additional staff research.  District identification was based on the 
latest available address information prior to the post-election interview.  

As a consequence of the significant redistricting prior to the 2002 
elections, the 2002 House "incumbent" may or may not have previously been 
the representative for the particular piece of geography in which the 
respondent was located for the 2002 preload.  When it was clear that such 
a candidate had not previously represented the preload-associated district 
of the respondent, the candidate was assigned a code as if he or she were 
new to the respondent's location, that is, as a non-incumbent in an 'open' 
race; cases where redistricting is especially complex and unclear are 
flagged as unknown for 'incumbent' status.  For Panel respondents, the 
2000 preload district number is included in the data, in addition to a 
summary variable identifying whether the respondent had evaluated either 
the 2002 Democratic or 2002 Republican candidate previously in 2000 
(although this includes not only incumbents but repeat challengers/
open-race candidates).


>> 2002 SAMPLING INFORMATION

For information on the Panel component of the 2002 Study sample, see
"2000 NATIONAL ELECTION STUDY SAMPLE DESIGN" in the codebook appendix
file.


Fresh Cross-Section Component of the 2002 Sample

The new "Fresh Cross" sample was generated by Marketing Systems Group 
(MSG) using their GENESYS sampling system.  

To create the Fresh Cross sample, MSG pulled from GENESYS (in proportion
to their working banks) a random, nationally proportional sample, 
stratified by only one variable: Census Division.  After a "Super Purge"
to remove business and non-working numbers, the generated RDD sample 
totaled 3328 cases.  Randomly selected from these 3328 cases were the 
1175 cases that became the Fresh Cross sample.  The remaining 2153 cases
were set aside as a replicate that was never used in the course of the 
study.

Along with each sampled telephone number, MSG provided ANES with a name 
and address that was thought to likely match to the provided telephone 
number.  Whether the name and/or address were correctly matched was 
unknown going into the study, however, and in some cases no name and/or 
address were available. 


>> 2002 WEIGHT DOCUMENTATION

2002 ANES Analysis Weights

There are two weight variables in the ANES 2002 data file.  The variable, 
V020101, should be used for weighted analysis of the data for the 
1,511 pre-election respondents.  The second weight variable, V020102, 
should be used for weighted analysis of the data for the 1,346 
post-election respondents.

These weights have been developed for combined cross-sectional analysis 
of the 2002 ANES panel and new RDD cross-sectional samples.  However, 
these weight variables may also be used by analysts who are interested 
in analyzing only the data for panel respondents who were interviewed in 
2000 and reinterviewed in 2002.  The final 2002 ANES pre-election and 
post-election weights have been scaled so that the weights sum to the 
nominal sample sizes of the pre-election (n=1511) and post-election 
(n=1346) respondent samples.

The 2002 ANES analysis weights are constructed as the product of three 
factors: a factor to reflect differential sampling or inclusion 
probabilities for survey respondents; a factor to compensate for 
differential nonresponse among sampled persons; and a post-
stratification factor to adjust weighted demographic distributions 
for the sample to more precise population values estimated from the 
U.S. Current Population Survey (CPS).  The following paragraphs provide 
a brief summary of the each of these three major components.

Selection probability factor:

The 2002 ANES sample combines two independent samples of the U.S. 
household population: a "panel" sample derived from the probability 
sample of cooperating respondents in the 2000 ANES survey and a fresh 
cross-sectional sample derived through a new screening of a random 
digit dialing (RDD) sample of U.S. households.  Both independent samples 
are designed to be representative of the current U.S. household population.
Since 2002 recontact was attempted with all cooperating 2000 ANES 
respondents, the 2002 ANES selection weighting factor for the panel 
sample members was set equal to their final 2000 ANES weight.  Since the 
new RDD cross-section sample is an equal probability sample of U.S. 
telephone households, the preliminary selection weighting factor for new 
RDD cross-section sample cases was set equal to the number of eligible 
adults in the sample household.  This preliminary weight was then scaled 
to equal the nominal count of RDD respondent and nonrespondent cases. 

Nonresponse Adjustment:

Response rates were calculated separately for the panel and new cross-section.
In each case, 9 cells were formed based on 9 Census Divisions.  For each cell
the nonresponse adjustment factor is equal to the inverse of the response rate
for the cell.  Across the 9 Census Divisions, the nonresponse adjustment
factors range from 1.36 to 1.65 for the panel sample and from 2.10 to 4.12 
for the cross-section sample.

Post-stratification Adjustment

The post-stratification adjustments to the 2002 ANES weights use the 2002 CPS 
March Supplement estimates as the adjustment standard.  The adjustments 
were performed separately for the pre- and post-election samples.  The 
cells used to compute the population post-stratification factors were formed 
by crosstabulating 6 age groups by 4 levels of education.  The age groups
were:  18-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70+.  The education levels 
were:   < high school graduation, high school graduate, some college, and 
4 years of college or more.  Poststratification adjustment factors were
created for each of these cells by dividing the CPS weighted total by the 
ANES weighted total for respondents in the adjustment cell.  The final 
weight for each sample case is the product of its sample selection factor,
nonresponse adjustment factor and post-stratification adjustment.

Centering of the Weights

The final 2002 ANES analysis weights are the "centered" version of the
poststratified weights.  These weights sum to the number of respondents 
in the pre- and post-election surveys(1,511 pre-election respondents and 
1,346 post-election respondents, respectively).

Permission to use, for approved scholarly research, the more detailed
geographic-information variables documented in this codebook (but not
available in the public-release datafile) may be obtained through special
permission from the ANES Board of Overseers. 

In addition, text responses to open-ended questions are kept strictly
confidential except through special permission obtained from the ANES
Board of Overseers for researchers who wish to develop coding schemes
pursuant to approved scholarly research. 

More information about special permission is available from the ANES Web 
site or from ANES staff.


>> 2002 FILE STRUCTURE AND INFORMATION

The data file for the AMERICAN NATIONAL ELECTION STUDY, 2002: PRE-AND 
POST-ELECTION STUDY is constructed with a single logical record for each
respondent.  There are 731 variables for 1511 respondents.

The 'version' for released study files from the 2002 National Election
Study (raw ASCII data file, data descriptor statement files, or codebook
files) corresponds to the date on which the file was made available
to the public.  The date of codebook and data descriptor files (SAS, SPSS, 
and STATA statement files) appears at the head of the file.  When a
new raw ASCII data file is released, the variable "Version" identifies the
date of the file.


>> 2002 PROCESSING INFORMATION

The data collection was processed according to standard processing procedures. 
The data were checked for inconsistent code values which, when found, were
corrected or recoded to missing data values. Consistency checks were
performed.  Annotation was added by the processors for explanatory
purposes.

NOTE: THIS EXAMPLE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN ACTUAL ANES VARIABLE

LINE 02
Contains identifiers, including (left to right) the variable name, the
question "tag" or item number (Q9a), and the variable label.  Since the
variable label begins with the question tag, the question tag only appears
once, as part of the variable label.

LINES 05-08
This describes who is being asked the question, inverse to the INAP
conditions (lines 34-35).  Each line ending with ":" describes one condition
that has been met to reach this question.
"/" at the end of a line is equivalent to an "OR" between the condition
preceding and the condition following the "/".  In this example, respondents
who were asked this question were respondents who 1) said they voted, and
who 2) said they voted specifically for President, and who 3) voted for a
major party Presidential candidate OR for another party's candidate.  Note
that a corresponding "/" sometimes appears in the question text when
question wording varies according to which of the OR conditions applies. See
lines 12-17.

LINES 12-17
Several conventions are observed in codebook presentation of question text.
1) Text bracketed between ">" and "<" (line 12, line 15) indicates that
   case-specific text was loaded onto the instrument by the survey
   application.
   In this example, ">NAME OF MAJOR PARTY<" indicates that either 
   "Democratic" or "Republican" was loaded into the question text, 
   depending up which major party candidate R indicated he had voted for
   earlier in the questionnaire   
2) Text bracketed between "[" and "]" (lines 12-14; line 15) displays
   text options, separated by "/".  In this example, the first option is for
   Rs who had voted for a major party candidate; the first 2 sentences read
   to these respondent are:
  "You've indicated that you voted for the >NAME OF MAJOR PARTY< 
   Presidential candidate in 2004. How well has the >NAME OF MAJOR PARTY<
   party performed over the past four years?"
   On the other hand, in this example, if R voted for another party's
   candidate, the first 2 sentences are:
  "You've indicated that you voted for the >NAME OF OTHER PARTY< party in
   2004. How well has that party performed over the past four years?"
3) Text in parentheses (line 17) is read at the interviewer's discretion.
4) Text in CAPS, other than text bracketed with ">" "<" per 1), indicates
   words or phrases that appeared underlined in the instrument for emphasis.
   In this example (lines 16-17), the words "very good", "good", "bad", and 
   "very bad" had appeared underlined for interviewer emphasis..

LINE 21
With few exceptions, interviewer instructions appear in the instrument
immediately following the question text.

LINES 34-35
INAP describes the specific paths of all respondents whom the instrument
skips over the question.  Each condition which results in a skip is listed,
separated by ";".>> 2004 Variable Description List
