For the ANES time-series, the sections of the 'Likes-Dislikes' master code apply to parties, candidates, or both, as follows, although for the 2006 Pilot no section is necessarily restricted from application to federal government likes-dislikes: 1- People (TIME-SERIES: party) 2- Characteristics (TIME-SERIES: party) 3- Experience, ability (TIME-SERIES: candidate) 4- Leadership qualities (TIME-SERIES: candidate) 5- Personal qualities (TIME-SERIES: candidate) 6- Party connections (TIME-SERIES: candidate) 7- Government management (TIME-SERIES: party, candidate) 8- Miscellaneous (TIME-SERIES: party, candidate) 9- Government activity/philosophy (TIME-SERIES: party, candidate) 10- Domestic policies (TIME-SERIES: party, candidate) 11- Group connections (TIME-SERIES: party, candidate) Every category from the time-series master coding scheme which has been used to code a response to the 2006 Pilot Study federal government 'likes' or 'dislikes' question is flagged with an asterisk (*) and documented with specific indication how the code was used; in each instance, text following "FEDERAL GOVERNMENT:" in the documentation (code label) provides the specific description of 2006 Pilot application. New codes begin "FEDERAL GOVERNMENT:". GENERAL NOTE: "==>" indicates a code inserted into the numeric order out of place; placement is according to topic. For such codes, a placeholder entry flagged "<==" in the actual position of numeric order, together with text "Located after code XXXX" or "Located before code XXXX," also indicates the removal of that code's documentation to the other location. ............................................................................
