Over the years, the ANES has used pilot studies to test new questions that can be included in later national surveys. Data from these studies have been very informative. Some have been used to convey substantive and methodological insights in widely-read publications, while others have served as the basis for technical reports that have directly improved subsequent ANES data collections. The 2006 ANES Pilot Study was conducted for the purpose of testing new questions and conducting methodological research to inform the design of future ANES studies. As such, it is not considered part of the ANES time series that has been conducted since 1948, and the pilot study only includes time series questions necessary to evaluate the new content. This Full Release dataset contains all 675 interviews, with the survey portion of the interview lasting just over 37 minutes on average. The study had a re-interview rate of 56.25% [675 completions / (1211 in sample– 11 deceased respondents)]. 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. >> 2006 PILOT STUDY acknowledgments ANES is funded and supported by the American National Science Foundation, Stanford University, and the University of Michigan. The study's Principal Investigators are Jon A. Krosnick and Arthur Lupia. The Principal Investigators wish to thank the several hundred American citizens who took the time to respond to the survey and the many researchers who submitted proposals for questionnaire content. The Principal Investigators were supported in the design and implementation of the study by ANES staff at Stanford University and the University of Michigan, by the ANES Board of Overseers, and by staff at Schulman, Ronca & Bucuvalas, Inc. (SRBI), who conducted the data collection. Researchers who submitted winning proposals for questionnaire content were Dolores Albarracin, Scott Althaus, David Barker, Adam Berinsky, Stephen C.

The Online Commons is designed to increase participation in, and the transparency of, the survey development process. The response to this new opportunity was tremendous. Over 300 scholars from a range of scientific disciplines registered for the Online Commons. Collectively, they proposed over 1100 questions - with many coming from younger faculty and graduate students. At the close of the proposal period, an evaluation process commenced, with the knowledge that only about 120 of the 1100 questions could be included on the Pilot Study due to survey length constraints. Content of the 2006 Pilot Study is organized primarily by topics related to contributing proposals, in 29 modules. MODULE 1: Character judgements MODULE 16: Efficacy MODULE 2: Defensive confidence MODULE 17: Trust in government MODULE 3: Need for closure MODULE 18: Media MODULE 4: Belief in a just world MODULE 19: Party identification MODULE 5: Self-monitoring MODULE 20: Abortion MODULE 6: Trust MODULE 21: Tolerance MODULE 7: Values MODULE 22: Justice MODULE 8: Borrowing MODULE 23: Gender MODULE 9: Sociotropic voting MODULE 24: Tax MODULE 10: Religion MODULE 25: Partisan differences MODULE 11: Christianity MODULE 26: Vote MODULE 12: Optimism/pessimism MODULE 27: Branching experiments- MODULE 13: Social networks presidential approval MODULE 14: Attention to politics MODULE 28: Economy MODULE 15: Ambivalence MODULE 29: Death ANES Online Commons proposals that resulted in questions appearing on the 2006 ANES Pilot Study are as follows. We are very grateful to the authors for their contributions (The modules do not necessarily reflect the questions as proposed by the proposal authors. In many cases, questions were revised before inclusion in the Pilot Study.)

The sample consisted of 1,211 individuals who completed a valid interview in the 2004 ANES time series study (not to be confused with the 2004 ANES Panel Study). Note: One of the 1,212 respondents in the 2004 ANES time series study will eventually be dropped from that dataset due to a recently identified problem with the integrity of 1 case (case 0357). Thus, when referring to the number of 2004 respondents, you may see either the number 1,211 or 1,212 used, depending on the context. This Full Release dataset contains all 675 interviews, with the survey portion of the interview lasting just over 37 minutes on average. The study had a re-interview rate of 56.25% (675 completions / (1211 in sample – 11 deceased respondents)). Shortly before the 2006 Pilot Study field period began on November 13, advance letters were sent to the respondents by USPS Priority Mail, stating the purpose of the study and noting that a monetary incentive would be paid for participation. Most respondents had been paid $20 for participation in 2004, while others were paid $50 if they declined the $20 offer. Respondents in 2006 were initially offered the largest amount they had been offered in 2004. Respondents who were not reached by phone in November were sent a second advance letter on or about December 1, and those who refused to be interviewed in November were sent a persuasion letter with an incentive offer of $50 on or about December 1. Those who had not completed an interview by mid-December were sent a persuasion letter by Federal Express, featuring a $100 incentive offer, on December 15. Data collection was conducted entirely on the telephone by Schulman, Ronca & Bucuvalas, Inc. (SRBI; http://www.srbi.com/) using CATI instrumentation and interviewers stationed in Fort Myers, Florida. The data collection was overseen by Stanford University with assistance from the University of Michigan. >> 2006 PILOT STUDY WEIGHTS The 2006 ANES Pilot Study data set includes a person-level analysis weight, which incorporates sampling, nonresponse, and post-stratification factors. Analysts should use the 2006 final weight (V06P002) for all analyses unless they have a specific reason to choose an alternative weighting approach of their own devising. The 2006 weight was created by applying an adjustment factor to the 2004 pre- election analysis weight (V040101). This adjustment factor accounts for nonresponse in 2006 insofar as 2006 nonresponse is a function of sample members' age and educational attainment. In 2006, response rates by age ranged from a low of 41.8 percent for persons age 18-29 as of November 2004 to a high of 65.7 percent for those age 60-69 as of November 2004. Response rates by educational attainment ranged from a low of 31.5 percent for those with less than a high school diploma in 2004 to a high of 68.2 percent for college graduates. (All response rates are unweighted.) The 2006 weight adjustments were made in three steps. First, each of the 1,212 sample members who completed the 2004 ANES pre-election interview were assigned to one of the 24 cells that result from cross-tabulating age by educational level using the categories shown in Table C in the 2004 ANES codebook. (The age categories are 18-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70- 90. The educational attainment categories are less than a high school diploma, high school diploma, some college, and college graduate.) One of these cells (age 30-39 with less than a high school diploma) contains no 2006 respondents, so this cell was merged with an adjacent cell (age 40-49 with less than a high school diploma) for purposes of the weight calculation, resulting in a total of 23 cells. Second, for each cell, a weight adjustment factor was computed by dividing the sum of the 2004 weights for all sample members in the cell by the sum of the weights for the 2006 respondents in the same cell. Last, the 2006 analysis weight was computed by multiplying the 2004 analysis weight by the adjustment factor described in the step above, and then scaling the weight to sum to the sample size of 675. This 2006 weight adjustment reflects a minimalist weighting approach, consistent with the prior approach taken by ANES. Please see the 2004 ANES codebook for more information about the construction of the 2004 analysis weight that was adjusted to create the 2006 weight. >> 2006 PILOT STUDY DATA READING The raw data have been provided in a single text file. The raw data may be read into SAS, SPSS, or STATA using the syntax files that have been packaged with the raw data file - for detailed instructions, please see the header of the run files for the statistical package of interest. The raw data file may also be read directly into these or other software packages. Within the raw data file the data points are delimited, there is one interview per line, and a header line with variable names is present for your convenience. >> 2006 PILOT STUDY RANDOMIZATION AND EXPERIMENTS Experiments and randomization were used in many locations throughout the 2006 ANES Pilot Study. Different experimental conditions applied to either different question sets or within a single question. Randomizations employed in survey administration are documented within V06P401-V06P435n, which are special variables providing case-level randomization values. One randomization was carried throughout the 2006 Pilot interview, in which respondents were randomly assigned to either forward or reverse order of response categories for a pre-selected subset of questions; this ordering assignment determined: 1) the order in which response options were read (without number) to the respondent as part of the question text, and 2) the order in which the numbered response categories appeared onscreen in the CATI instrument for interviewer coding. Respondents who are coded in item Rand.1 (randomization variable V06P401) for reverse ordering of response categories had reverse ordering apply for the following 2006 Pilot items: Mod1_1 Mod2_1 Mod3_1 Mod3_3 Mod3_4 Mod3_6 Mod3_7 Mod3_8 Mod4_1 Mod5_A1 Mod5_A2 Mod5_A3 Mod6_A1 Mod7_B1 Mod7_B2 Mod7_B3 Mod7_B4 Mod7_B5 Mod7_B6 Mod7_B7 Mod7_B8 Mod7_B9 Mod7_B10 Mod7_B11 Mod7_B12 Mod11_2 Mod11_4 Mod13_3_1 Mod13_3_2 Mod13_3_3 Mod13_7_1 Mod13_7_2 Mod13_7_3 Mod13_12_1 Mod13_12_2 Mod13_12_3 Mod14_A1 Mod14_A2 Mod14_A3 Mod14_B2 Mod15_2 Mod15_4 Mod15_5 Mod16_A1 Mod16_A2 Mod16_B1 Mod16_B2 Mod16_3 Mod16_4 Mod17_B1 Mod17_B2 Mod17_B3 Mod17_B4 Mod20_A5 Mod20_A10 Mod20_A15 Mod20_A20 Mod20_A25 Mod20_A30 Mod20_A35 Mod25_1 Mod25_2 Mod25_3 Mod25_4 Mod29_1 Mod29_2 A summary of additional randomizations is provided below. 1.

Thus, a great deal of additional data is available about the 2006 respondents. Users may be interested in comparing answers from the current study to answers given in the 2004 ANES. Furthermore, some answers that are unlikely to change (such as select demographics) were not asked about again in the 2006 ANES Pilot Study, in order to reduce the survey length. With this in mind, users may wish to merge variables from the 2004 ANES time series study (again, not to be confused with the 2004 ANES Panel Study) into the dataset for the 2006 ANES Pilot Study. While we are unable to support the various software packages you might use to accomplish this, the general process is as follows: 1. Download the 2004 ANES time series study (not the 2004 ANES Panel Study) and read it into your software package of choice. There should be 1,212 records in the file, because 1,212 interviews appear in the 2004 ANES time series study. If you do not wish to carry forward all of the variables, you may delete the variables you do not need. 2. Download the 2006 ANES Pilot Study release and read it into your software package of choice. There should be 675 records in the file, because there were 675 interviews. 3. Merge the two files together, matching on the respondent identifier. In the 2004 ANES time series study this is variable "V040001". In the 2006 ANES Pilot Study this is variable "V06P001." The resulting file should have 1,212 records. Variables for the respondents who did not provide an interview in 2006 will show as missing for survey variables from the 2006 study. >> 2006 PILOT STUDY DATA ANOMALIES Known data anomalies are noted at the appropriate variable in the codebook. If you notice possible undocumented errors in the dataset, we would appreciate an email to "anes@electionstudies.org" describing the problem so that we can research and address it. >> 2006 PILOT STUDY RESPONSE OPTION NOTE Except in the uncommon event that "Don't know" is included in question text with other response options read to the respondent, "Don't know" and "Refused" have traditionally been considered by ANES to be 'volunteered' responses only, although they are not documented as such in code labels within the codebook or elsewhere, even when a CAI application had consistently tagged Don't know and Refused "VOLUNTEERED"/"VOL" etc. for the benefit of interviewers. In the 2006 Pilot Study, interviewers followed a new protocol whenever a respondent gave an initial "don't know" response. The interviewer waited silently for approximately four seconds and then probed as follows: "I'll make a note of that. It would be a big help to us if you'd be willing to give me your best guess." The interviewer then repeated the question and coded the respondent's answer. >> 2006 PILOT STUDY NOTE ON CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS The American National Election Studies have not included information for census tracts or minor civil divisions since 1978, and since 2000 county and PSU identification have no longer been made available. In addition, ANES has traditionally restricted open-ended textual responses, coding them according to master code schemes; other scholars have developed alternative or supplemental coding schemes for such questions. ANES wishes to encourage these efforts but in ways which respect the ANES obligation to protect the privacy and anonymity of respondents. Circumstances under which individuals may have access to transcribed versions of these questions have been worked out and those interested should contact the ANES project staff for further details. In the 2006 Pilot, there are two open-ended response questions, Mod15_7 and Mod15_9, which ask what the respondent likes and dislikes about the federal government; in the absence of any other ready coding scheme for the responses to these questions, they were coded according to an existing 'Likes-Dislikes' master code already established for candidates and parties in the ANES time- series. Specific application of pre-existing 'Likes-Dislikes' codes, as well as new codes added to the set of master codes specifically for the 2006 Pilot, are fully documented in the appendix "2006 PILOT STUDY master code- federal government Likes-Dislikes." Permission to use detailed geographic information, open-end response texts, or other restricted data for scholarly research may be obtained from the ANES Board of Overseers. If there is an established research need, users may apply for access to restricted data by following the procedure on this page of the ANES website: http://www.electionstudies.org/studyres/spar/sparweb.htm >> 2006 PILOT STUDY FILE STRUCTURE AND PROCESSING INFORMATION The public release data file for the 2006 ANES Pilot Study is constructed with a single logical record for each respondent. Records are in ASCII files that are both comma-delimited AND fixed-column, with variable names comprising the first data line. 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. >> 2006 PILOT STUDY CODEBOOK INFORMATION (how to read) __________________________________________ EXAMPLE OF CODEBOOK VARIABLE DOCUMENTATION 01 ======================================================================== 02 V035246 Q9a.

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. LINE 05 This describes the section of the codebook; sections define survey content by wave, administrative variables, geocodes, interviewer characteristics variables, etc. LINES 06-08 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 "/".
