Version 01 Codebook ------------------- CODEBOOK VARIABLE DOCUMENTATION 1997 PILOT STUDY (1996.PN) 1997 PILOT 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: 1997 Pilot variables follow 1996 variables, which are included. ============================== VAR VERSION NAME- NES VERSION NUMBER COLUMNS 1 - 2 NUMERIC NO MISSING DATA CODES NES VERSION NUMBER .................. ============================== VAR DSETNO NAME- NES DATASET NUMBER COLUMNS 3 - 9 CHARACTER NO MISSING DATA CODES NES DATASET NUMBER ..................

It is post-stratified to the July 1995 Census population projections for age, by sex by Census region categories (Current Population Reports P25-1111, Table 4). This is a 6 digit variable with a coded decimal point and 4 actual decimal places. See also the "Construction of Analysis weights" in the Sample Design section of the Appendix to the codebook for the 1996 study.

The weight compensates for the unequal probabilities of selection for respondents in different size households and for differential non-response across geographic sample design categories. It is post- stratified to the July 1995 Census population projections for age, by sex by Census region categories (Current Population Reports P25-1111, Table 4). This weight is centered with a mean of 1.0. This is a 6- digit variable with a coded decimal point and 4 actual decimal places.

This variable corrects for panel attrition and for the aging of the Panel respondents. Details on the construction of this variable are provided in the Sample Design section of the Appendix to the codebook for the 1996 Study. This weight is centered with a mean of 1.0. This is a 6- digit variable with a coded decimal point and 4 actual decimal places. Cross-section cases have a value of 1.0000.

Variables V960005a and V960005b were created because V960005 did not correct for an underrepresentation in Study data of younger and less-educated respondents. V960005a and V960005b are constructed to post-stratify the NES data to match the Current Population Study (CPS) estimate of the distribution of age group by education level. V960005b should be used with Post- election variables. See "NEW WEIGHTS FOR THE 1996 STUDY" in the introductory portion of this codebook and Appendix "Post-Stratified Cross-Sectional Analysis Weights for the 1992, 1994 and 1996 NES data." This weight should be used in analyses in which the 1996 Panel is compared to earlier unweighted National Election Studies data collections. This weight is centered with a mean of 1.0. This is a 6- digit variable with a coded decimal point and 4 actual decimal places.

All 1996 panel respondents have been interviewed in the 1994 Post time-series study and may have also been interviewed in the 1992 Pre-Post time-series study. If R was interviewed in 1992 (codes 21-24) he/she was necessarily interviewed in both the 1992 Pre and 1992 Post (this was a requirement to be eligible for the continuing panel). Panel respondents may also have been interviewed in the 1993 and/or 1995 Pilot Studies. 1995 Pilot: 1996 panel respondents who had been fresh cross-section in 1994 (first interviewed in 1994) were eligible for interviewing in the 1995 Pilot Study; 1996 Panel respondents who had been first interviewed in 1992 were not eligible for inclusion in the 1995 Pilot. 1993 Pilot: Panel respondents who were interviewed in both the 1992 Pre and Post were eligible for 1993 Pilot Study interviewing. 1996 ONLY: 62 01. 1996 Pre only 337 02. 1996 Pre and Post 1994 AND 1996: 45 11. 1994, 1996 Pre 284 12. 1994, 1996 Pre and Post 22 13. 1994, 1995 Pilot, 1996 Pre 367 14. 1994, 1995 Pilot, 1996 Pre and Post 1992,1994 AND 1996: 16 21. 1992 Pre and Post, 1994, 1996 Pre 61 22. 1992 Pre and Post, 1994, 1996 Pre and Post 35 23. 1992 Pre and Post, 1993 Pilot, 1994, 1996 Pre 485 24. 1992 Pre and Post, 1993 Pilot, 1994, 1996 Pre and Post NOTE: THIS VARIABLE DOCUMENTATION DESCRIBES ONE OF THE 1996 VARIABLES THAT HAVE BEEN ATTACHED TO THE 1997 PILOT DATA FILE; ANY MARGINALS AND INAPS APPLY TO 1996 ============================== VAR 960011 Admin.1 PRE-ELECTION Day of interview ----------------------------------------------------------- Day of interiew 1-31 coded, except: 99.

Changes were made to the VQ (CAPI application) while in the field. Most changes were not significant, with a few exceptions. The next variable documents the VQ version in use at the end of the interview; note that if an interview was temporarily halted and a new VQ was installed prior to the resumption of interviewing, the VQ in effect for some questions would not be the VQ coded here. The 8/6/96 VQ was used in error in only 2 cases. In the 9/3/96 VQ, Rs who had been erroneously asked for placement of House candidates and major parties on the 7- point Liberal-Conservative scale (respondents who answered Haven't Thought Much for self-rating) were assigned an appropriate skip. Note that data for ratings of House candidates and parties do not included these cases. In the 9/11/96 VQ, Choate replaced Campbell as the Reform Party Vice-Presidential candidate (question D1f). In the 9/17/96 VQ, respondents no longer skipped Y12g if they do not answer "Yes" in Y12e. In the 9/25/96 VQ, several Perot items were dropped as documented in specific variables [G3a-G3d(1), K4a-K4a(1), K4b, L2d, L2d(1), L2d(2), L3d, L4d, M1d, M1d(1), M1d(2), M2d, M3d, M3d(1), M3d(2), M4d, N1d]. 2 1. 8/6/96 24 2. 8/27/96 185 3. 9/3/96 168 4. 9/11/96 261 5. 9/17/96 106 6. 9/25/96 113 7. 9/30/96 855 8. 10/4/96 9.

In 1996 the sample was released in four quarter samples at approximately two week intervals. The allocation of sample lines to target periods was random, at the segment level; the sets of assigned lines are known as replicates. Dates of release were as follows: 1st replicate 9/3, 2nd replicate 9/12, 3rd replicate 9/26, 4th replicate 10/10. Panel cases that required tracking because the current address of the respondent was not known were released with the first replicate. Two replicates of cross-section cases were designated as 'reserve' to release as needed, depending on an evaluation of sample performance prior to the release of replicate 3. The reserve replicates of cross-section cases were released as follows: replicate 5 with replicate 3 and replicate 6 with replicate 4. 474 1. Replicate 1, released September 3 455 2.

(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 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].

Coded according to the 1990 Census and 1990 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) definitions, 1990 Census Population reports (as reported in the 1992 Annual Metro, City and County Data book) and 1990 Census "urbanized area" (as shown in the 1994 Rand McNally Road Atlas - 70th edition. 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.

For the Cross- section component, this reflects R's location where selected in 1996. 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 citites. 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.

For Panel respondents who moved since their original NES contact (1992, 1994), the data corresponding to their original sampling address was coded here. These SMSA codes were obtained from the Federal Information Processing Standard Publication, U.S. Department of Commerce, National Bureau of Standards. The 1980 SMSA Codes have for the most part been carried over by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to the 1990 Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA's). However, some MSA names and definitions have been modified by OMB to reflect shifts in population and changes in characteristics of areas. In the 1996 NES data, the 1980 SMSA codes have been retained for all parts of the MSA primary sampling units (PSU's). It should be remembered that, particularly in the case of PMSAs (which are part of consolidated areas (or CMSAs) some counties or county parts may in 1990 be defined by OMB as part of a different PMSA (a good example is Chicago, IL). It was felt that for NES analysis, to retain the older SMSA codes, which correspond to the 1980 sampling frame used for the panel component of this sample, was most appropriate for all MSA or PMSA areas in that component. In those areas designated "Non-SMSA" in our sample frame ("Non-MSA" on most of our documentation for 1996 NES), there are two PSUs (#464, Gardner, MA, and #482, El Dorado/Alpine, CA) in which some of the 1980 rural area has in 1990 met the requirements for inclusion in an MSA; in these cases the size of place code was modified to reflect this and the 1990 MSA number is indicated for the affected segments (segment 009 in Gardner, MA, used in the 1996 panel, where Barre town--not associated with any SMSA in 1980--is now a part of the 1990 Worcester, MA, MSA, and all of the 1996 NES Panel segments in El Dorado/Alpine, CA,-- all in El Dorado county which is part of the 1990 Sacramento, CA, MSA.) 200.

The NECMA is the New England County Metropolitan Area code as described in the 1990 SRC National Sample Design and Development documentation. For the Panel component, this variable refers to R's location when originally selected in 1992 or 1994; the respondent may have moved since then. For the Cross- section component, this reflects R's location where selected in 1996. 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. For consistency, New England Panel segments which are a part of a 1990 NECMA also have the NECMA coded here. NECMA numbers end with the numeral 3. 360. Anaheim-Santa Ana-Garden Grove, CA 520.

In these cases, the names of the most likely candidates were used in the administration of the interview (for code 1, see the next variable for the race type used at the time of interview in these cases). In all cases coded 1, the incumbent remained unchanged but challenger status was altered - either a challenger was added (change from unopposed to opposed incumbent) or else dropped (change from opposed to unopposed, expected challenger not present in final race). For cases coded 1, data about the incumbent candidate have been preserved and challenger data have been coded NA or Inap as appropriate according to the final race type. For cases coded 2, questions which identified wrong (Republican) candidate name have been coded NA. 1700 0.

Post variables are administered according to the state and CD at which R was located during the Pre interview, since in most cases Rs (if registered) have not changed registration since the Pre; moreover, in most cases Rs who moved between the Pre and Post were primarily exposed to the House campaigns of the candidates identified according to Pre state and CD. It was not systematically determined whether a new Post address was in a CD different from Pre CD unless R's new location was a different state. All cases where R was found in a different state in the Post are coded 1. Additionally, for several cases where R moved within state but information was discovered indicating change in CD, code 1 has also been coded. Cases coded 2 indicate that R moved within the same state, but CD status (regarding change of CD) was NA. 7 1. R Moved out of Pre CD 26 2. R Moved, NA if CD changed (R moved within same state) 2 3.

This variable represents PRESENT employment of spouses coded 10,17,18,20 in Y17(1), and represents PAST employment of spouses coded 15,16,40,50,60 in Y17(1). Rs coded 70,75,80 in Y17(1) are Inap [see Y17e/f(2) for employment within past 6 months]. The administration of spouse/partner employment questions differed from previous years in that a separate 'series' of questions was not administered for each employment status. Because a single set of questions describing R's occupation, industry, and hours of work was administered regardless of employment status, the traditional "stack" variables have not been constructed. However, for greater consistency with the "stack" format, there are 2 sets of variables representing questions Y17e/f, Y17fx(1), Y17fx(2), Y17g, Y17h, the first excluding occupation description information for nonworking homemakers/students who have worked in the last 6 months (but describing all others), and the second providing occupation data only for spouses in this category. "Stack" variables traditionally omitted this data. Note: if spouse was both currently working and retired or disabled, the interviewer may have asked (or the respondent may have preferred to respond) in terms of either current OR past employment for occupation description [Y17e/f, Y17fx(1),Y17fx(2)], industry description [Y17g], and number of hours worked [Y17h]. Reviewing the cases which fall into these employment status categories, it appears that most cases describe past employment, in conformity with employment descriptions for nonworking retirees/ disabled. However, cases 1945,2298,3161,3298 were ambiguous and have been coded 99 NA in this variable. The occupation codes which would have been otherwise assigned to these cases are, respectively, 30, 22,48,71.

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 degrees and 50 degrees mean that you don't feel favorable toward that 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 particular warm or cold toward the person. If we come to a person whose name you don't recognize, you don't need to rate that person. Just tell me and we'll move on to the next one. ----------------------------------------------------------- B1a [RB] (How would you rate) BILL CLINTON?

Thus, all 'out of county' nonvoters (17 cases) were not shown a ballot card (second version of question). Specifically regarding 'out of county' nonvoters who may have been registered in a CD different from the CD of interview: in past studies, all nonvoters were asked for preference among candidates within the CD of interview, regardless of where they were registered, and the ballot card for CD of interview was presented to R. In 1996 no ballot card was shown and no other identification of CD for candidate preference was offered to nonvoters registered in a different CD. Among the 17 'out of county' nonvoters, no clear indication was found within respondents' answers of preference for candidates from CDs other than CD of interview, however it is unclear how the 'out of county' nonvoter responses would have differed if the ballot card had been shown. 171 1.

A score of 7 means that you think most people in the group are "lazy." A score of 4 means that you think that most people in the group are not closer to one end or the other, and of course, you may choose any number in between.

In your booklet is a seven-point scale on which the political views that people might hold are arranged from extremely liberal to extremely conservative. Where would you place yourself on this scale, or haven't you thought much about this? Note: For N1, N1a, N2 and N3, interviewers implemented an 'active timing' experiment to measure respondent response latency in answering these questions. For each of these questions, the interviewer pressed a key when she or he finished reading the question and again pressed a key when the respondent began speaking to answer the question. After entering the respondent's answer, the interviewer responded to a checkpoint question on whether the timing was accurate or not. Elapsed response times for each of these questions are found in V970360 to V970363 in the timing section at the end of the codebook. 1 EXTREMELY LIBERAL 2 LIBERAL 3 SLIGHTLY LIBERAL 4 MODERATE; MIDDLE OF THE ROAD 5 SLIGHTLY CONSERVATIVE 6 CONSERVATIVE 7 EXTREMELY CONSERVATIVE 96 HAVEN'T THOUGHT MUCH ABOUT THIS ============================== VAR 970303 N1a. 97PI: Accuracy - Self This variable reports the interviewer's assessment of the accuracy of the active timing of R's actual answering the previous question.
