nes1978.txtVersion 01 Codebook ------------------- CODEBOOK VARIABLE DOCUMENTATION 1978 POST-ELECTION STUDY (1978.TVX) 1978 NES 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 valueshaving a varying number of digits. In such instances, the numberof columns corresponding to the variable in the data file [.dat file] and in the column specifications will be the width of the maximum valueoccurring in the actual data, rather than the maximum width allowableby the coding scheme. For example, if codes 01-12 are allowed for anumeric variable but all values in the data are less than 10, then thenumber of columns corresponding to the variable within the ASCII data file will be 1. ============================== VAR VERSION NAME-NES VERSION NUMBER COLUMNS 1 - 2
