THE EURO-BAROvBTER SURVEY SERIES

The surreys documented in this codahook aro the fruit of a unique program of cross-national and cross-temporal social science research. This effort began in early 1970, vhen the Commission of the European Communities sponsored simultaneous surveys of the publics of the six nations that were then members of ,the European Community. These surveys vere designed to oeasure public avareness of, an a attitudes tavard, the Common Hark& and other European Community institutions; in complementary fashion, they also probed into the goals given top priority for one's own nation, These concerns have remained a central part of the European CommunityIs research efforts--which were carried forward with another six-nation survey in the summer of 1971 that gave special attention to agricultural problous, These themes vrre of central iuterest again in a survey of the publics of .the European Community countries-- nov nine in number-- carried out in September 1973, At t.his point the surveys took on a somewhat broader scope in content as well as in geographical coversge, with measures of subjective satisfaction and the perceived quality of life becomin.9 a standard feature of the European Cbaaunity public opinion surveys.

In 1974, the Commission of the European Communities launched the Euro-Barometer series of surveys, designed to provide a regular monitarinq of the social a*3 political attitudes of the publics of the nine Member-nations, France, Germany. Great Britain, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Ireland and Luxembourg. Carried out in the spring and fall of each year, a total of tvelve Euro-Barometers had been completed by the end of 1479. In addition to obta1nlnq regular reading5 of support for Zuropean integration and the perceived quality of life, given Euro-Barometers have explored a variety of special topics, Thus Euro-Barometer 3 (carried out in the spring of: 1975) probed into public attitudes tovard the role oE uomen in economic, social. and political life. Barometer 4 carried a supplementary section on consaner attitudes, Barometer 5 iacluded ah investigation of mass perceptions of and attitudes toward poverty and toward multinatiocal corporations. Barometer 6 contained an expanded series of questions concerning the Common Market, in conrection v~ith the fact that it vas then entering its tventieth year of existence. Barometer 7 was complemented with an exploration of public attitudes toward science and technology, while Euro-Baroaeter 8, carried out in the fall of 1977, inquired about attitudes toward early retirement, as uell as a further expforation of attitudes toward the role of vomen. Barometer 9 included a section on employment and attitudes toward unemployment and Barometer 11 focused on themes related ta child-rearinq anA the family.

In addition, attitudes toward the organization and role of the European PaSliament have been explorea in each Euro-Barometer beginning with number 7 in the spring of 1977. Euro-Barometers 9 and 10 took up the question of whether Europeans approve of the direct election of the European Parlianent, uhile Barometer 11 salapled reacticns to the campaign. Attitudes touard expansion of the Pluropean Community have also been prohed.

This entire series of public opinion surveys has been carried nut under the direction cJf Jacques-Rene Fabier, Special Advisor to the Cornmission of the European Commcities; RonaL Inglehart of the University of Hicbigan collaborated with his in the design and analysis of the surveys, and in helping make the resulting data available to the social science community through the ICPSR survey data archive. The Euro-Raroeeter Series alone now contains 1OR national surveys coordinated across both time and space. rep questions in this data collectkon have been asked in comparable form across nine nations at given ti8e points, and across a period of nearly ten years in given countries. Tt is hoped that these data will provide a valuable resource to empirically-criented social scientists.

and by Ronald Inqlehart of the University of This study is part of an ongoing program of

public opinion research spcnsorea by the European Coasunity. The fieldwork was carried out by a consortium of European pollir?g organizations in all nine nations of the European C0EiWnity. Respondents for Euro-Barometer 7 were interviewed in fipril, 1977.

This study focuses on the role of science in aodern life, and on political priorities in public support for science. It also cor,tinues the series of items on feelings t.ouard European integration that had heen asked in earlier Pure-Barometers. The guestions on the European Parliament uere Fxpanded to include reactions to the elections proposed for June, 1978, expectations concerning the campaign and the future role of the European Parliament, and projected voting preference in the European election.

The personal data section of the interview obtained information about the education, occupation, marital status, age and sex of the Respondent. This section also ascertained the occupation of the head of the household and composition of the household.

SAUL'CIYG INFORXATION

Each national survey YBS conducted by a professional poll- ing agency. A list of the survey organizations tespansihlo fox the Euro-Sarometer series in each nation is included at the end of this sectian, Representative samples of the total population of age fifteen years and older vere dram in each country. The sampling designs were either multi-stage national probability saaplas or national stratified quota samples.

1) National probability samples were draun in Belgium, Denmark, ana the Netherlands. These samples rely on complete listings of tha National population, fifteen years and older, from which respondents are raad6mly chosen (in several stages).

2) Stratified national quota samples were araun in France, Germany. Great Britain (including Northern Ireland), Italy, Ireland, and Luxemhourg. Taking into account region and the size of localities, rcspondcnts are chosen within selected sampling points to provide a regionally representative sample with respect to the criteria sex, age, and occupation,

In the French sample the rural population was underrepresented. In order to produce a sample Bore representative of the tatal French population, 165 Prench rural cases have hesn duplicated (each appears tvice) in this dataset, Their original identification numbers have heen retained. A still mere precise ueighting of the Preach data can be chtaimd by using the French weight variable (V6). The samples in all other countries are unaffected by the application of the Wench weight.

For further information regarding the specific national sanple designs, the natianal polling agencies should be contacted.

WEIGHTING INFORflATIO!J AND IREQIJENCIES

Apart from the Prench weight variable described in the section on Sampling Information, this study also contains a weight variable (05) which produces a representative sample of the European Community as a vhole when usea in analysis. This Height variable adjusts the size of each national sample, ueighting each nation in terms of its contribution to the total population of the Comaunitg. This Weight variable is not necessary if the analyst is only interested in t.he individual national samples. and not the Comaunity as a whole. The French weight variable is also included in the European weight variable, so that use of both weight variables simultaneously is umecessary.

The unweighted N for the combined 9-nation file .is 9056, the weighted N of this file is 9071.01. All respondents were given weight values to tvo implied decimal places, The foll.oving table presents the unveighted and weighted N for each nation, and the ueighting factor used:

DATA PBEPARLTTCN AND PORBATTIW

The data received by the Archive were first sorted and checked for missing or duplicate cards. Duplicate cards, if any, uere verified then the duplicates uere removed. Hissing cards were Irep'laced by missing data values. The data were then checked fur illegal (wild) codes and inconsistencies which, whenever found, were assigned to sissinq data values. The codebook was reordered to preserve the order of the British questionnaire. (Dinor oariatians in the question order do appear in other national questionnaires.) Indices uere included as created by the original investigators. Throughoot the text additional coanents bracketed in *@<" and Vn signs, were inserted by the stu4y processor in the course of preparing the codebook in order to facilitate non-sequential referencing and to provide further explanatory information.

The data are available from the Consortium in two formats: k card iaage file, or an OSIRIS dataset, The card image file contains 3 cards per respondent in a format based on 80 column punched cartls. The decks for each respondent. art? sorted in ascending order. There are two components to the OSIRIS dataset. The OSIBIS dictionary gives the format and other inFormation for each variable in the OSIRIS data file. The dictionary or dictionary- codebook is used in conjunction with the OSIRIS Softmare Package. The OSTRYS data file is constructed with a sinqle loqical record per respondent. The OSIRIS data file can be accessed directly hy softvare packages vhicb do not use the OSIRIS dictionary by specifying the tape locations of the desired variahles. These tape locations are contained in the @SIRTS codebook.

The study staff for Euro-Barometer 7 developed an equivalent French and British questionnaire for this survey. These questionnaires were made available to the national polling institutes who translated the questionnaires into their respective languages, The text of the British questionnaire was used in constructinq this codebook and is included ir, an appendix of this codebook. The other national questionnaires are available from the ICPSR upon request.

Data processing for Euro-Barometer 7 was done by Thomas Rochon and Ginger Daggio.
