SUMMARY: This collection, containing information on the voting behavior and political attitudes of Canadians, consists of three waves of data gathered before and after the 1988 Canadian national election. The first wave, conducted by telephone in October and November 1988 before the November 21st election, focused on respondents' interest in the election, perceptions of the media, voting intentions, attitudes toward policy and campaign issues, assessments of government performance, and ratings of leaders, parties, and candidates. Other items included respondents' sociodemographic and economic characteristics, as well as party, candidate, and constituency identification. The second wave, conducted by telephone after the election from November 1988 through January 1989, contained some of the same items covered in the first wave but also included items on voting behavior, campaign activities, and groups in Canadian society, along with a special battery on free trade. The third wave, conducted by mail from December 1988 through March 1989, explored fiscal priorities, the economy, policy issues, changes to Canadian society, political efficacy, societal goals, capitalist values, rights and liberties, and conceptions of community. CLASS IV
UNIVERSE: Canadian citizens, 18 years of age or older, resident in one of the provinces (excluding the Yukon and Northwest Territories). SAMPLING: Probability sample by random digit dialing stratified by province. There was an official-language minority oversample for exchanges in Ontario, Quebec, and New Brunswick.

The survey included three waves: 1, a Campaign Period Survey with a representative sample of 3,609 Canadians; 2, a Post Election Survey with 2,922 of the Campaign Period Survey respondents; and 3, a Mailback Survey with 2,115 of the Post Election Survey respondents. All interviewing was completed in English or French from ISR's centralized f:~’ telephone facilities using Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI) t techniques. The Institute uses software from the Computer-Assisted Survey Methods Program at the University of California, Berkeley. ‘. 1.2 The Campaign Period Survev i.,J Random digit dialing procedures were utilized to select the telephone numbers included in the Campaign Period Survey (CPS) sample. The sample was released i as a rolling cross section. Each day of the campaign a sample of telephone ! numbers, representative of the Canadian population, was released. On average 77 interviews were completed per day in the 47 days prior to the November 21st election for a total of 3,609 interviews. The questionnaire averaged 38 minutes and included items on election interest and media, voting intentions and party identification, personal, provincial and national economic conditions, ratings of leaders, parties and candidates, government performance, policy and campaign issues, candi$ate and constituency identification, and a battery of socio-demographic items. Experiments in question wording were incorporated into the CPS. The survey instrument included different versions of questions about Free Trade, Meech Lake, abortion, the government's intention to purchase nuclear powered submarines, etc. The extent of CAT1 manipulations included in the questionnaire are documented in section 4.2 below. 1 The questionnaires (in English and French) are available in both CAT1 format and in a modified format. The CAT1 format makes it easier to determine ! the exact scope of experiments included in the CPS. The modified version of the survey is designed to facilitate a general understanding of the questionnaire format to the non-CAT1 user. Both English and French versions of the questionnaire are available from ISR. Contact the data archive at ISR for additional information. 1 ‘I ’ CAT1 was also used to incorporate a number of question order experiments in the CPS. For example, respondents were asked the "vote intention" items r 7 either very early on in the interview, before items on "party identification" or near the end of the interview prior to the sociodemographic items. I Randomization of order was also used in the rating of leaders, parties, and candidates and for other questions. i 1.3 The Post Election Survev i All respondents to the CPS were called again after the election and 2,922 of them completed the Post Election Survey (PES). Two thirds of the PES interviews were completed within 30 days of the election. The Christmas season made it necessary to complete the final third of the interviews in January, 1989. The PES questionnaire averaged 27 minutes in length. Some of the items asked in the CPS were asked again in the PES. Most of the items on election interest and media, party identification, ratings of leaders, parties and candidates, constituency identification, and some of the items on policy and campaign issues were asked a second time on the PES. The PES also included items on voting behaviour, campaign activities, groups in Canadian society and a special battery on free trade. i ‘h, 1.4 The Mailback Survey - At the end of the PES respondents were asked to participate in a mail survey. Approximately 80 percent of the respondents to the PES provided an address and almost 75 percent of these respondents returned a completed questionnaires for a final sample of 2,115. t i 1 As a general rule, questionnaires were sent to respondents within a week of their completion of the PES. The mail survey included 97 items. Issues explored included: fiscal priorities, the economy, policy issues, changes to I: Canadian society, political efficacy, societal goals, capitalist values, rights and liberties, and conceptions of community. t . t- A small proportion of the mail questionnaires returned were deemed to have been completed by someone other than the respondent to the CPS on the basis of respondent variation in reporting gender and age. A variable has been added to the data set to identify these returns (see section 2.8 below). 2 2. SAMPLE DESIGN 2.1 Introduction The sample for the study was designed to represent the adult population (18 years of age or older) who reside in one of the ten Canadian provinces and who are Canadian citizens, speak one of the official languages (English or French), and reside in private homes (residents of old age homes, group homes, educational and penal institutions were excluded). Because the mode of data collection for the survey was telephone, the 1.8 percent of Canadian households without a telephone are eliminated from the sample population (Statistics Canada: Catalogue 56-203, Ottawa, 1985). 2.2 Selection of Households A two stage probability selection process was utilized to select respondents for the survey. The first stage is the random selection of households by randomly selecting residential telephone numbers. A complete listing of all residential telephone numbers in Canada is the appropriate sampling frame for the survey. Unfortunately such a listing does not exist. Telephone books are not an acceptable surrogate. Unlisted numbers (not published in the telephone book by the owner's choice) and numbers for people who have recently moved are not included. People who do not have their name in the telephone book are not a random subset of the population (Tremblay, 1982). Sampling from telephone books would systematically exclude these people from the sample. Use of random digit dialing (RDD) for selecting telephone numbers gives all households, not just those listed in telephone directories, an equal and known probability of selection. All telephone numbers in Canada consist of a three digit area code, a three digit central office code (the first three digits of the seven digit telephone number), and a suffix (the last four digits of a telephone number). It is possible to determine area codes, central office codes and suffixes that are in use by referring to telephone and city directories. With this knowledge, it is possible to construct a listing of all possible numbers in Canada. A computer is then used to generate a random sample of telephone numbers from this listing. i Because this sample will include numbers that are nonresidential or not in id service and because an interview will not be completed in every household that is selected for the study (some households will refuse to be interviewed and :‘r. some households will not contain an eligible respondent) the sample selected L ? must be in excess of the desired number of completions. Based on information from Statistics Canada and previous work completed at ISR a projection of the I’.... required sample size can be calculated. . . 5- 3 Given the target number of 3,600 completed interviews it was necessary to draw a sample of approximately 12,300 telephone numbers. This number was calculated as follows: 12,300 x .50 [proportion of numbers predicted to be eligible households] x .59 [proportion of households willing to participate] = 3,628. r 2.3 Selection of Respondent ! The second stage of sample selection was random selection of an adult household member as the respondent. This stage of sample selection was completed by selecting the household member, 18 years of age or older, who had f. the most recent birthday and was a Canadian citizen. (A discussion of the use of the most recent birthday method of selecting respondents can be found in O'Rourke and Blair, 1983.) 2.4 Provincial Samole Distribution and the Language Over Sample The initial sample design called for 3,500 completed interviews.2 Minimal sample sizes were established for each province (100 for the Atlantic Provinces, 200 for Manitoba and Saskatchewan, 400 for the other Western Provinces and 800 for Ontario and Quebec). To facilitate analysis of French speakers in New Brunswick and Ontario, and English speakers in Quebec, the sample design included a "language over samplett of 300 completions evenly divided among the three provinces. In New Brunswick and Ontario interviewers called the additional sample numbers, and requested in French, that the household participate in the study. Interviews were conducted only in households with French speakers. In Quebec the over sample interviews were conducted only with English speakers. Unlike the sample for the "main" study, the "over" sample telephone numbers were not randomly generated from all possible numbers. Exchanges in New Brunswick and Ontario that were known to have higher proportions of French speakers (north and eastern New Brunswick and north and eastern Ontario) and exchanges in Quebec known to have higher proportions of English speakers (mainly the west end of Montreal) were the only exchanges used to generate the over sample. ! The distribution of the sample among the Canadian provinces, taking into ‘ I account the allocation of the additional 300 "over" sample interviews is presented in Table 2.1. f.J 2 Once the study had started there was a change in the design of the rolling cross section. In the original sample design new sample was not to be released during the last two days of the campaign. This design was changed I’ and, as a result, the total number of completed interviews required was increased by 100 to 3,600. TABLE 2.1 PROVINCIAL DISTRIBUTION OF COMPLETEDINTERVIEWS IN ORIGINAL SAMPLE DESIGN Province Number P-ercent Newfoundland 100 2.9 P.E.I. 100 2.9 Nova Scotia 100 2.9 New Brunswick 200 5.7 Quebec 900 25.7 Ontario 900 25.7 Manitoba 200 5.7 Saskatchewan 200 5.7 Alberta 400 11.7 British Columbia 400 11.7 TOTAL 3,500 100.0 2.5 Dailv Sample Distribution: The "Rolling Cross Section" Interviewing a cross section of Canadians each day made it possible to determine how attitudes about leaders, parties and candidates changed during this time3period and to determine the impact of campaign events on the election. The sample generated for the CPS was divided randomly into 47 equal "replicates", representing the 47 days, during which the survey was conducted. At the beginning of each day the new replicate for that day was released. Each replicate remained active for 9 to 12 days except those released in the last nine days of the campaign (i.e., the replicate released three days before the last day of the campaign could only be called on those three days). Calling sample numbers over a 9 to 12 day period insured that some of the I‘ interviews completed each day were with "hard to reach" respondents. Research h. has shown that "hard to reach" respondents, those interviewed only after several telephone calls have been made, may be different than "easy to reach" respondents (Sebold, 1988; Wilcox, 1977; Hawkins, 1975; and Dunkelberg and I- Day, 1973). : 1 L 3 The first sample release was on the fourth day of the campaign, October 4th. No sample was released and no interviewing was completed on Thanksgiving Day, October 10th. 5 Decisions on the length of time each replicate remained active for data collection were made on an ongoing basis throughout the study. In general, replicates estimated to generate more than 77 completions (based on the results at the end of each day) remained active for less than 12 days and replicates estimated to generate fewer than 77 completions remained active for the entire 12 day period. Adjustments to the length of time that replicates remained active were determined in conjunction with the number of telephone numbers in each replicate. Within each replicate the sample was further subdivided into 30 "sample codes". Each sample code, like each replicate, was a random sample of all possible telephone numbers in Canada. Once the data collection was completed for the first few replicates, adjustments were made in the number of sample codes released within each replicate. The decision on the number of sample codes released in a replicate was always made before the replicate was released. The "replicate" and "sample code" for each completion is part of the data record. 2.6 WeightinP Description for Campaign Period Survev Weights, designed to adjust for unequal probabilities of selection within households, the language over sample and the disproportionate sample allocation among the provinces, have been attached to the data set. The probability of an adult member of the household being selected for an interview varies .inversely with the number of people living in that household (in a single adult household there is a 100 percent chance of selection and in a three adult household there is only a 33 percent chance of selection). As a result, it is possible that the data are biased as one person households are over represented in the sample. To compensate for the unequal probabilities of selection, one adult households are given a weight of one, two adult households are given a weight of two, three adult households a weight of three etc. There are seven weights attached to this data set (WTl, WT2, etc.). ALL of these weights include a correction factor for uneven probability of respondent selection. Of course, the option of using weights is left to the discretion of the user. A brief summary of each weight follows. WTl: National Weight Including Over Sample, adjusts for unequal probability of selection at the household level, includes over sample completions and corrects for disproportionate distribution among the Provinces WT2: Province Weight Including Over Sample, adj.usts for unequal probability of selection at the household level, includes over sample completions WT3: Atlantic Weight Including Over Sample, adjusts for unequal probability of selection at the household level, includes only completions from the Atlantic Provinces 6 WT4: Prairie Weizht, adjusts for unequal probability of selection at the household level, includes only completions from the Prairie Provinces, r . WT5: National Weight, adjusts for unequal probability of selection at the I household level and corrects for disproportionate distribution among the I Provinces WT6: Province Weipht adjusts for unequal probability of selection at the household level WT7: Atlantic Weight, adjusts for unequal probability of selection at the household level, includes only completions from the Atlantic Provinces All of the weights include an adjustment and, as a result, the number of cases in the dataset remains constant (3,609) even when different weights are utilized. f,, The disproportionate allocation of the sample among the provinces is adjusted for in WTl and WT5. When WTl or WT5 are invoked the user will produce a data set where the distribution of cases among the provinces approximates the national population distribution. Either WTl or WT5 should be used when national estimates are desired. The data set created with WTl includes the over sample completions and that created with WT5 excludes these completions. Using WT2 and WT6 produces a dataset with a sample distribution among the provinces that does not correct for the disproportionate number of completion in the smaller provinces. Either WT2 or WT6 should be used when provincial comparisons are required. WT2 includes the language oversample, WT6 does not. UT4 should be used when the user is investigating response from the Prairie Provinces and UT7 when the Atlantic Provinces are the area of investigation. 2.7 Post Election and Mail Survev Samoles At the end of the CPS the interviewer thanked the respondent for their time and said they hoped to have the chance to talk again after the election. After the interviewer hung up the telephone CAT1 presented them with a screen showing the respondent's name (or sometimes an initial or other identifier), gender and date of birth. The interviewer transcribed this information to the "cover sheet" (side one listed a record of all call attempts on the CPS and side two listed the same for the PES). This information was used by interviewers to insure they reached the correct person when they called to complete the PES. :\ The cover sheets for the 3,609 completions were randomized so there was no L relationship between the completion date of the CPS and the first call attempt to complete the PES. Over 80 percent (2,922) of the respondents to the CPS completed the PES. At the end of the post election interview respondents were asked to 7 participate in a mail survey. Ninety percent of the respondents who completed the PES provided a mailing address. These 2,635 people (.90 x 2,922) were the sample for the mail survey. 2.8 Linking Respondents to the Three Survevs _ Although efforts were made to insure that the same person completed all three survey waves, an inspection of the data suggests this was not always the case. The possibility of getting data from the wrong person was highest in the mail survey. Although the mail questionnaire was addressed to the respondent, there was of course no guarantee that he or she would be the person who completed the questionnaire. More surprisingly, but less frequently, there is evidence to suggest that a different person was interviewed in the second telephone survey. This possibility results from interviewer error (the interviewer did not insist on interviewing the correct person, the father and son had the same name and the interviewer forgot to check the year of birth, I: etc.) or from respondent error (the respondent insisted that it was their spouse who completed the CPS, the person who answers the telephone wants to "have their turn" and insist that they are the correct respondent, etc.). Items common to all survey waves were used to create a variable that identifies situations where the data from all three surveys seems to have been obtained from two different respondents. Gender and year of birth were included in all three waves of the study. If the gender variable was not the same for all three surveys, or if age varied by more than two years the case was identified as being a "not a good link" case. The variable "LINK" has five values: 1, campaign completion only, 2, only campaign and post election completed: GOOD link, 3, only campaign and post election completed: NOT a good link, 4, campaign, post election and mail completed: GOOD link, 4 5, campaign, post election and mail completed: NOT a good link. I- .. Values "3" and "5" accounted for 2.7 percent of the 3,609 cases. More conservative or liberal interpretations of the linkage can be completed by the [ user. The responses to the two items used in each wave of the survey to t.. create the link variable are included in the data set (Nl, RSEX, XNl, XRSEX, YRBIRTH and ZRSBX). Users who plan to conduct analysis that includes information from more than one survey should consider deleting the "not a good link" cases (values 3 and 5 of the variable "LINK") before they conduct their I analysis. I: , 4 The value labels included in the data set are more abbreviated. a 3 DATA COLLECTION PROCEDURESAND RESPONSERATES c’ I 3.1 Introduction ! A brief description of the data collection procedures is outlined in this section of the technical documentation. Response rates for each of the three survey components and the prescreening of the sample are also reviewed. 3.2 Data Collection Procedures: Camoaipn Period Survev To reduce the amount of unproductive calling required once data collection started, the sample was prescreened. As the start of the campaign could not be predicted, prescreening was completed in July, 1988, approximately two months before the election was called. Over 3,710 nonresidential numbers and not in service numbers were eliminated during the prescreening (from a total sample of 16,002 telephone numbers). Typically, in surveys conducted at ISR, telephone numbers remain active for at least a three week (21 day) period. However, the logistics of maintaining the rolling cross section made it difficult to have numbers active for more than 12 days. In order to maximize the number of completions from each replicate the call schedule was designed to allow for 15 calls when a replicate was 1. available for the maximum 12 day period. The call schedule for numbers that were never answered was as follows: for the first three days a minimum of two I I calls were made per day and at least half of the calls were made during t . evening hours; for days four to twelve at least one call was made per day and the time of the call was rotated to include morning, afternoon and evening time slots. Of course, once contact was made with a household subsequent calls were adjusted on the basis of information obtained in the contact. The mean number of calls required to obtain a completion was 3.4. About three quarters of the completions required fewer than five call attempts and 28 percent of the completions required only one call (Table 3.1). In the most extreme case 24 calls were made to complete the interview. The number of call attempts, the number of times the telephone was answered and other variables ‘. - that describe the data collection process are included as part of the data set (see section 4.2 below). In Quebec, and for the French language over sample in Ontario and New Brunswick, the initial call was always made by a French speaking interviewer. English speaking interviewers made the first call attempt for the rest of the country, Whenever a household or respondent indicated they wished to be interviewed in the other language an interviewer with the appropriate language skills called back. Typically, the second interviewer would call back during the same interviewing shift. 9 TABLE 3.1 NUMBEROF CALL ATTEMPTS FOR COMPLETEDINTERVIEWS: CAMPAIGN AND POST ELECTION SURVEYS Number of Call Campaign Period Post Election Attempts Survey1 Survey (Percent Distribution) i One 28 27 Two 24 21 Three 16 14 Four 10 9 Five or six 11 12 Seven to nine 6 10 Ten to nineteen 4 6 Twenty to twenty-five 1 1 1 The prescreening call is not included in the number of call attempts. f t..., 3.3 Response Rates: Camoaign Period Survey F . i There are numerous ways to calculate response rates in survey research i (Groves, 1989; Groves and Lynberg, 1988; Wiseman and Billington, 1984; Frey, 1983; and Dillman, 1978). The method used in this oroiect was conservative: most other ways of calculating response rate would DrOdUCe higher rates. The final response rate for the CPS was 57 percent. Table 3.2 shows sample disposition at the end of the campaign period survey and Table 3.3 shows national and provincial response rates. The proportion of "callbacks" and "never answered" are both one to two percent f. higher than is typical in studies conducted at ISR. This results from the ‘/. . limitations imposed by using the rolling cross section sampling strategy, a strategy that curtailed the length of time a number was in the field. A longer field period would reduce the number of these results and increased the response rate by a percent or two. t The response rate was defined as the number of completed interviews divided by [ the estimated number of eligible households times 100 percent. Of the 12,352 z . telephone numbers included in the sample 6,027 were eligible households (Table 3.2). Not eligible households (respondent was unable to speak either English or French, was not healthy enough to complete the interview, nonresidential and not in service numbers, etc.) accounted for 5,730 of the telephone numbers. It was not possible to determine the eligibility status for 595 of I the sample telephone numbers. For response rate calculations, it was assumed that the proportion of these 595 numbers which were household numbers was the i. same as it was in the rest of sample. 10 .

Often more than one callback was arranged. No interview was completed before the 12 day data collection period was over. The household eligibility rate was .51 (eligibles [6,0271/eligibles [6,027] + not eligibles [5,730] = .51). The estimated total number of eligibles was then computed as 6,332 (6,027 + [.51 x 5951 - 6.332). Dividing the number of completions (3,609) by the estimated number of eligibles (6,332) gives a final response rate of 57 percent. 5 5 Of course, it is impossible to know what proportion of the "eligibility not determined" numbers should be included in the denominator for the response rate calculations. The response rate, when calculated as completions/eligible is (3,609/6,027) 60 percent. 11 unexpected (Table 3.3). Geographical variation in-response rates is typical of studies conducted at ISR. Considerable variation in response rates has been found for provincial telephone surveys (Bates, 1984), national telephone surveys (Tibert, et al, 1986; and Bryant, Gold, Northrup and Stevenson, 1989), and national mail surveys (Northrup, 1985). Geographical variation in response rates has also been noted by American survey researchers (Dunkleberg and Day, 1973; Fitzgerald and Fuller, 1982; and Steeh, 1979). Most authors have noted that response rates are lower in larger urban areas. Not surprisingly, the response rate for the CPS was highest in the Atlantic Provinces and Saskatchewan, the provinces with the smallest proportions of their population residing in major urban centres; and lowest in Ontario and Quebec, the provinces with the largest proportion of their population residing in major urban centres.

The mean number of completions for each t replicate was 76.8 and the standard deviation was 11.4. There was considerably less variation in the response rate (mean - 57 and standard deviation = 6.1). The amount of variation in the response rate among the 47 L , replicates indicates that about half the variation in the number of completions resulted from the characteristics of the replicate (number of days d in data collection, number of sample codes released and proportion of numbers i-i that were eligible households). Of course variation in the number of completions and response rates among the replicates is exaggerated by the shorter data collection time period for the replicates released in the last days of the campaign. Six of the thirteen replicates having more than a five percent difference from the final response 12 -- rate were in the last seven replicates released. It is reasonable to conclude that variations in response among the replicates will have minimal impact on analysis of events over the course of the campaign. More than half the interviews were completed on one of the first three call attempts and only a small number of completions required ten or more attempts (Table 3.1). The most calls made to complete a PES was 25. A minimum of 12 attempts, at various times of the day, evening and weekend, were made to each "ring no answer" in order to reduce the nonresponse from not at homes. Refusals were called a second time. A small number of first time refusers (44 or 1.5 percent) completed the survey on the second call. 3.4 Data Collection Procedures: Post Election Survev -,‘,1 .! Cover sheets for the 3,609 completions were randomly ordered at the conclusion j of the CPS so attempts to obtain PES interviews were not related to the i! completion date of the CPS. Calling for the PES started on November 23rd, 1988, two days after the election and continued until December 22nd, 1988. Sixty eight percent of the 2,922 respondents who completed the PES were interviewed in the 30 days after the election. Calling resumed after the Christmas break on January 3, 1989 and was completed on January 26th, 1989. i... 3.5 Reinterview Rates: Post Election Survev The final disposition of sample at the conclusion of the PES is presented in Table 3.5. Brief explanation of some of the result codes is in order. The "wrong number" result most likely represents incorrect interviewer dialings in the CPS. When called in the PES the "person" who answered the telephone (usually an operator, recorded messages indicating the number was not in service, or some other type of operator intercept) verified the interviewer reached the number they dialed, but clearly indicated that no one at that number was interviewed before the election. The "not traceable" cases resulted from an interviewer reaching the correct number and finding the respondent (or the household) had moved, getting an operator intercept noting that the number had been changed to unlisted, or other results that made it impossible to contact the respondent. The result "ill" indicated that the respondent was contacted but they, or more often another household member, reported that the respondent was either physically or mentally not capable of completing the interview. "Away" indicates that another household member indicated the respondent had moved to a second home for the winter months. Very few refusals were obtained in the PES and, as a result, the reinterview rate i.: for the PES was high (81 percent). Reinterview rate was defined as the number of completed interviews divided by the number of respondents in the CPS times 100 percent. 13 .-1 TABLE 3.4 NUMBEROF COMPLETIONSAND RESPONSERATE BY REPLICATE: CAMPAIGN PERIOD SURVEY Response Response Replicate Eligible Rate % Replicate Eligible Rate % 1 82 57 25 80 55 2 85 54 26 69 57 3 83 61 27 73 60 4 91 61 28 73 57 ,_I 5 74 56 29 76 57 ~ I : 6 88 58 30 91 60 t 7 88 61 31 88 63 8 82 56 32 84 60 9 83 59 33 80 54 10 87 62 34 78 58 11 75 51 35 75 54 12 89 64 36 73 56 13 77 60 37 90 64 14 71 58 38 82 59 15 83 60 39 67 52 16 72 59 40 69 55 17 70 60 41 66 50 18 92 67 42 78 58 19 80 63 43 67 51 20 93 65 44 55 45 21 77 58 45 57 44 22 85 65 46 45 41 23 72 54 47 40 37 24 74 60 TOTAL 3609 57.0 i’ i,: 14 TABLE 3.5 FINAL SAMPLE DISPOSITION: POST ELECTION SURVEY Result Number Percent I-- Completion 2922 81.0 Refusals 321 8.9 Callback 167 4.6 I Ill 16 .4 !

Also, the negative relationship between response rate and proportion of the population living in large urban centres is less well defined. Two of the least "urban" provinces have the lowest (Newfoundland) and highest response rates (PEI). Quebec continues to have the lowest rate but, it is much closer to the Ontario rate in the PES than in the CPS. The amount of variation among the number of completed interviews among the replicates is also less in the PES compared to the CPS (Table 3.7). This decrease in variation can be seen by comparing the means and standard deviations. The mean number of completions in the CPS is 76.8 and the standard deviation is 11.7 while the comparable figures for the PES are 62.2 and 9.2. (The decrease in the standard deviation between the PES and CPS exceeds the decrease in the mean number of completions.) Importantly, variation in the proportion of.CPS respondents completing the PES (the response rate: 81 percent) is less than the variation in the number of completions among the replicates in both the CPS and PES. The standard I deviation for this proportion is 5.4 (compared to 9.2 for PES and 13.7 for CPS). These figures indicate that variation in response rate over time is not likely to be a significant factor in explaining temporal variations in the t data during the campaign. 15 .

Ninety percent of the 2,922 respondents to the PES provided a name and mailing address. (In a small number of cases the respondent provided only initials, or asked that the questionnaire be sent to their workplace.) These 2,635 people (.90 x 2,922) were the sample for the mail survey. In an effort to maximize response to the mail survey, questionnaires were sent I out on a weekly basis during the conduct of the PES. Sending out the mailback 1. survey once all of the post election interviews were completed (up to two months after the first respondents completed the PES) probably would have decreased the respondents' perceived salience of the mail survey and depressed the mailback reinterview rate. A reminder card was sent one week after the questionnaire. A second questionnaire was sent approximately three weeks after the reminder card and this questionnaire was followed by a telephone reminder. 16 t i.

The provincial pattern of response noted for the CPS and the PES is also present for the mail survey. Table 3.8 depicts the percentage distribution of completions for each survey wave. 3.8 Cumulative Resoonse Rate for All Survev Waves When conducting analysis that includes data from the PES survey and the mailback survey, it is important to note that overall response rate is the product of the response rate to the CPS (57) times the response rate to the :j 2 PES (83) times the response rate to the mailback survey (80) or 39 percent. f Researchers have noted that attrition from panel studies is not random (Waterton and Lievesley, 1986; Powers and Blytena, 1972; Parnes, 1972; and Streib, 1966). However, methods of compensation for missing observations are available (Kalton, 1986). , TABLE 3.8 PROVINCIAL DISTRIBUTION OF COMPLETEDINTERVIEWS AS PRESENTEDIN SAMPLE i DESIGN AND BY SURVEY WAVE Original Sample Design Camnaign Period Post Election Mailback Province Number Percent Number Percent Number Percent Number Percent Nfld. 100 2.9 113 3.1 90 3.1 68 3.2 P.E.I. 100 2.9 127 3.5 109 3.7 85 4.0 N.S. 100 2.9 100 3.0 90 3.1 66 3.1 N.B. 200 5.7 213 5.9 172 5.9 134 6.3 Quebec 900 25.7 835 23.1 637 21.8 452 21.4 Ontario 900 25.7 968 26.8 783 26.8 565 26.7 Manitoba 200 5.7 179 5.0 145 5.0 98 4.6 Sask. 200 5.7 193 5.3 162 5.5 119 5.6 Alberta 400 11.4 446 12.4 379 13.0 272 12.9 B.C. 400 11.4 426 11.8 355 12.1 256 12.1 TOTAL 3,500 100.00 3,609 100.00 2,422 100.00 2,115 100.00 18 4 DATA PROCESSINGNOTES 4.1 Introduction This section of the technical documentation provides a variable description list as well as a map of variables as they appear on the raw data and SPSSx system file. Comment on the CAT1 experiments and the occupation coding is also provided. Note that the variable names in the SPSSx program code are in upper case, though in the original CAT1 instrument, the item numbers/names are in lower case. The PES variable names are prefixed with an "X" and the mailback with a '2'. 4.2 CAT1 Exoeriments Utilizing Random Numbers CAT1 facilities were used to vary item wording and order in both the CPS and the PES. An example of a wording experiment is instructive. There were four versions of the Meech Lake Accord item (L4A - L4D) in the CPS. The first version of the item is presented below. Now I would like to ask you about the Meech Lake Accord, reached last f year between the federal and provincial governments. i:::, Do you support or oppose it? The second version of the item, after the opening comment but before the question, included the following stimulus: "Under this accord, Quebec is recognized as a distinct society". The third included: "Under this accord, the government of Quebec has agreed to accept the new Constitution of Canada, as the other provinces did in 1981. The fourth included: "Under this accord the powers of the provincial government are strengthened in various ways". The responses for the item, which were the same in all four versions, were "supports, "neither support or oppose", "oppose", "don't know", and "refused". Which version of the item the respondent was given depended on the value of random number 4 (identified in the data set as (RN4). In the example above RN4 had a value of "O", "l", "2", or "3". During the conduct of the interview CAT1 would, on the basis of the value of RN4, present the interviewer with the appropriate version of the Meech Lake Accord item (e.g., if RN4 was 1 then the interviewer read the "distinct society" version of the item to the respondent). The values for each random number, associated with each of the ' CAT1 experiments, were assigned to each telephone number in the sample before the interviewing commenced. (Because not all telephone numbers in the sample resulted in a completed interview the proportions of the sample receiving each version of the item may not be identical.) Examination of the frequency distribution for items containing experiments should be informed by the distribution for each version of the item. The variable label for each item containing wording experiments includes the random number. Tabulation of the item by the random number (a cross- 19 tabulation) will detail the marginal distribution to each version of the experimental item. - Items employing the use of random numbers include: L2 Free Trade Agreement With U.S.*ENi' L2A1 How Feel>Canada Lose Control Economy*RN2' L2A2 How Feel> Hard Maintain Social Pgms*RNP' L2A3 How Feel> Cdns Lose Jobs L.. Question order randomization was included in the CPS and the PES. For example, the questions on vote intention were asked either very early in the survey or near the end just before the sociodemographic items were asked. As t with the wording experiments, a random number is associated with the experimentation. Order randomization in the CPS was repeated in the PES. Order randomization experiments include: Campaign Period Survey section b vote intentions RN7 D2A-D2J leader, party and candidate ratings RN8 D3A-D5B impression of party leaders RN9 D6A-D7C impressions of candidates RN11 section f strategic contingencies RN10 16A-16B abortion RN14 Post Election Survey E2A-E21 leader, party and candidate ratings XRN8 F4A-F4B abortion XEN14 4L GlA-G3D impression of party leaders xRN9 IlA-13C impressions of candidates XRNll LlA-L2E free trade XRN7 L8A-LlOA party leaders promised to spend xRN9 20 4.3 Variable Descriotion List The variable name is capitalized and to the left in the following list. The items used in the three surveys are listed in the following sequence. Items that describe the respondent, regardless of the survey wave they were collected in, are listed first. Information collected in the telephone surveys follows. These items are grouped in general catagories which are ordered alphabetically. Finally, items included in the mailback survey are listed in the order in which they appear in the questionnaire. 4.31 Sampling and Study Procedures and Information Describing the Respondent Sampling and study procedures for CPS IDNUM Respondent Identification Number PROVINCE Province of Interview REPLICAT Sample Replicate Code SAMPLE Sample Code OVER Over Sample AREACODE Telephone Area Code i INTDATE Date of Interview Sampling and study procedures for PES XPROV Province of Interview XREPLIC Sample Replicate Code XSAMPLE Sample Code XOVER Over Sample XAREACOD Telephone Area Code XINTDATE Date of Interview 21 Sampling and study procedures for Mailback Survey !

The open-ended text was then coded into a O-digit occupation category using the text "Standard Occupational Classification, 1980", Statistics Canada, 1981. If the respondent refused an answer to item "N5", current labour force status, the occupation code was left blank. : The codebook for the 1980 occupation classifications is contained in this i section. Appended to each occupation is a socio-economic index score. These indices are commonly referred to as "Blishen Scores" and are based on the male labour force population who reported an occupation in the 1981 Canadian i. Census.. The development of the scale is reported in Blishen, Carroll and i Moore, (1987). Another well-known socio-economic index was developed by Pineo Porter and McRoberts (1977) based on the 1971 Canadian Census. This index was updated in 1985 to reflect the 1981 Census and is reported in McMaster University (1985). The data file contains two socio-economic indices. The Blishen Scores are contained in the variable "BLISH81" and are identical to those shown in the detailed codebook. The Pineo/Porter/McRoberts scores are contained in the variable "PINPOR81". The full set of SPSSx recode statements used to create these two indices is available from the Institute on request.
