  • Appendix File 1997 Pilot Study (1997.Pn)
    Page 1 of 226 Version 01 Codebook ------------------- CODEBOOK APPENDIX FILE 1997 PILOT STUDY (1997.PN) >>1997 NES Pilot Technical Note - Randomization Problem April 24, 1998 The Surveycraft CATI system's 'Random Number Generation' features and their Effects on Analysis of the 1997 NES Pilot "Group threat" Experiment. Steve Heeringa, Division of Survey Technologies, Survey Research Center Executive Summary: A problem has been identified in the random assignment of treatments in an experimental question module of the 1997 NES Pilot survey instrument. The randomization problem has been linked to unexpected correlation in sequences of random number calls made within the Surveycraft computer-assisted interviewing system. The problem does produce an unbalanced distribution of sample cases to the cells of the factorial experimental design but does not lead to a bias in the interpretation of the experimental results. Details are provided below. A report that analyzes these items is the 1997 pilot study report by J. Bowers. A portion of the 1997 NES Pilot questionnaire (section 'J') includes a "group threat" factorial experimental design to study question order and 'threat level' treatment effects in a series of items that explore respondent views and prejudices toward African-Americans and Christian Fundamentalists. The full design involves 2 question sequence orderings - African-Americans first or Christian Fundamentalists first; 2 levels of intended "threat" - high and low; and 3 'threat domains': political, social and economic. The Survey Craft computer assisted interview (CAI) application used an internal random number generator to determine each subject's assignment to target group order and threat level for the questions about each target group.

Click here for our weekly roundup of national blogs. Northeast On Wednesday, New Hampshire’s NHJournal writes that in the wake of the first televised debate between Senator Jeanne Shaheen and her Republican midterm challenger, Scott Brown, both sides have accused the other of lying. The GOP says that Shaheen lied about her opposition to a nuclear plant, while the Shaheen camp says that Brown lied in his denial of ever voting to help U.S. companies outsource American jobs overseas. Many commentators across the country regard Vermont’s recent gubernatorial debate as a national joke, writes Green Mountain Daily this week. They say that while there were some funny moments in the debate which featured seven candidates, they are proud that Vermont has an inclusive election process which allows any concerned citizen to run for high office, and gives them a chance to be heard. Heading south to Massachusetts, Outside the Beltway writes this week that Democrat Marha Coakley looks likely to fail in another election bid in the state. They say after losing the state’s Senate race in 2010 to Scott Brown, she is now down by nine points against her Republican challenger for the state’s Governorship, Charlie Baker.
