VI GESIS Variable Report

1.2 Content

1.2.1 Abstract

This round of Eurobarometer surveys queried respondents on standard Eurobarometer measures such as public awareness of and attitudes toward the (EU), and also focused on the European Parliament and radioactive waste.

Respondents were asked to rate the importance of the role of the European Parliament in the European Union and to indicate whether they voted in the June 1994 European Parliament elections and if they intended to vote in the June 1999 European Parliament elections. They were also queried about which policy areas, e.g., the environment, currency, employment, education, and immigration, the European Parliament should pay particular attention to in order to protect their personal interests.

Another topic in the survey covered radioactive waste. Respondents were asked for their opinions on which European nation produced the greatest amount of radioactive waste and how worried they were about the radioactive waste problem. They also answered questions regarding underground projects for waste storage and indicated whether they were in favor of storing radioactive waste from another European Union country. Other questions on radioactive waste focused on waste management, waste processing, and safety issues.

Demographic and other background information includes respondents´ age, sex, marital status, and left-right political self-placement, as well as household income, number of people residing in the home, occupation,cupation, religion, and region of residence.

1.3 Universe

In all, Eurobarometer 50.0 interviewed 16.155 citizens of the 15 countries in the European Union (nationals and non-nationals but EU-citizens). Respondents were aged 15 and over. Separate samples were drawn for Northern Eurobarometer 50.0, October-November 1998 VII

Ireland and East Germany.

1.4 Sampling procedure

A multi-stage sampling design was used for this Eurobarometer. In the first stage, primary sampling units (PSU) were selected from each of the administrative regions in every country (i.e., Statistical Office of the European Community, regions). PSU selection was systematic with probability proportional to population size, from sampling frames stratified by the degree of urbanization. In the next stage, a cluster of addresses was selected from each sampled PSU. Addresses were chosen systematically using standard random route procedures, beginning with an initial address selected at random. In each household, a respondent was selected, by a random procedure. Up to three recalls were made to obtain an with the selected respondent. No more than one interview was conducted in each household. Interviews were conducted face-to-face in respondents´ homes in the appropriate national language. is using a random sample bought at the government bureau.

The regular sample size (in the sense of completed interviews) is 1000 respondents per country, except the with separate samples for Great Britain (1000) and Northern Ireland (300), Germany with separate samples for the Eastern (500) and the Western part (1000), and , (Republic), and with 500 interviews each. The effective number of realized interviews in this round is indicated in table 1.

1.5 Fieldwork

From October 11 to November 30, 1998, International Research Associates of Europe, INRA (Europe), carried out the fieldwork for this Eurobarometer, at the request of the "Survey, Research, Analysis" Unit of the Directorate General X, "Information, Communication and Culture", of the European Commission. INRA (Europe) is a European network of market and public opinion research agencies, co-ordinated by the European Co-ordination Office (ECO), Avenue R.Vandendriessche 18, B-1150 Brussels.

1.6 Mode of data collection

In all member states, fieldwork was conducted on the basis of detailed and uniform instructions prepared by the ECO.

INRA (Europe) developed equivalent French and English basic questionnaires for this Eurobarometer. These questionnaires were translated into other languages by the firms responsible for interviewing in each country.

1.7 Weighting

In general the Standard and Special Eurobarometer data sets provide for two types of weighting, a post- stratification sample weighting and a population size weighting.

For each sample, i.e. participating country or lower level region, a comparison between the sample composition and a proper universe description is carried out for internal weighting purposes. The universe description is made available by the National Survey Research Institutes and/or by EUROSTAT. On this basis a national weighting procedure, using marginal and intercellular weighting, is applied. As such in all countries, minimum sex, age, region NUTS II (basic regions as defined by the EUROSTAT nomenclature of territorial units for statistics), and size of locality are introduced in the iteration procedure. This post-stratification weighting is also referred to as redressment or non-response weighting. A design weight which would adjust for unequal selection probabilities (depending on the household size) is not made available.

For the descriptive analysis of individual samples or their comparison, up to six weighting variables are provided in each data set and documented as such in the variable description. Until Eurobarometer 31 the corresponding weight variable is labelled NATION WEIGHT II. Weighting factors were then not included continuously for all samples and weighting procedure might have differed from the foregoing description. While weighting usually Eurobarometer 50.0, October-November 1998 IX reproduces the real number of cases for each sample, between Eurobarometer 33 and 54.1 samples can also be adjusted to their predefined standard size of exactly 1000 or 500 cases. This option was applied for the official Eurobarometer reports of the period.

The population size weighting factor corrects for the fact that most samples are of almost identical size, no matter how large or small the populations are from which they were drawn. These weights ensure that each country as well as each lower level sample (Great Britain and Northern Ireland, East and ) are represented in proportion to its population size within different groupings, or according to the historical states of European unification (e.g. founder members, new members, Euro zone) in the case of the EUROPEAN WEIGHTS, or for the United Kingdom (WEIGHT SPECIAL UNITED KINGDOM, NATION WEIGHT I until Eurobarometer 31A) and for Germany as a whole (WEIGHT SPECIAL GERMANY).

The population size weights all include the post-stratification weighting factors. The EUROPEAN WEIGHTs adjust each sample in proportion to its share in the total population of the European Union (formerly European Community), aged 15 and over. These adjustments are based on population figures published by EUROSTAT in the Regional Statistics Yearbook. In some cases more than 20 European weights are provided for use in analyses of the European Union population as a whole or in accordance with its historical compositions. Between Eurobarometer 33 and 54.1 adjustments to the predefined standard sample size is taken into account. In general all samples which do not belong to the respective group of samples under consideration are excluded from calculation.

The application of post-stratification weights is recommended for descriptive (univariate) analysis. Meaningful descriptive results for groups of countries or for countries with separate samples (United Kingdom and Germany) require population size weighting. Official Eurobarometer reports are always based on weighted data.

Starting with Eurobarometer 66.2 a new additional weight (WEIGHT EXTRA) is provided which extrapolates the actual universe (population aged 15 or more) for each country or sample. This weight variable integrates all other available weights, but does not reproduce the number of cases in the data set, but the respective actual population size.

As needed, OVERSAMPLES (see chapter 2.4, table 3) are weighted separately as documented in the respective study and weight variable description. In some surveys special weights are made available for application with selected variables on a specific topic, e.g. for the descriptive analysis of variables regarding e-communication equipment on HOUSEHOLD level.

Eurobarometer 50.0 provides five (post-stratification) NATION WEIGHTS: NATION WEIGHT IIa (WEIGHT RESULT FROM TARGET) for separate analysis or comparison of individual samples (countries or regions on sub-national level), NATION WEIGHT I (WEIGHT SPECIAL UNITED KINGDOM) which in addition adjusts the British and the Northern Irish samples to their respective proportions in the United Kingdom for descriptive analysis of the United Kingdom as a whole, NATION WEIGHT III (WEIGHT SPECIAL GERMANY), which adds the adjustment of the East and West German samples to their respective proportions in the United Germany, to be used for descriptive analysis of the United Germany as a whole. NATION WEIGHT IV (WEIGHT SPECIAL GERMANY & UNITED KINGDOM) combines NATION WEIGHT I and NATION WEIGHT III. WEIGHT ADJUSTED TO STANDARD SIZE (Nation Weight IIb) is equivalent to WEIGHT RESULT FROM TARGET adjusting all samples to the standard size of 1000 cases (respectively 300 for Northern Ireland and 600 for Luxembourg). All other samples (nations) are included, likewise all post-stratification factors.

The different EUROPEAN WEIGHTS provide adjustments for each (national) sample in proportion to its share in X GESIS Variable Report the total population aged 15 and over, of the European Union, within groups of member countries representing different historical states of European integration (e.g. EURO6 = six founder members). All post-stratification factors are included.

For more detailed information on the individual weights please see the corresponding variable description.

1.8 Data preparation

The data received by ZA from INRA (EUROPE) were checked for missing and duplicate records, for illegal (wild) codes and for consistency of response patterns. Errors discovered by these procedures were corrected or noted in this codebook. Indices and other derived summary variables were also checked and corrected as necessary. Complete machine-readable documentation was created for this dataset by ZA.

To facilitate analyses of the data, ZA created new variables which consolidate information dispersed over two or more variables in the original INRA dataset. Four variables containing condensed information were created by ZA for this Eurobarometer: NATION I, NATION III, NATION IV, and REGION II. Users should be aware that ZA´s process of condensing information sometimes produces coding schemes that differ from those in earlier Eurobarometer.

ZA also added "Inappropriate" (Inap.) codes to indicate intentionally skipped questions when it could be determined that the appropriate skip instruction in the INRA questionnaire was adhered to for (almost) every respondent.

Users should note that INRA has occasionally represented answers to a question by a series of binary "dummy" variables (i.e. variables which take on values of one and zero only) creating separate "dummy" variables to explicitly represent "Don´t know", "No answer" or other residual responses, such as "None of the above". ZA has recoded these residual responses in the case of inconsistencies with respect to the series of principal answers.

ZA has recoded the missing answers (NA) represented in the INRA data set by blanks.

Question text and contingency text appearing in this codebook and ZA´s machine-readable documentation is taken from INRA´s English language version of the basic bilingual questionnaire. Coding schemes and other documentation are based on INRA´s English language version of the basic bilingual questionnaire, INRA´s codebook (in English) and INRA´s SPSS setup for its dataset as received by ZA. Whenever a discrepancy occurs between INRA´s codebook, questionnaires, SPSS setup and dataset with respect to the coding scheme of a variable, ZA has carried out any correction in agreement with INRA.

If the documentation for country-specific questions or coding is provided by INRA in other languages than English, ZA documents the original language wording and supplies the English translation in brackets.

Please see the respective variable documentation (variable notes) for specific remarks on data inconsistencies or processing.

Starting with Eurobarometer 49 variables with country Specific categories are also, and in addition to the respective integrated variable, made available as single country variables.

Eurobarometer 50.0, October-November 1998 XI

2 Eurobarometer Series Description

2.1 Series name

The Standard and Special Eurobarometer (a.k.a. Euro-Barometer) Survey Series

2.2 Series information

The Standard and Special Eurobarometer surveys are the products of a unique program of cross-national and cross-temporal survey research. The effort began in early 1970, when the Commission of the European Communities sponsored simultaneous surveys of the publics of the European Community. In general they are carried out in spring and fall of each year. Three pilot studies were conducted in 1970, 1971 and 1973 under the header of European Communities Studies; "Attitudes towards Europe" (GESIS id ZA0078), the very first comparative survey across European Communities founder members in 1962, can be seen as an early forerunner. The primary data of the first explicit Eurobarometer, conducted in spring 1974, have not been preserved.

2.3 Principal investigators and institutional background

The Eurobarometer program was initially launched and managed until 1986 by Jacques-René Rabier, head of the Commission's press and information directorate and afterwards special advisor to the Commission of the European Communities. He counted with the political support of the European Parliament and the close co- operation of Ronald Inglehart. The political scientist at the University of Michigan was then developing his theory of value change in modern societies and his materialist/post-materialist items would become integral part of the Eurobarometer until the mid nineties. Between 1987 and 1996 the program was continued and considerably enlarged under the direction of Karlheinz Reif, since 1993 together with Anna Melich.

Anna Melich took over the Eurobarometer direction from 1997 to 1999, by then still within the organizational framework of the former Directorate-General X, Public Opinion Surveys and Research Unit. In 2000/2002 Eurobarometer were intermittently conducted in the framework of the DG Education and Culture, Citizens´ Centre - Analysis of Public Opinion under the direction of Harald Hartung, and starting with Eurobarometer 54 under DG Press and Communication, initially directed by Thomas Christensen. Since 1999 the organisation and supervision of the surveys were consecutively executed by Rubén Mohedano-Brèthes (until 2002) and Renaud Soufflot de Magny (until 2006), with Antonis Papcostas as head of unit between 2003 and 2010.

The main survey results are regularly published on the European Commission’s Public Opinion website in official standard and special topic reports.

2.4 Development of geographical and population coverage

In all European Union (formerly “European Communities”) member countries Standard Eurobarometer samples were initially drawn among the national population, aged 15 and over. Starting with Eurobarometer 41.1 the target population is the population of any nationality of an European Union member country, aged 15 years and over, resident in any of the Member States. For test purposes Eurobarometer 41.0 included a non-national European Union citizens oversample.

XII GESIS Variable Report

Eurobarometer regularly include all member countries, starting with the six founder members and in accordance with the subsequent enlargement process. Norway has been in-officially included in selected waves between 1989 (EB34) and 1996 (EB46), Finland started before the actual enlargement in 1993 (EB39.0), and a few Swiss Eurobarometer were run in parallel to selected waves or topics starting in 1999 (EB51.1) in Switzerland. Candidate Countries (CC) and Accession Countries (AC) for the Eastern enlargement process were first surveyed in the Candidate Countries Eurobarometer series (2001-2004) and then all included in the standard series, even before accession as in the cases of or Macedonia.

Additional samples are drawn for Great Britain and Northern Ireland almost from the start, in Germany (East and West) after the re-unification in 1989, and in Cyprus for the Turkish Cypriote Community (Northern Cyprus) since 2004 for selected standard and topical waves.

The regular standard sample size (in the sense of completed interviews) in Eurobarometer surveys is 1000 respondents per country, except small countries like Luxembourg or Malta. The 44.2bis MEGA-survey increased the standard sample up to 6000 respondents (for the largest countries) in order to achieve more confidence for analysis on sub-national level.

Oversamples have been drawn intermittently if required by the topic, i.e. to ensure that there are enough members of the relevant population subgroup to report sufficiently reliable estimates. Intentionally more people are selected from the respective group than would typically be done if everyone in the sample had an equal chance of being selected.

2.5 Standard question program and special topics

Standard Eurobarometer surveys were designed to provide a regular monitoring of the social and political attitudes among the European publics, to obtain regular readings of support for European integration, public awareness of and attitudes toward European unification, the institutions of the European Community / European Union, and its policies in complementary fashion. Attitudes toward the organization and role of the European Parliament and electoral behavior became a major topic in pre- and post- European Elections times. The standard program was complemented by measures of general socio-political orientations, of subjective satisfaction and the perceived quality of life, or of cultural, national and European identities.

Intermittently Standard Eurobarometer have investigated SPECIAL TOPICS, such as agriculture, biotechnology, energy, environment, family planning, gender roles, health related issues, immigration, poverty and social exclusion, regional identity, science and technology, information society, working conditions, urban traffic, knowledge of languages etc. In the case of some supplementary studies, special youth and elderly samples have been drawn (see table 3).

Starting with Eurobarometer 34 (1990) additional supplementary surveys on special issues have been conducted under each main wave number, identified by dot-separated sub-numbers for each individual survey. Usually only one survey per main wave includes the standard and trend module with focus on European integration issues. The following list (table 4) identifies the surveys containing the standard module and with results reported in the corresponding official standard report, or which at least include a subset of standard indicators, or with focus on European integration in a special topic context (e.g. "The future of Europe" in Eurobarometer 65.1).

3 Dataset structure and standards

Standard and Special Eurobarometer are processed and documented by the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) and by the GESIS Data Archive department in accordance with agreed standards, which may in some details diverge from the usual ICPSR or GESIS archive standards. In addition and as long as reasonable it was adhered to standards once established for the Eurobarometer series in the course of the years.

3.1 Dataset structure

In general the variable structure of the analysis dataset is aligned to the basic bilingual questionnaire, preceded by a set of technical variables. These comprise the archive identification variables (archive study and version id), the survey identification variables (wave and unique respondent id), and several standard NATION variables identifying the different samples (countries or regions) and relevant groups of samples in the dataset with the corresponding WEIGHT variables provided by the fieldwork institutes (see 1.7). A special alphanumeric NATION variable is provided based on the ISO 3166 country code standard for the purpose of breaking down variables by sample in terms of clearly summarized cross-tabulations.

The questionnaire variables usually consist of three types, the substantial questions (Q), the Eurobarometer standard demographics (D) and the interview protocol variables (P). The dataset is concluded by constructed index variables (C), usually as provided by the fieldwork institute, by a questionnaire SPLIT variable if applicable, and by further original identification variables.

Variable names consist of the standard prefix ‘V’ and the consecutive variable number, except ISOCNTRY and VERSION variables if subsequently added to older datasets. Variable labels are standardized in the sense that they provide keywords based on the question text and that these keywords are applied consistently if questions or question items are repeated over time (trend variables). Variable label may include abbreviations if required, e.g. limitations regarding the length of variable labels in older versions of statistical analysis software. Starting with Eurobarometer 33 the variable labels include the respective question number as a reference to the basic bilingual questionnaire.

3.2 Coding frames

By general rule, the variables adopt the coding frame as specified in the basic bilingual questionnaire, except multiple response questions (see 1.8), questions with country specific answer categories and missing values.

3.2.1 Country specific answer categories

Eurobarometer include some questions (variables) with country specific answer categories like INCOME, SIZE OF COMMUNITY, REGION or variables related to VOTING BEHAVIOUR with reference to POLITICAL PARTIES. Until Eurobarometer 48 only one integrated variable is supplied with each category representing country specific meanings (e.g. geographic regions) which are not documented within the analysis dataset by means of value labels, but only in the extended variable description in the variable report. Starting with Eurobarometer 49 the integrated variables are retained but complemented by completely labeled country specific variables. The country specific coding schemes and categories are maintained as a standard over time as long as the category schemes XVIII GESIS Variable Report provided in the questionnaire are remain comparable.

Special attention is given to the coding of POLITICAL PARTIES in voting behavior variables such as VOTE INTENTION or LAST VOTE based on a standard coding scheme, originally developed for the Eurobarometer by Ronald Inglehart.

Starting with Euro-Barometer 2 the coding of this variable has been standardized following an approximate ordering of each country’s political parties along a "left" to "right" continuum in the first digit of the codes. Parties coded 01-39 are generally considered on the "left", those coded 40-49 in the "centre", and those coded 60-89 on the "right" of the political spectrum. Parties coded 50-59 cannot be readily located in the traditional meaning of "left" and "right". The second digit of the codes is not significant to the "left-right" ordering. Codes 90-99 contain the response "other party" and various missing data responses. Major “party families” like the Social Democrats or Conservatives have been assigned identical values across countries, if possible.

From Eurobarometer 69.2 onwards, the “party family” harmonization approach has been sharpened following and updating the coding scheme developed by ZEUS for the Mannheim Eurobarometer Trend File. This ZEUS Code of Party Families is country specific, i.e. the categories have different meanings for different countries. It has three digits: The first represents the party family, the second and third identify an individual party in this family. Individual parties are coded consistently over time. The assignment of parties to families is done according to their overall ideological orientations.

Table 5: ZEUS Party Family Code (slightly modified)

Category Party Family

0 (001-099) not affiliated / electoral alliances across “families” 1 (100-199) Communists 2 (200-299) Socialists 3 (300-399) Liberals 4 (400-499) Christian Democrats 5 (500-599) Conservatives 6 (600-699) Extreme Rights / Nationalists 7 (700-799) Regionalists / Ethnic 8 (800-899) Environmental parties 9 (900-949) Agricultural parties 9 (950-989) other special issue parties (e.g. Eurosceptics) and independents

990 other (spontaneous) 994 not voting age 995 empty ballot (blank) or invalid vote 996 not voted / would not vote 997 Refused 998 DK / DK+NA if NA not coded separately 999 INAP (inappropriate)

If available, the former standard category used up to Eurobarometer 61 is always referenced in the variable description. Due to general changes in party systems and to the ideological development of individual political Eurobarometer 50.0, October-November 1998 XIX parties, the assignment of parties to party families cannot claim general validity. Users may modify these codings or part of these codings in order to suit their specific needs.

3.2.2 Missing values

In general missing value codes are defined in accordance with the standard once established for the Eurobarometer series, in particular the default use of whatever value supplied by the basic questionnaire for DK (“don’t know”) responses, unless a standard coding scheme is applied for demographic or protocol variables. The value 0 is applied for NA (i.e. “not ascertained” resp. “no answer”) and the value 9 (99, 999, …) for INAP (i.e. “inappropriate” resp. “not applicable”). If one of these values falls into the valid range of codes, the missing values are shifted to the next available missing value code or “level”, e.g. if 0 is used in a dichotomous variable (NOT MENTIONED), value 9 is used for NA, respectively value 8 if value 9 is already used for INAP. If necessary the corresponding two- or more digit codes are used (99, 999, 98, 998 …). Recently separate missing values are coded for INAP depending on whether the respondent was not asked a question due to questionnaire routing (filter non-response) or whether the question was not provided for in the country’s field questionnaire. Other missing values (e.g. REFUSAL) are coded with the in each case next available code (e.g. 7, 97, 997, …). In the analysis data set these codes are by default declared and treated as USER MISSING, but may be modified by the user to suit specific needs.

3.3 International documentation standard

The variable documentation is set up in accordance with the international metadata specifications for the social and behavioural sciences, established by the Data Documentation Initiative . The variable reports are based on the XML representation of DDI version 2. The documentation combines the exact wording and sequence of question components (question text, interviewer instruction, response categories, etc.) from the basic bilingual (master) questionnaire with the variable description (variable name, values, and labels) of the analysis dataset. General remarks and comments referring to a certain variable are defined as variable notes. Notes can be references to trend (comparability) information, standards applied for coding frames, problems in questionnaire translation, but also references to data problems or other specific characteristics. XX GESIS Variable Report

4 Explanation of the variable documentation

The variable documentation part describes each variable in the analysis data file in terms of relevant metadata and frequency distributions. The variable documentation is set up by means of the GESIS Dataset Documentation Manager (DSDM) and in accordance with international metadata standards (DDI-Codebook/XML).

In general, the following abbreviations are used to indicate countries or (sub-national) areas. As far as applicable, the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes have been applied and coded accordingly in the alphanumeric sample identification variable (NATION - ALL SAMPLES ISO 3166).

AT Austria HR Croatia BE Belgium HU Hungary BG Bulgaria IE Ireland CY Cyprus IT Italy CY-TCC Turkish Cypriote Community LT Lithuania CZ Czech Republic LU Luxembourg DE Germany (-1989) LV Latvia DE-W Germany West (1990 ff.) MK Macedonia (FYROM) DE-E Germany East (1990 ff.) MT Malta EE Estonia NL The Netherlands ES Spain PL Poland FI Finland PT Portugal FR France RO Romania GB United Kingdom SE Sweden GB-GBN Great Britain SI Slovenia GB-NIR Northern Ireland SK Slovakia GR Greece TR Turkey

The example explained below reproduces the information appearing in the variable documentation part for a typical substantive variable. Results are usually broken down by country (sample) or represented by frequency counts in the case of country specific variables. In the case of variables with long lists of coded “real” values (e.g. age), results are only presented for the corresponding categorized variable, if available. The content and construction of technical, administrative or other generated variables is described as appropriate.

The frequencies for substantive variables are calculated on the base of weighted data, as indicated with each table and in accordance with the European Commission’s official Eurobarometer reports. Typically the sample specific post-stratification (redressment) weight is applied (WEIGHT RESULT FROM TARGET or NATION WEIGHT II). Due to rounding, users may find slightly different figures if using other statistical packages, especially if the number of cases is very low.

The complete question and answer texts are taken from the English language part of the respective basic bilingual questionnaire (master questionnaire) as provided by the coordinating fieldwork institute. Eurobarometer 50.0, October-November 1998 XXI

VARIABLE NAME (serial number assigned by the archive) and VARIABLE LABEL as defined in the dataset.

QUESTION NUMBER and full QUESTION TEXT from the basic questionnaire, including interviewer instructions. The numbers or letters that may appear together with the original question number, reflect the item order (multiple item or multiple response questions) or indicate if a question was recoded (R) or summarized (T), or if asked only in a single country (country abbreviation).

CODE VALUES occurring in the data for this variable and complete ANSWER TEXT from the basic questionnaire. Code values may differ from the questionnaire specification due to standardization. Abbreviations commonly used in the code definitions are DK (don’t know), NA (not ascertained) and INAP (inappropriate).

DERIVATION information refers to the construction principle of indices or other derived variables (not in the example). NOTE delineates additional explanatory text subsuming trend information (last appearance of the question) or archive remarks on data processing and other issues relevant for the understanding or application of the variable.

CROSS-TABULATION: The absolute frequencies of the occurrence of values (absolute values) refer to the number of cases in the weighted dataset as indicated, in this case weighted by V8. The relative frequencies (row percent) refer to the valid cases (n valid sum), i.e. the total number of cases (n sum) reduced by the number of cases defined as missing data (M). For display and place saving reasons excluded countries or areas may be completely dropped from the table.

FREQUENCY COUNTS: For country specific variables relative frequencies are calculated in- and excluding missing data (M), i.e. percent on the basis of all cases (sum) and valid percent on the basis of the valid cases.

Starting with Eurobarometer 44.2bis the Eurobarometer are considering the new East German regional units as resulting from the regional reforms 1992-94. The new regional units on NUTS II LEVEL (Regierungsbezirke) for Sachsen-Anhalt are Dessau, Halle and Magdeburg; the new units for Sachsen (Chemnitz, Dresden, Leipzig) are only considered starting with Eurobarometer 48. REGION I categories used in former surveys up to number 44.1 are based on ex-GDR administrative units (Bezirke) and are not comparable to the new categories even if identical names are used. The almost unchanged NUTS I unit (Bundesland) Sachsen-Anhalt in Eurobarometer REGION II for example was formerly only composed of Halle and Magdeburg. PLEASE NOTICE that EAST GERMAN regional units on NUTS II level have not been supplied for EUROBAROMETER 50.0.

Starting with Eurobarometer 44.2bis the Eurobarometer are considering the new East German regional units as resulting from the regional reforms 1992-94. The new regional units on NUTS II level (Regierungsbezirke) for Sachsen-Anhalt are Dessau, Halle, and Magdeburg; the new units for Sachsen (Chemnitz, Dresden, Leipzig) are only considered starting with Eurobarometer 48. REGION I categories used in former surveys up to number 44.1 are based on ex-GDR adminstrative units (Bezirke) and are not comparable to the new categories even if identical names are used. The almost unchanged NUTS I unit (Bundesland) Sachsen-Anhalt in Eurobarometer REGION II for example was formerly only composed of Halle and Magdeburg. PLEASE NOTICE that EAST GERMAN

Note: Only in the case of West Germany "Region II" corresponds to the variable labelled "Region" in earlier Eurobarometers up to 31. If indicated, "Region II" units are consistent with the EUROSTAT nomenclature for regional statistics (NUTS).

Starting with Eurobarometer 44.2bis the East German federal units (Neue Bundesländer) are not any more constructed from the ex- GDR administrative regional units (Bezirke). There may be minor changes in the real territorial outline of each unit in comparison with the categories as constructed in former Eurobarometer up to survey number 44.1.

Starting with Eurobarometer 34 and up to survey 61, NUTS 1 level data (REGION II) for the NETHERLANDS are not (re-)coded in accordance with the official EUROSTAT nomenclature of territorial unit statistics. The NUTS 2 level province ZEELAND should be coded as belonging to NUTS 1 region (landsdel) WEST instead of SOUTH Netherlands. Archive releases have been corrected from EB 51 onwards.

Derivation: This index is based on the answers to the following two questions: "When you, yourself hold a strong opinion, do you ever find yourself persuading your friends, relatives or fellow workers to share your views? If so, does this happen often, from time to time or rarely?" (Q.4) and "When you get together with your friends, would you say you discuss political matters frequently, occasionally or never?" (Q.3). Interviewees giving affirmative answers to both questions are labelled + +. Interviewees giving negative answers to both questions are labelled - -. Middle categories (+ and -) are constituted correspondingly.

This variable forms an indicator of the individual's potential to take an active role in the political process. For a complete discussion of this variable and its correlates see Ronald Inglehart, The Silent Revolution: Changing Values and Political Styles among Western Publics (Princeton University Press, 1977).

0 Other answers (never any paid work, NA) 1 Farmer and fisher 2 Professionals 3 Owner of a shop, craftsmen, other self employed position 4 Business proprietors, owner of a company 5 Employed professional 6 General management 7 Middle management 8 Employed position, working mainly at a desk 9 Employed position , not at a desk but travelling 10 Employed position, not at a desk but in a service job 11 Supervisors 12 Skilled manual workers 13 Other (unskilled) manual worker

Derivation: Roughly half of the representative sample of the European Community public was without paid work. Basing cross-analyses on "occupation" (D.15A) would exclude half of the respondents from analysis. An alternative is to base analyses on (non-marxist) concept of "objective social class" using "occupation of the head of household" as reference. In order to classify as many respondents as possible with respect to their socio-professional setting, a new classification was created called "socio-professional status" of the main income earner (MIE).

The following standard was used if the respondent is the MIE: For those in paid work it is based on the respondents' own present occupation (D.15A). For those not in paid work, "former occupation" (D.15B) was used, if applicable. If the respondent is not the MIE, the occupation of the "person who contributes most to the household income" (D.21A) was used and if the head of household was not performing paid works at the time of the interview, his or her "former occupation" (D.21B) was used, if applicable.

Consequently, socio-professional status is a classification "that comes as close to the respondent himself/herself as possible" but that draws upon additional background information to the extent necessary and available, in order to avoid a single measure of interviewees' socio-professional setting and to include the maximum number of respondents in the respective analyses.
