All three were conducted by telephone, two were administered prior to the National election and one following the October 31st election date. The first study, conducted between June and July, 1972, focused on the respondents' opinions on the political parties, issues and personalities in federal politics. The issues that were assessed included inflation, constitutional reform, campaign spending, marijuana legislation, and the right of federal employees to strike. The respondents were also asked to assess the performance of the Prime Minister and also the qualifications of the main opposition candidates. Finally, the respondents were asked about their partisan affiliation and their voting behavior over the past few elections. The dataset included information on 1000 respondents (two cards of data per respondent). The only demographic information in this study is the sex of the respondent. The second study was conducted in September 1972 and assessed the respondents' opinions on political issues such as unemployment, Canadian/U.S. relations, environment, taxes, price controls, and certain federal programs. In addition, the respondents were questioned about their candidate preference, partisan identification, and party preference for the upcoming election. Basic demographic data were also included for the 1255 respondents (three cards of data per respondent.). The third study in this series was administered in early November. The respondents were asked to evaluate the federal election campaign, the candidates, parties and political issues. The respondents were also questioned about their voting behavior in both the federal and local elections. Two forms of questionnaires were used, one for voters and the other for non-voters. Demographic information was obtained for all respondents. The dataset contains information on approximately 1298 respondents (four cards of data per respondent). PROCESSING INFORMATION The data and documentation are distributed in the form received by the ICPSR from the original investigator, thus ICPSR can take no responsibility for the technical condition of the data or for the accuracy of the codebook. CODEBOOK INFORMATION The post-election study (november) contains three forms. The forms are designated by the letters A, B, and C. The applicable form letters are noted above the card and column notations. Caution should be used when referring to column locations. Different questions are coded in the same column location and must be filtered through card 1, column 2. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES ON THE TRANSLATION OF THE ORIGINAL DATA FILES AND CODEBOOKS INTO THIS ELECTRONIC VERSION: 1. For variables coded in 12 digit format the following assumptions were made: 11 = & = x and 12 = - = y = R = s When "R", assume "&" to indicate missing data. (see the Crosstabs of Columns 226 and 227 in the original data file for the June-July, 1972 study to support this) 2. Regarding comments about specific questions in the codebook: - Instructions given to the original coders "APPEAR IN QUOTATIONS IN BLOCK TYPE". - The full text of questions abbreviated in the electronic file "Appears in Quotations". - Notes regarding the translation of the original file into electronic form [APPEAR IN BLOCK TYPE AND IN SQUARE BRACKETS] 3. The order of the variables in the codebook is based on the order in which they were recorded on the original data cards. 4. Where the same question appears to have been repeated over several variables, it was assumed that these variables represent the first choice, second choice, third choice, etc of the respondent to the same question. 5. Where the data management programs used have had a limited allowance for variable labels and value labels, the full text of each is provided immediately after the variable label. The full text of the question (variable label) appears "in quotations", while those value labels which had been abbreviated are listed under the heading UNABREVIATED RESPONSE OPTIONS. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Pre-Election Study, June-July, 1972 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Market Opinion Research Job #2643 CANADIAN NATIONAL PHONE STUDY "Hello, I'm Mrs. ________from Market Opinion Research Company.
