FUNDING OF THE STUDY The 1984 Canadian National Election Study was funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (Grant No. 411-83-0006). STUDY DESCRIPTION The Canadian Federal Election was held on September 4, 1984 and in-home, face-to-face interviewing was conducted with a national sample during the period October 1984 to February 1985. Field work was conducted by Canadian Facts of Toronto, under the direction of the Principal Investigators. The Study Supervisor was Mary Auvinen of Canadian Facts. The Principal Investigators have augmented the interview data for each respondent with infor- mation about the socio-demographic and political characteristics of the constituency in which the respondent resides. These con- stituency variables are described at the end of the codebook (See VAR574-VAR644). Additional information about the study may be obtained from the Principal Investigators. SAMPLING INFORMATION AND WEIGHTING The sampling frame for the 1984 Canadian National Election Study was Canadian Facts' master probability sample which is outlined below. A. Universe Covered The universe for this survey was the population of Canada, aged 18 years and over, with the following exceptions: --The Northwest Territorities and Yukon. --Some inaccessible and sparsely populated areas in each province. --Inmates of institutions and inhabitants of lumber and mining camps. --Members of the armed forces not living at home. --Persons living on Indian reservations. The various groups excluded account for about 3% of people aged 18 and over. B. Selection Of Sample A four-stage sample selection procedure was employed. Stage I: Selection Of Localities All localities, except those in excluded areas, were stratified by locality size within geographic area. Geographic areas were defined as the ten provinces. Locality size consisted of five classifications: --Urban centres over 500,000 population. --Urban centres 100,000 to 500,000 population. --Urban centres 30,000 to 100,000 population. --Urban centres 10,000 to 30,000 population. --Rural and urban areas of 10,000 population or less. The strata were set up in such a manner as to group together all localities that were similar on the basis of the above criteria, that is, locality size, geographic area, and, in the case of rural areas, degree of urbanization. Using cumulative stratified population listings, 245 localities were selected as the master sample. All 245 localities were used for this study. Stage II: Selection Of Primary Sampling Units The primary sampling unit was the Enumeration Area (EA). Further stratification was employed within the localities for selection of the clusters or primary sampling units. EAs were randomly selected from a list of stratified EA populations with probability proportionate to their size. In large metropolitan areas, this is usually income within geographic quadrants. In rural areas, the stratification is basically geographical. At this stage, the number of primary sampling units to be visited in each locality was determined; for example, 16 in Toronto or 6 in London. Stage III: Selection Of Households Within Each EA Within each selected EA, a block was selected at random. For each block selected, the interviewer was supplied with a detailed map showing the block, the road segments contain ing the block and a starting point. Interviewers began at the designated starting point and followed a fixed procedure for selecting the assigned households at which to interview. In this study, 15 households were assigned to each block. Stage IV: Selection Of Individuals Within Households The Troldahl-Carter-Bryant procedure was used to select one qualifying member within each selected household. The selection was made from all qualifying members by use of form selection matrices rotated over the sample. Up to four trips were made in urban areas to interview the selected individual (three in rural areas). Additional trips were made in some cases. C. Participation Rates The following are the participation rates in the study for the nation as a whole, and for each province separately. These rates are based on all contacts with eligible respondents. Non-participants in the study, then, are those who refused to participate, or those who broke off an interview after it had begun. Region Rate of Number Participation Canada 59% (N = 5742) Newfoundland 61% (N = 219) P. E. I. 69% (N = 163) Nova Scotia 61% (N = 218) New Brunswick 78% (N = 175) Quebec 61% (N = 1282) Ontario 54% (N = 1799) Manitoba 58% (N = 436) Saskatchewan 52% (N = 487) Alberta 65% (N = 402) British Columbia 63% (N = 561) D. Weighting Procedures Three stages of weighting were applied to the data. Stage I As only one person was interviewed in a household, an individual's household weight was computed. Stage II To allow for better regional analysis, the sample selec- tion was disproportionate in favour of the less populated regions. A weight scheme was added to restore the sample to the correct overall regional proportions. At the same time, data were computed for an age within sex within region within community size matrix and compared with Statistics Canada data in the same format. Adjustment weighting was applied to bring the data in line with the most recent Statistics Canada information available. Therefore, the weight variable WTFACTOR (see record 13: col. 30-36) should be used to obtain a national sample. Stage III Each province was also given a separate provincial weight (see variable PROVWT). This is to be used only when analysing data for a province by itself. The provincial data using provincial weights cannot be added together for national- or regional-level analyses. The actual, nationally-weighted, and provincially-weighted sample sizes are given below.

This codebook is designed for use either with the SPSSX system file that was created by the Principal Investigators, or with the raw data file (also available from the Principal Investigators). The variable numbers used in this codebook are consistent with those defined on the SPSSX system file. Similarly, the card and column locations indicated for each variable are those of the raw data file. 2. The variables are presented in the codebook in a different order from that used in the questionnaire. Variables are presented in the order in which they were coded, so that some of the open-ended questions and their closed-ended complements are found toward the end of the codebook. To allow the user to reconstruct the order of presentation to the respondents, the INDEX OF VARIABLES, provided directly below, lists variables as they occur in the questionnaire. For this reason, note that the variable numbers in this INDEX are not always sequential. It should also be noted that there are 647 numbered variables in all (including VAR1031 and VAR1032 that appear between VAR103 and VAR104). 3. In addition to listing codes for variables, the codebook also provides the relative frequency distributions for most variables. Note that these relative frequencies are based on the nationally- weighted figures (N = 3380) rather than the unweighted data (N = 3377). Note also that the relative frequencies have been rounded to the nearest integer. As a consequence, an entry of "0" per cent does not necessarily mean that the code was unused, and the distributions reported here do not always sum to 100 per cent.
