Study Description 1.1 Introduction The 1993 Canadian Election Study included five surveys. The number of completed interviews and the data collection time period for each survey are detailed in Table 1.1. Three of the five surveys were completed just 1 -2- prior to and after the October 25th, 1993 Canadian election and two were completed at the time of the October 26th, 1992 Referendum on the Charlottetown Constitutional Accord. Telephone interviews were used for both referendum surveys and the first two election surveys. The final election survey, a mail-back questionnaire, was sent to respondents about two months after the election. The data set for the 1993 Canadian Election Study includes one or more interviews with 4,871 respondents. Over half of the 2,530 respondents to the first or pre-referendum survey completed all four telephone surveys and provided answers to over 500 survey items. Almost 90 percent of the respondents first interviewed as part of the campaign-period survey also participated in the post-election survey conducted in the six weeks following the election.

Random digit dialing (RDD) procedures were utilised to select households, and, within households, the birthday selection method was used to select respondents. A rolling cross sectional sample release was employed for both the pre-referendum and campaign-period surveys. All interviewing was completed from Toronto at the Institute's centralized telephone facilities using Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI) techniques. The Institute uses software from the Computer-Assisted Survey Methods Program (CSM) at the University of California, Berkeley. In the election surveys respondents were asked about their vote intentions, the attention they paid to the campaign, what parties/candidates (if any) contacted them during the campaign; their knowledge and rating of the parties and leaders, and what characteristics they would ascribe to the party leaders; and their position, as well as their reading of the main parties' positions, on several policy issues (efforts on behalf of minorities, women, and natives, free trade, the deficit, the GST, etc.). The mail-back questionnaire dealt primarily with broader political issues and values including questions about respondents' confidence in institutions, the distribution of power between different groups in society, and questions about individual rights and goals of society. The questionnaires used in the referendum surveys included items measuring respondents' interest in the referendum; their vote intention, prediction of the outcome of the vote, and reaction to the results of the vote; their knowledge about, and opinions of, some of the specific provisions of the Accord (senate reform, recognition of Quebec as a distinct society, etc.); 1 -3- their awareness of the stand taken by political leaders, groups and organizations; and questions about their demographic circumstances (age, education, income, etc.). (Copies of the five questionnaires are provided under separate cover. Much of the CATI programming language has been omitted, but an explanation of all CATI experiments is included in the questionnaire and in the fourth section of this technical documentation.) Details of the sample design, data collection methods, and data set creation are outlined in the remainder of this technical document. 2. Sample Design 2.1 Introduction The sample for the Canadian Election Study (CES) was designed to represent the adult population of Canada (Canadian citizens 18 years of age or older who speak one of Canada's official languages, English or French, and reside in private homes (residents of old age homes, group homes, educational and penal institutions were excluded from the sample) in the ten Canadian provinces). Because the mode of data collection for the survey was telephone, the small proportion of households in Canada without telephones were excluded from the sample population. (Using their Household Income, Facilities and Equipment (HIFE) surveys, Statistics Canada estimates that two percent of the private households in Canada do not have a telephone (Ottawa. 1991)) 2.2 Sample Components and Re-interview Rates There are two sample components in the 1993 campaign-period survey. The first is the panel component. It includes respondents who completed the referendum surveys. The second is the RDD component. It includes respondents selected using random digit dialing (RDD) methodology, who were first interviewed in the campaign-period survey. The post-election and mail-back surveys were completed only with respondents who had completed the campaign-period survey. However, because not every respondent completed the post-election and mail-back surveys, the sample size decreases on each subsequent survey wave. The disposition of the two - panel and RDD - sample components, for the five surveys comprising the Canadian Election Study is depicted in Figure 2.1. The panel component started with 2,530 respondents in the pre-referendum survey and 2,223 of these respondents completed the post-referendum survey - a re-interview rate of 88 percent. About a year after completing the pre-referendum survey, an attempt was made to interview the 2,223 post-referendum respondents as part of the 1993 campaign-period survey. Interviews were completed with 1,434 post-referendum respondents - a re-interview rate of 65 percent. The re-interview rates for the post-election and mail-back surveys, the panel component of the sample, were 91 percent (1,312 respondents) and 68 percent (887 respondents) respectively. The re-interview rates for the 2,341 respondents in the RDD sample component were marginally lower. Eighty-seven percent (or 2,028 respondents in the RDD sample component) completed the post-election survey and 65 percent (or 1,322 respondents to 1 -4- the post-election survey) completed the mail-back survey. The largest decrease in the re-interview rate was for the mail-back survey. Almost 90 percent of the 3,775 CPS respondents completed the PES, and 66 percent of the PES respondents completed the mail-back survey. The data set has been constructed to facilitate use of each of the five surveys and for working with various subsets of respondents who completed two or more surveys (see Section 4 of this documentation). 2.3 Daily Sample Distribution: The Use of a Rolling Cross Section Sample Release in the Campaign-Period and Pre-Referendum Surveys The importance of campaign dynamics in understanding election results has been documented by a number of researchers (Johnston, Blais, Brady and Crete, 1992; Bartels, 1988; and Brady and Johnston, 1987). By interviewing a cross section of Canadians each day (and including date of interview as a variable in the data set), it is possible to determine the impact of events during a campaign. Using data from the election survey, the analyst can determine if support for specific policy issues, predictions of the results of the election, or ratings of party leaders varied, or remained constant, over the course of the federal election campaign. Similarly, analysts can determine if attitudes towards specific provisions of the Charlottetown Accord, such as support for redefinition of the Senate, varied or stayed constant during the month leading up to the referendum vote. Also, utilization of a rolling cross section sample release facilitates division of the campaign period and pre-referendum data sets into temporal components. Analysts can divide the campaign-period data into before and after the leaders' debate, or before and after the initiation of television commercials in the election campaign. Of course, the referendum data set can also be divided into two or more temporal components. For example, before and after former Prime Minister Trudeau made his comments about the Charlottetown Accord, or before and after the television debate in Quebec between Premier Bourassa and the leader of the opposition, Jacques Parizeau. It is critical to any analysis which includes date of interview as a continuous or contingent variable, that the sociodemographic characteristics of the survey respondents do not systematically vary over time. Because easy-to-reach respondents (people who are more often home and willing to do the interview when first contacted) have different characteristics than hard-to-reach respondents (Groves, 1989; Hawkins, 1975; and Dunkleberg and Day, 1973), it is important that each day of interviewing include a mix of easy and hard-to-reach people. Assume, for example, that educational achievement is found to covary with attitudes about a specific policy issue such as support for the Conservative Party's stand on purchasing helicopters. If most of the interviews at the beginning of data collection were completed with respondents with lower levels of education (and if they were less supportive of the purchase of helicopters), and if most of the interviews 1 -5- at the end of data collection were completed with respondents with high levels of education (and they were more supportive), it would be possible to mistake a change in respondent characteristics for a change in attitudes. Support for the purchase of helicopters would have appeared to have increased; but, in fact, the change would be accounted for by a change in the characteristics of the sample from the beginning to the end of data collection. As much as possible it is important for each day of interviewing to be an independent sample of the population of interest. The sample for the campaign-period survey was divided equally into 45 days. The ratio of panel and RDD sample components was the same for each day of sample release. Approximately 60 percent of the completions for each day of the CPS were from the RDD sample and the remaining 40 percent were from the panel sample. After two or three days of data collection, interviews were being completed with both new and previously-released sample, ensuring a mix of easy and hard-to-reach respondents (as well as a mix of panel and RDD respondents). Each day's sample remained active for 12 days (excepting sample released near the end of data collection) and each number was called at least twice in the first four days of release and once on each subsequent day. Attempts were made to convert refusals on the last three days that the sample was active. On average, 84 completions were completed each day of the CPS. The daily variation in the number of completed interviews is expected given the small sample for any one day. However, as seen in Figure 2.2, this variation is less pronounced when the number of completed interviews is averaged over a five day period. The increased number of completed interviews on the last day of calling reflects the fact that respondents did not have the option of being called on another day. Given the immediacy of the election many decided to complete the interview, where as earlier in the data collection, they could have delayed the interview for a day or two. The rolling cross sectional sample for the pre-referendum survey was divided among 32 days. The average number of interviews completed on each day was 79. The pattern of calls was the same as used in the campaign-period survey. The daily variation in the number of completed interviews is depicted in Figure 2.3. Every day of sample release, for both the CPS and REF, was, within provinces, divided into seven "sample replicates." Each sample replicate was a random sample of the day's release. Because response to the survey varied by the day of the week (Friday evenings were often least productive while Sunday afternoons were often most productive), and the sample size for any one day was small, there was some modification to the number of replicates released to ensure the number of completions was close to the desired daily goal. 2.4 Selection of Households The same sampling procedures were used to select the campaign-period and pre-referendum survey respondents. A two stage probability selection process was utilized. The first stage involved the selection of households by randomly selecting residential telephone numbers. The ideal sampling 1 -6- frame for the campaign-period (and pre-referendum survey) would have been a complete listing of all residential telephone numbers in Canada. Unfortunately, such a listing does not exist and telephone books are not an acceptable surrogate as unlisted numbers (not published in the telephone book by the owner's choice) and numbers for people who have recently moved are not included. Sampling from telephone books would systematically exclude these people from the sample. People who do not have their name in the telephone book are not a random subset of the population (Tremblay, 1982). As a result, ISR employs random digit dialing (RDD) methodology for selecting the telephone numbers. Use of 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 an area code, a central office code or exchange (the first three digits of the telephone number), and a suffix or bank (the last four digits of a telephone number). A list of all possible numbers in Canada can be constructed by referring to all telephone books in the country to determine which area code/exchange/bank combinations are in use. For example, once at least one valid telephone number is found in the directory within an area code/exchange/bank combination, e.g., (416) 731-1010, then all numbers from 731-1000 to 731-1999, within the specific area code, are included in the list of all possible telephone numbers. A computer is then used to generate a random sample of telephone numbers from this listing. As a result, RDD samples include "not-in-service" and "non-residential" telephone numbers as well as household numbers (including unlisted household numbers). Typically, these non-productive numbers are identified the first time the interviewer calls and most of the interviewer's subsequent efforts are then directed at encouraging respondents to participate in, and then complete, the interview. 2.5 Selection of Respondents The second stage of the sample selection process was the random selection of a respondent. That is, the adult (18 years of age or older) household member, who was a Canadian citizen, and who had the next birthday. (A discussion of the use of the birthday method of selecting respondents can be found in O'Rourke and Blair, 1983.) The birthday selection method is used as it ensures a random selection of respondents as well as equal probabilities of selection, and it is a much less intrusive way to start an interview than more traditional methods that require a listing of household residents. The less intrusive start makes it easier for the interviewer to secure the respondent's cooperation. 2.6 Household Weights 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 household with only one adult, that adult has a 100 percent chance of selection; in a three-adult household each adult has only a 33 percent chance of selection). As a result, it is possible that analysis based on unweighted estimates are biased, as one adult households are over-represented in the sample. Most practitioners of survey research 1 -7- "weight the data" in order 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.). [Weighting to correct for unequal probabilities of selection, stratification, and other factors in order to improve sample estimates is common in survey research. See, for example: Lessler and Kalsbeek, 1992 Chapter 8; Kalton, 1983 Chapter 10; and Babbie, 1992 Chapter 5. Kish, 1965 specifically addresses the issue of weighting to correct for unequal probability of selection at the household level (p.400) and suggests, unlike most survey researchers. that household weighting may not be necessary.] Conventionally, users of survey data wish to have the same number of observations in the weighted and unweighted data set. This adjustment is made, by determining the number of cases in each household size category that would have been in the sample, if an interview had been completed with each adult member of the household, and then dividing the sample among each household size category according to the proportion of interviews completed in each household size category. The calculation of the household weights for the campaign period survey is illustrated in Table 2.1. Table 2.1. Campaign-Period Survey: Calculation of Household Weights Weighted HH Size No. of HH's Cases Adjustment Weight Check 1 adult 1,011 1,011 511.39 0.506 511.39 2 adults 2,115 4,230 2,139.66 1.012 2,139.66 3 adults 449 1,347 681.35 1.517 681.35 4 adults 144 576 291.36 2.023 291.36 5 adults 44 220 111.28 2.529 111.28 6 adults 9 54 27.31 3.035 27.31 7 adults 1 7 3.54 3.541 3.54 8 adults 1 8 4.05 4.047 4.05 10 adults 1 10 5.06 5.058 5.06 Totals 3,775 7,463 3,775.00 3,775.00 In the campaign-period survey there are 3,775 households in the sample and 1,011 are one-adult households, 2,115 are two-adult households, and 449 are three-adult households, etc. (see variable CPSADULT). The weights for each household are calculated as follows. First, the total number of weighted cases is calculated (number of cases times the number of adults in the household). For three-adult households the calculation is: 449 times 3 which gives 1,347 three-adult households in the weighted sample. In the campaign-period survey there are 7,463 weighted cases. Second, the 7,463 weighted cases are adjusted down to the original sample size of 3,775 (calculated as weighted cases for each household size divided by the weighted sample size times the original sample size). For three-adult households the calculation is: (1,347/7,463) X 3,775 = 681.35. Third, the weight for each household size is calculated (for each household size, the adjustment to original sample size/number of cases). For three-adult households the calculation is: 681.35/449 = 1.517. Finally, as a check for each household size, we can multiply the weight times the number of cases (for three-adult households this is 1.517 times 449 = 681.35) and sum the 1 -8- results to ensure that the weighted sample size approximates the number of cases. Weights have also been calculated, using the same procedures, for the pre-referendum survey. 2.7 Provincial sample Distribution and National Weights For purposes of sample design the country was divided into five "regions": 1, the East (Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick); 2, Quebec; 3, Ontario; 4, the Midwest (Manitoba and Saskatchewan); and, 5, the West (Alberta and British Columbia). This design facilitates comparison between the five regions as well as the calculation of national estimates. A minimum of 400 interviews were allocated to each region, with a larger allocation of sample going to the larger regions/provinces (Table 2.2). The sample was distributed equally among the provinces when there was more than one province in the region. For example, the 400 cases in the Atlantic region were equally distributed among the provinces of Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Because the sample distribution is not proportional to the population of the province, the data must be weighted by province before national estimates are derived. The calculation of the weights to facilitate national estimates is provided in Table 2.2. The weights are calculated by dividing the province's proportion of the total number of households in Canada by the province's proportion of the households in the sample. For Quebec (.949) and British Columbia (.996) the weight is close to "one." In these provinces the proportion of households in the sample is close to their proportion in the population. In Ontario the weight is greater than one as the province has 36 percent of Canada's households, but only 25 percent of the sample. Each Ontario case is "weighted up" so that the impact of the Ontario sample on national estimates is a reflection of Ontario's proportion of the number of households in Canada. Conversely, for provinces where the weights are considerably less than "one," for example Newfoundland (.629) and PEI (.160), the proportion of the sample allocated to the province was greater than that province's proportion of the population and each case is therefore "weighted down."

Dwellings and Households: The Nation. Ministry of Industry, Science and Technology, Catalogue No. 93-111, pp 78-89. Weights, that include a correction factor for both the unequal probabilities of selection at the household and provincial level, have been added to the data set to facilitate the production of national estimates. In addition, to facilitate comparisons between Quebec and the remaining nine Canadian provinces, weights have been calculated for Canada without Quebec. Although the weights are provided as part of the CES data set, users must specify the weights they wish to use in the appropriate programming language before analyzing the data. Users are advised to use CPSNWGT1 (campaign-period national weight 1) when national estimates are required. See Table 2.3 for an explanation of the weights included in the CPS data set. When comparing Quebec to the other nine provinces, the Quebec proportion of the sample should be adjusted using CPSHHWGT (the campaign-period household weight) and CPSNWGT2 (campaign-period national weight 2) should be used for the other nine provinces. (The household weights have been calculated using the household size information for the complete sample. Calculations of the household weight variable for Quebec only, or for Canada without Quebec, indicate that the household weight variable need not be recomputed for each sample component. The distribution of the population by household size is approximately the same in Quebec as it is in the other nine provinces.) If weights are not invoked the tabulations produced will be for unweighted data. Table 2.3. Explanation of Weights: Campaign-Period Data Set CPSHHWGT Campaign-Period Household this weight corrects for unequal Weight probability of selection at the household level CPSPWGT1 Campaign-Period Provincial the first provincial weight corrects Weight Number 1 for unequal probability of selection at the provincial level for all ten Canadian Provinces CPSPWGT2 Campaign-Period Provincial the second provincial weight Weight Number 2 corrects for unequal probability of selection at the provincial level after the Province of Ouebec has been excluded from the sample. CPSNWGT1 Campaign-Period National the first national weight combines Weight Number 1 the household weight and province weight for all ten Canadian Provinces CPSNWGT2 Campaign-Period National the second national weight Weight Number 2 combines the household weight and province weight after the Province of Quebec has been excluded from the sample Separate weights were not prepared for the PES and MBS data sets. The re-interview rates are reasonably high and sample attrition between the 1 -10- surveys was not associated with household size or province and, as a result, it is reasonable to use the CPS weights. However, there are separate weights for the pre-referendum survey. Importantly, in the pre- (and post-) referendum survey, a relatively large proportion of the sample (almost 40 percent) was allocated to Quebec. As a result, the provincial weights for the pre-referendum survey are quite different than weights based upon the sample disposition for the campaign-period survey. When using the pre- or post-referendum survey data, the pre-referendum weights should be used. The weights for the pre-referendum survey use the same naming conventions as those used in the campaign-period survey (REFHHWGT replaces CPSHHWGT, REFPWGT1 replaces CPSPWGT1, etc.). Finally, because the weights include fractions that are rounded and missing values vary by item, there may be minor variation in the number of cases for different analytical procedures and subsets of the data. 2.8 Post-Election and Mail-Back Samples The sample for the post-election survey included respondents from the CPS (both panel and RDD sample components). At the end of the CPS, interviewers ensured that they had a first name or some other identifier (such as the respondent's initials or position in the household, e.g., mother). This information, as well as the sex and year of birth of the CPS respondent, and the respondent's telephone number, was recorded on a "cover sheet." At the start of the PES, the cover sheets were put into a random order (shuffled) so that the time of the first call for the PES was not related to the date of interview, or the day of sample release during the CPS. At the end of the post-election survey, respondents were asked to provide their address so they could be sent the mail-back survey. Some respondents were not willing to provide an address, but mailing information was provided by 90 percent of the PES respondents. 2.9 Pre- and Post-Referendum Samples The sample for the pre-referendum survey was constructed using the RDD techniques described above for the campaign-period survey. However, a larger proportion of the sample for the REF survey was allocated to Quebec. In the REF survey, almost 40 percent of the sample was allocated to Quebec, but in the CPS this proportion was 26 percent. The proportion of the sample in the other regions/provinces was 2 to 3 percent lower in the REF than it was in the CPS. The sample for the post-referendum survey included all respondents to the pre-referendum survey. 3. Data Collection 3.1 Introduction A description of the data collection procedures is outlined in this section of the technical documentation. Interviewing for all four telephone surveys was completed from ISR's centralized CATI (Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing) facilities. Each supervisory station is 1 -11- equipped with a video display terminal that reproduces an image of the interviewer's screen and a ROLM CBX telephone communications system. This allows supervisors to monitor (listen to) interviewers' calls and visually verify that the interviewer has recorded the respondent's answer correctly. 3.2 Data Collection Procedures: Telephone Surveys In order to maximize the chances of getting a completed interview from each sample number, call attempts were made during the day and the evening - for both week and weekend days. Typically, between two and four call attempts were made each day during the first four days that a sample was released. Although over half of the interviews completed in the CPS took three or fewer call attempts, 10 percent of the completed interviews required ten or more calls (Table 3.1). Given the short time that each daily sample was available for calling (12 days), it was important to follow up all possible leads, and as a result, a small number of interviews were completed only after as many as twenty calls were made. Not surprisingly, fewer calls were required per completed interview in the PES. Because the PES did not employ a rolling cross section, and there were no constraints on the number of interviews required per day, it was possible to manage the flow of the sample to interviewers so that most of the calling was completed during the most productive interviewing times. In addition, the respondent knew that an interviewer would be calling back after the election and was expecting the call. The pattern and number of calls required to complete the pre- and post-referendum surveys is similar to that of the campaign-period and post-election surveys. More calls were required for the rolling cross section sample release (pre-referendum) and fewer calls were required for the re-interview after the vote (post-referendum). Households who refused to participate in the campaign-period survey were contacted a second time and 12.2 percent of the first refusals (220 or 5.4 percent of all CPS interviews) completed the interview on the second or subsequent contact after the initial refusal. (The variable "CPSREFUS" identifies whether the interview was a "standard" completion or a "converted" refusal.) The limited time that each day's sample was available for calling (as required for the rolling cross section) resulted in a refusal conversion rate considerably lower than the 18 to 23 percent typically achieved in ISR studies (Northrup, 1993, pages 13-14; and Northrup and Oram, 1991, pages 6-7). In comparison to the CPS, refusal conversion attempts were almost three times more successful in the PES. While the 70 converted refusals in the PES represent only 1.9 percent of the PES interviews, they account for 24 percent of the initial refusals in the PES survey. The refusal conversion results for the pre- and post-referendum surveys were similar to the CPS and PES. Ten and one half percent of the refusals were converted in the REF (4.3 percent of all REF interviews). In the post-referendum survey, there were 69 converted refusals which accounted 1 -12- for only 3.1 percent of the PR interviews, but 28 percent of the initial refusals. The careful attention to the number and timing of callbacks and refusal conversions is designed to increase the response rate, thereby improving sample representativeness. Many researchers have found that respondents who are "hard-to-reach" and those who "refused" have characteristics that are somewhat different from typical survey responders (Dunkelberg and Day, 1973; Fitzgerald and Fuller, 1982; and McDonald, 1979). Whether the respondent refused during the initial contact, 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. 3.3 Response Rate: Campaign-Period Survey There are numerous ways to calculate response rates in survey research (Groves, 1989; Groves and Lyberg, 1988; Wiseman and Billington, 1984; Frey, 1983; and Dillman, 1978). The method used in this project was conservative; most other ways of calculating the response rate would produce higher rates. The response rate was defined as the number of completed interviews divided by the estimated number of eligible households times 100 percent. A response rate of 63.5 percent was obtained for the campaign-period survey. This rate is the weighted average of the 58 percent obtained in the RDD sample component and the 75 percent obtained in the panel sample component. The response rate for the RDD sample component approximates the rate (57 percent) obtained in the campaign-period survey of the 1988 Canadian Election Study. For purposes of providing details on the calculation of the response rate for the CPS, the RDD and panel components are combined. Of the 10,384 telephone numbers in the sample, 5,693 were determined to be eligible households (Table 3.2). Ineligible households/telephone listings counted for 4,247 of the total sample. (Examples of ineligible numbers include: households where the selected respondent was unable to speak either English or French, was not a Canadian citizen, was not healthy enough to complete the interview, could not be located at the number where they completed the post-referendum survey, and non-residential numbers). Even after repeated call attempts it was not possible to determine the eligibility status for 444 of the numbers included in the sample. For response rate calculations, it was assumed that the proportion of these 444 numbers, which were household numbers, was the same as it was in the rest of the sample. This proportion is called the "household eligibility rate." The household eligibility rate was .573 (eligible households [5,693]/(eligible households [5,693] + not eligible households and listings [4,247]) = .573). The estimated total number of eligibles was then computed as 5,947 (5,693 + [.573 x 444]). Dividing the number of completions (3,775) by the estimated number of eligibles (5,947) gives a 1 -13- final response rate of 63.5 percent. Variation in the response rate for each day of sample release was limited. As indicated above in Figure 2.2, the number of completed interviews obtained on Thanksgiving Day was considerably less than the average number of completed interviews per day. However, the number of completions was somewhat higher in the days after Thanksgiving and by the end of the 12 day calling period the response rate for the sample released on Thanksgiving was about the same as the other days' sample release. However, the response rate for the sample released in the last few days before the election was lower than sample released earlier in the data collection period as the number of days available for calling was truncated. This is particularly true of the last two to three days' sample release which could be called only on two or three different days rather than the usual twelve days. The response rate for the CPS survey, excluding the last two days of sample release, was 66 percent. Table 3.2. Final Sample Disposition: Campaign-Period Survey Category Number Subtotal Percent Subtotal Eligible Households Completions 3,775 37 Refusals and Callbacks (NB) 1,918 18 Subtotal Eligible Households 5,693 55 Ineligible Households/Telephone Listings Ill/Aged/Lang Problem/Absent 322 3 Not a Canadian Citizen/Not 18 199 2 Not Traceable 118 1 Not in Service 1260 12 Not a Household Number 2348 23 Subtotal Ineligible 4,247 41 Eligibility Not Determined 444 444 4 4 Total All Numbers 10,384 10,384 100 100 - NB - Selected respondent not available when interviewer called (after multiple calls to the household) Regional variation in the response rate was pronounced, with Quebec having the lowest rate (57 percent) and Newfoundland and Nova Scotia (75 and 74 percent respectively) having the highest rates (Table 3.3). The response rate for Canada without Quebec was 67 percent. The variation in response by province parallels the results of the 1988 Canadian Election Study and other surveys conducted at ISR (Bryant, Gold, Northrup and Stevenson, 1990). As found by American researchers, regions with lower proportions of their population living in major urban areas (such as Atlantic Canada) have higher response rates and regions with a higher proportion of their population in major urban areas (like Ontario and Quebec) have lower response rates (Steech, 1981). All first call attempts to Quebec were made in French by bilingual interviewers. Given the survey topic, calling from Toronto rather than from Quebec may account for some of the difference in response rate 1 -14- between Quebec and Ontario. 3.4 Re-Interview Rate: Post-Election Survey The post-election re-interview rate is 88 percent. Interestingly, the lower response rate for Quebec in the CPS is not duplicated in the re-interview rates (Table 3.3). The 12 percent non-response by CPS respondents to the PES was primarily accounted for by refusals and callbacks (eight percent). The remaining four percent of the non-response was accounted for by illness/death of CPS respondents, by never answered telephones, and by changes in telephone numbers (PES respondents had their number changed and the new number was unlisted; the number was changed and the new number listed by the telephone company reached the wrong household; respondent left the household and those remaining in the household either could not or would not provide a new number) or by misdiallings in the CPS. (Interviewers are routed, via CATI, to a screen that requests that they verify the telephone number before they proceed to complete the interview; however, given the large volume of calls, some error in dialling is expected and the respondent may not have listened carefully enough to the interviewer when the interviewer asked if they had correctly dialled the number, e.g., 735-5335 rather than 753-5335). 3.5 Response and Re-Interview Rates in the Pre- and Post-Referendum Surveys Using the same method as detailed for the CPS, the response rate to the pre-referendum survey was 65 percent. Also, as was the case in the CPS survey, the response rate was lowest in Quebec and highest in the Atlantic region (Table 3.4). The response rate to the REF survey, after excluding the Quebec sample, was 71 percent. At 88 percent, the post-referendum re-interview rate was the same as that obtained in the post-election survey. And, as was the case in the PES, the re-interview rate for Quebec was about the same as it was for the country as a whole. 3.6 Data Collection Procedures: Mail-Back Survey At the end of the PES, respondents were asked if they would be willing to provide an address so that a mail-back questionnaire could be sent to them. Ninety percent of the respondents to the PES provided mailing addresses. All of these 3,025 respondents received the first two mail contacts. The first contact included the questionnaire, a covering letter, and a postage paid pre-addressed return envelope. The second was a reminder/thank you card (physically like an over-sized post card). The first and second mail contacts were sent during the first two weeks of December 1993. Most of the response from these mailings arrived at the Institute by the end of January 1994, at which time a second questionnaire (covering letter and return envelope) was sent only to non-responders. One week later a second reminder card was sent. Finally, during the first week of March 1994, telephone calls were made to all nonresponders. In total, 73 percent of the respondents who provided addresses (or 66 percent of all PES respondents) completed the mail-back survey. 4. Data Processing 4.1 Introduction 1 -15- This section of the technical documentation provides information about the construction of the data set. A brief description is given of the variables, question order and question wording randomization, the coding of open-ended items and the linking of the five data sets. A map of the variables (name and label) is provided. Note that all variables in the pre-referendum survey include the prefix "REF," and variables in the post-referendum survey include the prefix "PR." The prefixes "CPS," "PES," and "MBS" indicate the variable is from the campaign-period, post-election, and mail-back survey (respectively). The procedure for isolating the survey component of interest to the analysis is documented first. 4.2 Use of the "RTYPE" Variables to Identify Data Sub-Sets Questions were survey specific. A frequency tabulation (marginal) for an item from the mailback survey will include valid cases only for the 2,209 respondents who completed the MBS. A "missing case code" will be assigned to the 2,662 respondents who were part of the Canadian Election Survey but did not complete the MBS. (The 2,209 "valid cases" plus the 2,662 "missing cases" represent the complete sample of 4,871 respondents.) An alternative to including the missing cases is to specify that only a subset of the data is to be used in the analysis. A series of "RTYPE" variables has been created. The variable RTYPE5 for example, identifies respondents to the mail-back survey. Similarly, if there was an interest in examining those respondents who completed all five surveys, the analyst would use RTYPE6 as it identifies those 887 respondents. (The 887 respondents have a value of " 1 " for the variable RTYPE6 and there are 3,984 missing cases the sum of these two numbers is, of course, 4,871 - the total sample size for the survey). A list of the RTYPE variables, and the composition of the group identified in each RTYPE variable, is detailed in Table 4.1. 4.3 Randomization of Question and Response Order The logical operators resident in CATI were used to randomize the order in which respondents received sections of the questionnaire, or, within sections, the order in which they received particular items. Prior to the start of the telephone interview, CATI was used to assign values to a series of random numbers. For example, random number I had, in equal proportions, a value of " 1 " or "2." As the interviewer recorded answers, they would activate the CATI logic which in turn would determine the sequence of the questions by referring to the value of random number 1. Given that order effects have been identified in surveys, but are not always easy to predict (Schuman and Presser, 1981), the order randomization was designed primarily as a precautionary measure to determine what impact, if any, question order had on response. ..........................................................................

CATI was also used to vary the wording of several key questions in both the election and referendum questionnaires. 4.41 Wording Experiments in the Campaign-Period Questionnaire A: Promoting the French Language\Promoting Quebec (CPSF1A/CPSRN1) B: Taxes: The GST or a Tax like the GST (CPSG4 /CPSRN5) C: Higher Taxes and Social Programs (CPSL6B/CPSRN6) D: Paying a Fee for Health Care (CPSL11A/CPSL11B/CPSRN3/CPSRN4/CPSRN9) 4.42 Wording Experiments in the Pre- and Post-Referendum Questionnaires (There were no question wording experiments in the post-election questionnaire.) A: Referendum Vote Intentions (REFC2C/REFRN2 ) B: Guarantees of Senate Seats (REFE6 to REFE8/REFRN14) C: Provision to Guarantee Quebec One Quarter of the Seats in the Senate (REFE11/REFRN3 ) D: Quebec Sovereignty Item (REFF11/REFRN5 ) 4.5 Coding of Open-Ended Questions and "Other Specify" 4.51 Campaign-Period and Post-Election Questionnaires The first question in both the campaign-period and post-election interviews was open-ended and asked respondents to identify the issue which was most important to them personally in the (upcoming) election. Almost all respondents provided a single response. If a respondent provided more than one response that could not be coded into a single category, the first response was coded (unless it was not codeable and then the second response was used). The same set of codes (listed under the variables CPSA1 and PESA1) was used to code both the CPS and PES responses. Note that the codes are designed to facilitate easy recoding into a smaller set of broader categories. Respondents were asked about the unemployment rate, the inflation rate and the deficit (items CPSH4, CPSH5, and CPSH6 respectively). Answers to these open-ended questions were recorded in percentage terms (unemployment and inflation) or in billions of dollars (the deficit). A small percentage of respondents gave a number rather than a percent when asked about unemployment (e.g., 1.2 million Canadians). Using figures from Statistics Canada these responses were converted to percentage terms. When a respondent gave a range the average figure was coded. (For example, if someone answers that unemployment was between 11 and 12 percent, their response was coded as 11.5.) For all three questions a small set of codes were developed to accommodate non-numerical responses such as "higher than it has been in many years." Responses to the open-ended question asking about Kim Campbell's cabinet job before she became Prime Minster were coded into nine categories: 01 = defence (includes DND {department of national defence}, head of armed 1 -18- forces, armed forces, military, etc.); 02 = justice (includes attorney general, law ministry, etc.); 03 = finance; 04 = external affairs (includes foreign affairs); 05 = other federal ministry; 06 = MP (was just an ordinary member of parliament); 07 = municipal politician; 08 = lawyer/judge; and 09 = other responses and not codeable responses. A number of questions, primarily in the sociodemographics (of both the campaign-period and pre-referendum questionnaires) allowed the interviewer to "write in" responses other than those precoded in the questionnaire. Questions that allowed for an "other" answer are identified by having an "other specify" listed in the response options for the question. (See, for example, CPSO9A, religious affiliation, which listed seven Protestant denominations as well as an "other specify" category.) All of the other specify responses were reviewed. Most often, the responses were recoded into existing precodes; on occasion, new response categories were added. 4.52 Pre- and Post-Referendum Questionnaires Note: The open-ended responses were not coded for REFD18, the item asking about "who participated in the referendum debate." There was more than one debate and less than 2 respondents answered the item. As a result, any coding would result in categories with very small percentages of the sample. The only open-ended question asked of all respondents was in the PR survey. Item PRA2 asked: "What proposals do you remember the media and politicians talking about before the referendum vote?" The open-ended response was coded to provide two types of information: first, a measure of the respondent's knowledge of the proposals in the Accord; and second, identification of proposals most often mentioned by Canadians. The respondent's knowledge about the proposals was scored from "O" (no correct proposals mentioned and therefore "O" on the knowledge scale) to "3" (mentioned three correct proposals) and stored in the variable PRA2A. Variables PRA2B to PRA2I indicate whether or not the respondent mentioned 8 specific proposals ("1" = mentioned and "O" = not mentioned). The specific proposals included: PRA2B: Aboriginal People PRA2C: Senate PRA2D: Distinct Society PRA2E: Distribution of Seats (including 25% clause) PRA2F: Quebec/French issues PRA2G: Women's issues PRA2H: Veto/unanimity proposal PRA2I: Distribution of powers between federal and provincial governments The post-referendum survey contained a second open-ended question (PRB4C), but it was only asked of a subset (376) of the respondents. Respondents who indicated in previous questions that they had "changed their mind about how they were going to vote" during the referendum were asked to explain "what made them change their mind." Most of the responses were a 1 -19- version of "I got more information about the Accord during the referendum campaign." However, in an effort to maximize the utility of the responses, a finely graded list of 43 categories is coded in the data set. The small number of responses in each category (no one category counts for more than 10 percent of the responses) and the considerable overlap in many of the categories argues for collapsing of the categories before analysis. 4.6 Response Time Measurements Recent research has explored the relationship between the length of time it takes a respondent to answer a question and how firmly committed they are to their answer (Bassili, 1993; and Bassili and Fletcher, 1991). The questionnaire was programmed, using the clock resident in the CATI system, to measure how long it took respondents to answer a number of questions. The length of time, in hundredths of a second, was stored in a separate variable. 4.7 Linking the Data Sets Considerable effort was made to ensure, within each household, that the same person completed each survey. For example, in the post-election survey, interviewers were provided with the first name, initial, or other identifier (mother, only male in household, etc.) of the respondent who completed the campaign-period survey as well as their sex and year of birth. The same procedures were used between the pre- and post-referendum surveys, and between the post-referendum and campaign period survey. However, in comparing the name (or identifier), sex, and year of birth for respondents across the surveys, it is possible to isolate cases where there are differences in sex, age, or name (identifier). Each case in the Canadian Election Study was classified (in the variable RLINK) as being a "goodlink" - including respondents who only completed the CPS - (96 percent), "probably a goodlink" (2.6 percent), "probably a badlink" (0.8 percent), or "mailback badlink" (0.6 percent). The following conventions were used in the classification: i. When the name (or identifier), age, and sex were the same in all five surveys the case was classified as a "goodlink." ii. When the name was different, or there was change in sex, the case was coded as a "probable badlink." iii. When the age was different the case was coded as a "badlink", with the exception noted in point iv. iv. When age was different but there was the possibility of an interviewer entry error (for example, year of birth was recorded as 1945 in the first survey and 1954 in the second survey) and there was strong supporting evidence that the same person was interviewed (for example, there was only one male adult in the household who had the correct name), the case was classified as a "probable goodlink". v. When the linking problems were specific to the mail-back survey, the case was classified as a "mailback badlink." Analysts who are working with the data may wish to consider dropping the "probable badlink" cases from the data set. Elimination of bad link cases will result in slightly smaller sample sizes than indicated in Table 4.1. 1 -20- 4.9 Occupational Classification All respondents were asked to describe their current or last occupation. Respondents in the panel sample component were asked their occupation in the pre-referendum survey (REFN4) and respondents from the RDD sample component were asked their occupation in the campaign-period survey (CPSJOB4). Respondents who, when asked their employment status (item REFN3 in the pre-referendum and item CPSJOB1 in the campaign-period), described themselves as disabled, a student, or a homemaker were asked about the occupation of the main wage earner. The description of their occupation, recorded as open-ended text by the interviewer, was coded into a 4-digit occupation category using Statistics Canada's "Standard Occupational Classification, 1980." For example respondents who described their occupation as a high school teacher were assigned a code of 2733. The codebook for the 1980 occupation classifications is contained in this 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 Census. The development of the scale is reported in Blishen, Carroll and 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 "REFBLISH" and "CPSBLISH" and are identical to those shown in the detailed codebook. The Pineo/Porter/McRoberts scores are contained in the variable "REFPINPR" and "CPSPINPR." The full set of SPSSX recode statements used to create these two indices is available from the Institute on request. Number of logical records : 4871 Number of phisical records : 4871 1 -21- 1.

QUESTION ORDERING VARIABLE : REFRN2 TYPE : Nominal RECORD : 1 COLUMN : 35 Universe: System-generated for all Pre-referendum respondents There were two versions of the referendum vote intention question (REFC2C and REFC2F). In the first version of the question, respondents were read the actual wording of the question on the ballot (when REFRN2 was 1) before being asked how they planned to vote. In the second version of the question, respondents were just asked their vote intention (REFRN2 was 2). (As a result of a sample data layout error, this wording experiment was not used in Ontario, where all respondents received the first version of the question. To determine the impact of the wording, the Ontario cases must be dropped from the analysis.) Mean : 1.490 Minimum : 1 Standard Deviation : 0.500 Maximum : 2 1 -35- 15. QUESTION WORDING VARIABLE : REFRN3 TYPE : Nominal RECORD : 1 COLUMN : 36 Question Wording The question asking respondents their opinion on the provision in the Accord guaranteeing Quebec one quarter of the seats in the House of Commons (REFE10) had four variants (in conjunction with REFRN7). When REFRN3 was 1, the question was read without any additional information being offered to the respondent. When REFRN3 was 2, the respondent was told the guarantee was "in return for losing most of its Senate seats". told the guarantee was maintained "regardless of Quebec's population." Mean : 1.510 Minimum : 1 Standard Deviation : 0.500 Maximum : 2 1 -36- 16. QUESTION ORDERING VARIABLE : REFRN4 TYPE : Nominal RECORD : 1 COLUMN : 37 Universe: System-generated for all Pre-referendum respondents The order in which the response options were read to respondents in the question about the senate was randomized. The three options read to respondents were: a = senate stay as it is, b = change senate as proposed in Accord, and c = do away with the senate. When REFRN4 was "1," the respondent was read the options in the order of a, b, c, (question REFE1). When REFRN4 was "2," the order of presentation was b, c, a (question REFE2); and when REFRN4 was "3," the order was c, a, b (REFE3).

WHAT MADE YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND VARIABLE : PRB4C TYPE : Nominal RECORD : 1 COLUMNS : 363-366 Universe: Post-referendum respondents replying "YES" to PRB4B What made you change your mind? The post-referendum survey contained a second open ended question (PRB4C), but it was only asked of a subset (376) of the respondents. Respondents who indicated in the previous questions that they had "changed their mind about how they were going to vote" during the referendum were asked to explain "what made them change their mind." Most of the responses were a version of "I got more information about the Accord during the referendum campaign." However, in an effort to maximize the utility of the responses, a finely graded list of 46 categories is coded in the data set. The small number of responses in each category (no one category counts for more than 10 percent of the responses) and the considerable overlap in many of the categories argues for collapsing of the categories before analysis.

When CPSRN1 was "1," respondents were asked "how much should be done to promote the French language in Canada." Alternatively, when CPSRN1 was "2," respondents were asked "how much should be done for Quebec " CATI logic was utilized so that the follow-up questions (CSF1B to CPSF1F) were customized to parallel the wording in CPSF1A. For example, when CPSF1A asked about what should be "done for Quebec," the follow-up questions asked about each party position on what should be done for Quebec.

QUESTION ORDERING VARIABLE : CPSRN2 TYPE : Nominal RECORD : 1 COLUMN : 494 Universe: System-generated for all Pre-election respondents After respondents were told that governments were running deficits (CPSCH60), they were asked two follow-up questions: in the first (CPSL6A), respondents were asked if they were willing to pay higher taxes in order to reduce the deficit; in the second (CPSL6B), they were asked if they were willing to pay higher taxes to maintain social programs. The order in which the respondent was asked these two questions was determined by the value of "random number 2" (the variable CPSRN2 in the data set). When CPSRN2 was " 1," CATI produced the version of the questionnaire that asked the respondent about higher taxes to reduce the deficit first, and higher taxes to maintain social programs second. When CPSRN2 had a value of "2," the order of the questions was reversed (social programs preceded the deficit). To determine if the order of the questions had an impact upon responses, the analyst can produce cross tabulations/contingency tables of CPSL6A by CPSRN2 and CPSL6B by CPSRN2.

QUESTION WORDING VARIABLE : CPSRN3 TYPE : Nominal RECORD : 1 COLUMN : 495 Universe: System-generated for all Pre-election respondents There were four different versions of the questions (CPSL11A and CPSL11B) about paying a fee for health care. In the first version of the question, respondents were asked "if making people pay a fee for each visit to a doctor would reduce waste in the health care system; or if paying a fee would mean some people would not get the health care they needed." In the second version of the question, doctor was replaced by hospital; in the third, some people was changed to low income people; and in the fourth, doctor was replaced with hospital and some people was replaced with low income people. Which of the four versions the respondents received was determined by CPSRN3 and CPSRN4. In addition, the order of the two response options was varied, so half the respondents were given the statement about paying a fee first, and half were given the statement about not getting care first (CPSRN9).

      Universe: all respondents                                                           
                                                                                          
      Considerable effort was made to ensure, within each household, that the             
      same person completed each survey. For example, in the post-election                
      survey, interviewers were provided with the first name, initial, or other           
      identifier (mother, only male in household, etc.) of the respondent who             
      completed the campaign-period survey as well as their sex and year of               
      birth. The same procedures were used between the pre- and post-referendum           
      surveys, and between the post-referendum and campaign period survey.                
      However, in comparing the name (or identifier), sex, and year of birth for          
      respondents across the surveys, it is possible to isolate cases where               
      there are differences in sex, age, or name (identifier). Each case in the           
      Canadian Election Study was classified (in the variable RLINK) as being a           
      "goodlink" - including respondents who only completed the CPS - (96                 
      percent), "probably a goodlink" (2.6 percent), "probably a badlink" (0.8            
      percent), or "mailback badlink" (0.6 percent). The following conventions            
      were used in the classification:                                                    
                                                                                          
      i.   When the name (or identifier), age, and sex were the same in all five          
           surveys the case was classified as a "goodlink."                               
                                                                                          
      ii.  When the name was different, or there was change in sex, the case was          
           coded as a "probable badlink."                                                 
                                                                                          
      iii. When the age was different the case was coded as a "badlink", with             
           the exception noted in point iv.                                               
                                                                                          
      iv.  When age was different but there was the possibility of an                     
           interviewer entry error (for example, year of birth was recorded as            
           1945 in the first survey and 1954 in the second survey) and there was          
           strong supporting evidence that the same person was interviewed (for           
           example, there was only one male adult in the household who had the            
           correct name), the case was classified as a "probable goodlink".               
                                                                                          
      v.   When the linking problems were specific to the mail-back survey, the           
           case was classified as a "mailback badlink."                                   
                                                                                          
      Analysts who are working with the data may wish to consider dropping the            
      "probable badlink" cases from the data set. Elimination of bad link cases           
      will result in slightly smaller sample sizes than indicated in Table 4.1.
