HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS COHORT STUDY, 1965 AND 1973 ICPSR STUDY NUMBER 7575 PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR M. KENT JENNINGS THE CENTER FOR POLITICAL STUDIES THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN FIRST ICPSR EDITION FIRST PRINTING, 1978 INTER-UNIVERSITY CONSORTIUM FOR POLITICAL AND SOCIAL RESEARCH P.O. BOX 1248 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN 48106 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF ASSISTANCE ALL MANUSCRIPTS UTILIZING DATA MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE CONSORTIUM SHOULD ACKNOWLEDGE THAT FACT AS WELL AS IDENTIFY THE ORIGINAL COLLECTOR OF THE DATA. THE ICPSR COUNCIL URGES ALL USERS OF ICPSR DATA FACILITIES TO FOLLOW SOME ADAPTATION OF THIS STATEMENT WITH THE PARENTHESES INDICATING ITEMS TO BE FILLED IN APPROPRIATELY OR DELETED BY THE INDIVIDUAL USER. THE DATA (AND TABULATIONS) USED IN THIS (PUBLICATION) WERE MADE AVAILABLE (IN PART) BY THE INTER-UNIVERSITY CONSORTIUM FOR POLITICAL AND SOCIAL RESEARCH. THE DATA FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS COHORT STUDY WERE ORIGINALLY COLLECTED BY THE CENTER FOR POLITICAL STUDIES AND THE SURVEY RESEARCH CENTER AT THE INSTITUTE FOR SOCIAL RESEARCH, THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN. NEITHER THE ORIGINAL COLLECTORS OF THE DATA NOR THE CONSORTIUM BEAR ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ANALYSES OR INTERPRETATIONS PRESENTED HERE. IN ORDER TO PROVIDE FUNDING AGENCIES WITH ESSENTIAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE USE OF ARCHIVAL RESOURCES, AND TO FACILITATE THE EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION ABOUT ICPSR PARTICIPANTS' RESEARCH ACTIVITIES, EACH USER OF THE ICPSR DATA FACILITIES IS EXPECTED TO SEND TWO COPIES OF EACH COMPLETED MANUSCRIPT OR THESIS ABSTRACT TO THE CONSORTIUM. PLEASE INDICATE IN THE COVER LETTER WHICH DATA WERE USED. TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE NO.

KENT JENNINGS. FINANCIAL SUPPORT CAME FROM THE DANFORTH FOUNDATION FOR THE 1965 STUDY AND FROM THE NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION FOR THE 1973 STUDY. THE 1965 DATA WERE GATHERED IN PART TO PROVIDE INFOR- MATION ABOUT THE SOCIAL AND POLITICAL CLIMATE OF THE PEER GROUPS AND THE ENTIRE SENIOR CLASSES ATTACHED TO THE STUDENT INTERVIEWEES WHO WERE THE SUBJECTS OF THE "STUDENT-PARENT SOCIALIZATION STUDY" (ICPSR STUDY NUMBER 7286). THE 1973 DATA WERE GATHERED TO PROVIDE A TREND LINE AND TO COVER ADDITIONAL TOPICS. IN BOTH YEARS SEVERAL KEY POLITICAL MEASURES (ESPECIALLY TRUST, EFFICACY, TOLERANCE, COSMOPOLITANISM, SALIENCE, AND PARTISANSHIP) AND PERSONAL MEASURES WERE DEVELOPED THAT PARALLELED THOSE USED IN THE 1965 PERSONAL INTERVIEWS. EACH YEAR'S DATA COLLECTION ALSO DIFFERED IN SOME RESPECTS, WITH 1965 INCLUDING MORE INFORMATION ON THE SOCIAL STUDIES CURRICULUM AND THE SOCIAL CLIMATE, AND 1973 DEVOTING MORE ATTENTION TO POLITICAL VARIABLES AND TO ETHNIC AND RACIAL COMPOSITION. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE SCHOOLS ATTENDED BY THE STUDENTS WAS COLLECTED FROM SCHOOL OFFICIALS THROUGH A SCHOOL CHARACTERISTICS FORM. THESE SCHOOL CHARACTERISTICS ARE LOCATED AT THE END OF EACH DATASET. ALL STUDENTS FROM THE SAME SCHOOL HAVE THE SAME SCHOOL CHARACTERISTICS ATTACHED TO THEIR DATA RECORDS. SAMPLING INFORMATION THE SCHOOLS IN EACH YEAR WERE DEFINED BY THE 97 SCHOOLS INCLUDED IN THE STUDENT-PARENT SOCIALIZATION STUDY. THE NUMBER OF COOPERATING SCHOOLS WAS 77 IN 1965 AND 85 IN 1973. WITHIN SCHOOLS ALL MEMBERS OF THE SENIOR CLASS WERE POTENTIAL RESPONDENTS. PAPER-PENCIL QUESTIONNAIRES WERE ADMINISTERED IN THE SPRING TO STUDENTS ASSEMBLED TOGETHER OR IN INDIVIDUAL CLASSROOMS. OWING TO ABSENTEEISM AND OCCASIONAL DIFFICULTIES IN ADMINISTRATION, THE ESTIMATED RESPONSE RATE OF STUDENTS WAS 85% IN 1965 AND 74% IN 1973. THE RAW N IS 20,674 FOR 1965 AND 16,929 FOR 1973. WITH APPROPRIATE WEIGHTING (SEE WEIGHTING INFORMATION) EACH SAMPLE CAN BE CONSIDERED A NATIONALLY REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLE OF HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS BASED ON POPULATION DISTRIBUTIONS AS OF THE MID-1960'S. II WEIGHTING INFORMATION IN ORDER TO DRAW A NATIONAL PROBABILITY SAMPLE OF HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS IN THE ORIGINAL 1965 SOCIALIZATION STUDY, A SAMPLING FRACTION OF 1/1450 WAS EMPLOYED TO PRODUCE A SAMPLE OF SCHOOLS SELECTED WITH A PROBABILITY PROPORTIONATE TO THEIR SIZE. THE PRESENT DATASETS DEAL WITH (POTENTIALLY) ALL MEMBERS OF THE SENIOR CLASSES IN THE SAMPLED SCHOOLS RATHER THAN WITH THE RELATIVELY CONSTANT 15-20 MEMBERS SELECTED FOR INTERVIEWING PURPOSES. SINCE THE SCHOOLS VARIED A GREAT DEAL IN SIZE, IT WAS NECESSARY TO ASSIGN SCHOOL WEIGHTS THAT WERE APPLIED TO EACH RESPONDENT IN THE SCHOOL. THE WEIGHTED DATA WILL GIVE A PROPER REFLECTION OF THE TOTAL NUMBER OF SENIORS IN THE SAMPLING STRATUM REPRESENTED BY EACH SCHOOL. CONSEQUENTLY, THE WEIGHTS ARE CORRESPONDINGLY LARGE AND VARIED. TO FACILITATE ANALYSIS THE ORIGINAL WEIGHTS HAVE BEEN DIVIDED BY 100. THE RESULTING 4-DIGIT WEIGHT VARIABLE (REF. NO. 7 IN EACH STUDY) HAS AN IMPLIED DECIMAL BETWEEN THE SECOND AND THIRD DIGITS. ALTHOUGH THE MARGINAL DISTRIBUTIONS BASED ON WEIGHTED AND UNWEIGHTED N'S TEND TO CONVERGE, IT IS ADVISABLE TO PERFORM ALL FINAL ANALYSES APPLYING THE WEIGHT VARIABLE. THE WEIGHTED N IS 2,070,963 FOR 1965 AND 1,688,211 FOR 1973. FREQUENCIES INFORMATION BECAUSE OF THEIR MAGNITUDE, FREQUENCIES WERE NOT MERGED INTO THE BODY OF EACH CODEBOOK. INSTEAD, THE RAW, UNWEIGHTED FREQUENCIES CAN BE FOUND IN THE ADDENDUM TO EACH CODEBOOK. III CODEBOOK INFORMATION THE EXAMPLE BELOW IS A REPRODUCTION OF INFORMATION APPEARING IN THE MACHINE-READABLE CODEBOOK FOR A TYPICAL VARIABLE. THE NUMBERS IN CIRCLES DO NOT APPEAR IN THE CODEBOOK, BUT ARE REFERENCES TO THE DESCRIPTIONS WHICH FOLLOW THIS EXAMPLE (TAKEN FROM THE 1973 STUDY). ............................................................ 1 VAR 0064 2 R ELECTED TO OFFICE 3 MD=GE 9 1 REF 0064 4 LOC 79 WIDTH 1 5 DK 1 COL 80 6 --- 7 --- 8 --IF RESPONSE TO Q.55 WAS "YES"-- Q.56.

NA; INAP., CODED 5 OR 9 IN Q.55 ........................................................... 1. INDICATES THE VARIABLE AND REFERENCE NUMBERS. A VARIABLE AND A REFERENCE NUMBER ARE ASSIGNED TO EACH ITEM IN THE STUDY. IN EACH CODEBOOK, WHICH DOCUMENTS EACH ARCHIVED DATASET, THESE NUMBERS ARE IDENTICAL. SHOULD THE DATA BE SUBSETTED OR REARRANGED BY AN OSIRIS PROGRAM (E.G., MMP TO INTERSPERSE DATA FROM ANOTHER SOURCE OR TCOT TO PRODUCE AN ANALYSIS IV DECK), THE VARIABLE NUMBERS WOULD CHANGE TO REFLECT THE ORDER OF THE NEW DATASET, WHILE THE REFERENCE NUMBERS WOULD REMAIN UNCHANGED TO REFLECT THE VARIABLE NUMBER IN THE CODEBOOK DESCRIBING THE ARCHIVED DATASET. 2. INDICATES THE ABBREVIATED (24 CHARACTERS MAXIMUM) VARIABLE NAME USED WITHIN THE OSIRIS SYSTEM TO IDENTIFY THE VARIABLE FOR THE USER. AN EXPANDED VERSION OF THESE NAMES CAN BE FOUND IN THE VARIABLE DESCRIPTION LIST. 3. INDICATES THE DESIGNATION OF MISSING DATA. IN THIS EXAMPLE, CODE VALUES GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO 9 ARE MISSING DATA (MD=GE 9). ALTERNATIVE STATEMENTS FOR OTHER VARIABLES ARE "MD=0", "MD=0 OR GE 99", OR "NO MISSING DATA CODES". SOME ANALYSIS SOFTWARE PACKAGES (INCLUDING THE OSIRIS SOFTWARE PACKAGE) REQUIRE THAT CERTAIN TYPES OF DATA WHICH THE USER DESIRES TO EXCLUDE FROM ANALYSIS BE DESIGNATED AS "MISSING DATA", E.G., INAPPROPRIATE, UNASCERTAINED, UNASCERTAINABLE OR AMBIGUOUS DATA CATEGORIES. ALTHOUGH THESE CATEGORIES ARE DEFINED AS MISSING DATA CATEGORIES, THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT A USER SHOULD NOT OR CANNOT USE THESE CODES IN A SUBSTANTIVE ROLE IF SHE OR HE SO DECIDES. 4. INDICATES THE STARTING LOCATION AND WIDTH OF THIS VARIABLE WHEN THE DATA ARE STORED ON MAGNETIC TAPE IN THE OSIRIS FORMAT. IF THE VARIABLE IS OF A MULTIPLE RESPONSE TYPE, THE WIDTH REFERENCED IS THAT OF A SINGLE RESPONSE. 5. INDICATES THE LOCATION BY DECK AND COLUMN(S) OF THIS VARIABLE WHEN THE DATA ARE ON CARDS OR IN CARD IMAGE (EITHER 80 OR 84 COLUMN FORMAT). FOR MULTIPLE RESPONSE VARIABLES THE LOCATIONS REFER TO THE ENTIRE VARIABLE FIELD. 6. MULTIPLE RESPONSE VARIABLE INFORMATION IS USUALLY INSERTED IN THIS SPACE. THERE ARE NO MULTIPLE RESPONSE VARIABLES IN THIS STUDY. V 7. A VARIABLE CONTAINING DATA WITH IMPLIED DECIMALS IS DENOTED IN THIS SPACE BY THE MESSAGE "XX DEC PLACE(S)", WHERE XX IS THE NUMBER OF DECIMAL PLACES IMPLIED (NOT PUNCHED) IN THE VARIABLE. 8. INDICATES ANY CONTINGENCY ASSOCIATED WITH THE VARIABLE. ALSO LISTED HERE IS THE FULL TEXT (QUESTION) SUPPLIED BY THE INVESTIGATOR TO DESCRIBE THE VARIABLE. THE QUESTION TEXT REFLECTS THE ORIGINAL WORDING OF THE QUESTIONNAIRE ITEM. 9. INDICATES ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENT OR EXPLANATION APPENDED TO THE VARIABLE DESCRIPTION. 10. A VARIABLE WITH A FOOTNOTE ASSOCIATED WITH IT IS DENOTED HERE BY THE MESSAGE "SEE NOTE(S) X", WHERE X IS THE NUMBER OF THE FOOTNOTE REFERENCED. 11. INDICATES THE CODE VALUES OCCURRING IN THE DATA FOR THIS VARIABLE. 12. INDICATES THE TEXTUAL DEFINITIONS OF THE CODES. ABBREVIATIONS COMMONLY USED IN THE CODE DEFINITIONS ARE DK (DO NOT KNOW), NA (NOT ASCERTAINED), AND INAP. (INAPPROPRIATE). FILE STRUCTURE THE 1965 AND 1973 DATA ARE AVAILABLE FROM THE ICPSR IN TWO FORMATS: SEPARATE CARD IMAGE FILES, AND SEPARATE OSIRIS DATASETS. FOR EACH STUDY, THE CARD IMAGE FILE CONTAINS THREE DECKS PER RESPONDENT IN A FORMAT BASED ON 80 COLUMN PUNCHED CARDS. THE DATA ARE SORTED BY RESPONDENT AND SCHOOL WITH ALL DECKS FOR EACH CASE TOGETHER IN ASCENDING ORDER. THERE ARE TWO COMPONENTS TO EACH OSIRIS DATASET. THE OSIRIS SCHOOL DICTIONARY FOR EACH STUDY CONTAINS ALL THE TECHNICAL INFORMATION FOR EACH VARIABLE IN THE OSIRIS DATAFILE. THE DICTIONARY OR DICTIONARY-CODEBOOK FILE IS USED WITH THE OSIRIS SOFTWARE PACKAGE. VI THE 1965 OSIRIS DATAFILE IS CONSTRUCTED WITH A SINGLE LOGICAL RECORD OF 150 BYTES FOR EACH RESPONDENT. THERE ARE 115 VARIABLES. THE 1973 OSIRIS DATAFILE IS CONSTRUCTED WITH A SINGLE LOGICAL RECORD OF 171 BYTES FOR EACH RESPON- DENT. THERE ARE 141 VARIABLES. EACH OSIRIS DATAFILE CAN BE ACCESSED DIRECTLY BY SOFTWARE PACKAGES WHICH DO NOT USE THE OSIRIS DICTIONARY BY SPECIFYING THE TAPE LOCATIONS OF THE DESIRED VARIABLES. TAPE LOCATIONS ARE PROVIDED IN EACH CODEBOOK. THERE IS A WEIGHT VARIABLE IN EACH STUDY (REF. NO. 7). THIS VARIABLE SHOULD BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH DATA ANALYSIS PROGRAMS. USING THE DATA THE 1965 AND 1973 DATASETS CAN BE USED IN A NUMBER OF WAYS. THEY CAN BE USED SEPARATELY, OR COMBINED FOR TREND ANALYSIS OF VARIABLES APPEARING AT BOTH TIME POINTS. NOTE THAT THE 1973 QUESTIONNAIRE FORMAT OFTEN GIVES MORE RESPONSE ALTERNATIVES (E.G., STRONGLY AGREE, AGREE, DISAGREE, STRONGLY DISAGREE) THAN THE 1965 QUESTIONNAIRE (E.G., AGREE, DISAGREE). COLLAPSING THE 1973 CATEGORIES IS, THEREFORE, NECESSARY IN ORDER TO MAKE THE VARIABLE CATEGORIES COMPARABLE OVER TIME. ANOTHER USE OF THE TWO DATASETS ARISES FROM THE FACT THAT A MAJORITY OF THE SCHOOLS ARE FOUND IN BOTH YEARS. THIS MEANS THAT THE SAME SCHOOLS CAN BE PAIRED ACROSS TIME. ANOTHER POSSIBLE USE APPLIES ONLY TO THE 1965 DATASET. SINCE THESE SCHOOLS ARE THE SAME ONES IN WHICH INTERVIEWS WERE HELD FOR THE STUDENT-PARENT SOCIALIZATION STUDY, AND SINCE MATCHING SCHOOL IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS APPEAR IN BOTH DATASETS, THE 1965 COHORT DATA CAN BE MERGED WITH THE 1965 INTERVIEW DATA, PERMITTING CONTEXTUAL ANALYSIS. DUE TO THE LARGE N'S INVOLVED, USERS WILL PROBABLY WANT TO MERGE THE MASS-ADMINISTERED VARIABLES AFTER REDUCING THEM TO SUMMARY FORM FOR EACH SCHOOL (E.G., MEANS, STANDARD DEVIATIONS, AND OTHER MEASURES OF DISTRIBUTIONS AND CENTRAL TENDENCIES). BECAUSE OF THE LARGE NUMBER OF CASES IN EACH DATASET, USERS MAY WISH TO CONSTRUCT MINI-DATASETS BASED ON SAMPLING FROM THE FULL DATASETS. VII PROCESSING INFORMATION THE STUDY WAS PROCESSED ACCORDING TO THE STANDARD ICPSR PROCEDURES. BECAUSE OF THE LARGE NUMBER OF CASES IN THE DATASETS, ALL ILLEGAL CODES WERE RECODED TO THE MISSING DATA CODE. ANY SUCH ILLEGAL CODES WERE ALWAYS LESS THAN ONE-HALF OF 1 PERCENT OF THE TOTAL. VALID RESPONDENT IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS FOR THE 1965 STUDY (REF. NO. 3) ARE IN THE RANGE 1-20674. VALID IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS FOR THE 1973 STUDY (REF. NO. 3) ARE IN THE RANGE 30001-46929. STATEMENTS BRACKETED IN "(" AND ")" SIGNS IN THE BODY OF THE CODEBOOK WERE ADDED BY THE PROCESSOR FOR EXPLANATORY PURPOSES. THE STUDY WAS PROCESSED BY DANIEL TSANG.
