[1] - The actual question preface was: "This card contains a list of
some things that might have happenned to you at some point in
your
life, either as a child or as an adult, or both. I'd like
you to
read down the card, and for each item tell me, to the best of
your
knowledge, if that has happenned to you more than once, once or
twice, or never." The actual available selections were: a)
More
than once; b) Once or twice; c) Never; d) Don't know. These
selections, (a, b, c, and d), are indicated in the detailed
Demographic Data section.
Format notes: The order of the questions as listed in
Summary I &
II is as presented in the referenced document. The _numerical
order_ corresponds to the order of the questions as presented
in
the Demographic Data section and corresponds to the actual
order
of the questions as presented to the original respondents.
Card 1 and Card 2, in the Demographic Data section, are each
presented in two parts to conform to an 80-column format. They
were originally presented as a one-page landscape (horizontal
132-column) printout.
For household income the 'M' indicates married couple income.
Occupation is for the interviewed respondent and not the head
of
household. The column titled "Empl Fems" indicates employed
females. Geographic designations: NE = Northeast, New England
and Mid-Atlantic states; Midwest = East North Central and West
North Central states; South = South Atlantic, East South
Central
and West South Central states; West = Mountain and Pacific
states.
(These are combined U.S. Census Regions.) Market size
corresponds
to A.C. Nielsen definitions: A = the 25 largest metro areas in
the U.S.; B = individually or aggregately within a metro area
have
a population of 150,000 or more; C = individually or
aggregately
within a metro area have a population of 35,000 or more; D =
all
remaining counties. Although not specifically mentioned in the
study commentary or the data analysis, the "Race Blck" column
is
assumed to refer to that portion of respondents who identified
themselves as Afro-American.
The referenced document is assumed to be accurate. THIS
DOCUMENT,
ALTHOUGH PROOFREAD TWICE, MAY CONTAIN TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS
WHICH
ARE SOLELY MINE.
[2] - Surveys were conducted in July, August, and September 1991.
The
Total and monthly respondent figures are listed. The
individual
month margin of sampling error is +/- 3%, the total sample
margin
of sampling error is +/- 1.4% After demographic exclusions,
185,000,000 people are represented by the total survey. "Thus,
when 8% of our respondents reported that they have 'seen
unusual
lights or balls of light in a room without knowing what was
causing them, or where they came from,' that 8% can be said to
represent a total of 14,800,000 Americans."
[3] - TRONDANT is a fictional word and the question was included
"in an
attempt to guage the reliability of people's responses. It is
interesting to note that only 1% of respondents, the lowest for
any item, report this as having happenned."
[4] - PSA = Political Social Actives; Roper terms them Influential
Americans and defines them as: "predominantly in their thirties
and forties, are married and have children. They are wealthier
than most Americans, with a median income of $38,700,
compared to
$28,300 for the total population. On average, Influentials are
also better educated - 43% of Influentials are college
graduates,
compared to 30% of the total population."
[5] - Percentages have been rounded off "to the nearest whole
percent."
This means that adding sub-item percentages may yeild values
greater than 100%.
