Minor Corrections
1975 Graduate / 1977 Sibling Waves
1992-3 Graduate / 1993-4 Sibling Waves
-
In Education module, the college code of the college where the respondent earned his/her bachelor's
degree or its equivalent
(rb015red
/sb018ree)
has been updated. The majority of the previously uncoded cases (with a value of 0) now have valid college codes.
- In Summary section, the latitude and longitude of respondent's address at the time of interview
(gdtlatg gdtlongg
and gdtlats gdtlongs)
have been converted from string to numeric variables. Also, the old 8.888888 and 9.999999 inap or missing codes
have been recoded to the appropriate negative missing codes based on
WLS conventions.
2003-5 Graduate / 2004-7 Sibling Waves
-
The Speilberger Anger Summary Scores for graduate / sibling respondents,
iua34rec / dua34rec,
have been archived
and replaced by new variables,
iuc34rec
/ duc34rec
In the previous version,
iu047rer
/ du047rer
from the Speilberger Anxiety Scale were used for calculating the Anger Summary Scores. Since the scores were
calculated based on incorrect component item, iua34rec / dua34rec have been archived and should not be used as the
Anger Summary Scores. In current release,
iu048rer
/ du048rer
from the Anger Scale are used in place of iu047rer / du047rer for calcuating the new Anger Summary Scores, iuc34rec / duc34rec.
- Data from mail SAQ of two graduates and one sibling that were not available in previous release have been added
to current release.
2011 Graduate / Sibling Waves
-
ht121re / kt121re
in Marriage module are archived and replaced by new variables
hta121re
/ kta121re
and htb121re
/ ktb121re
We discovered that we asked the same question about changes in marital quality surrounding spouse's retirement,
twice. We created new analysis variables for each of the questions. The new analysis variable hta121re / kta121re
is based on the question we asked in the Marriage module. The new analysis variable htb121re / ktb121re is based on
the question we asked in the Retirement module.
- Most of the variables in the 2011 graduate/sibling waves have been updated to include previously uncoded data.
Miscellaneous
-
All remaining variables that were stilling using 8, 88, 8888, 9, 99, 9999, or the other variants as missing codes
are now recoded using the appropriate negative missing codes based on
WLS conventions.
-
In the 1992-3 Graduate / 1993-4 Sibling Assets Summary module, some of the equity and net worth
measures cannot be determined because of top-coding in at least one of the component variables
used to calculate the measures. In previous release, cases with such undetermined values were
coded 9999996. In current release, 9999996 has been recoded to -2 (inap), and a new flag variable
is created for each measure to indicate such cases. The affected variables include:
- rr023rec / sr023rec : Respondent's home equity (flag variables rr023ref / sr023ref)
- rr027rec / sr027rec : Respondent's other real estate equity that is not first home, a business, or a
(flag variables rr027ref / sr027ref)
- rr031rec / sr031rec : Respondent's business or farm equity (flag variables rr031ref / sr031ref)
- rr035rec / sr035rec : Motor vehicle equity (flag variables rr035ref / sr035ref)
- rr043rec / sr043rec : Respondent's and Spouse's net worth (flag variables rr043ref / sr043ref)
