        HRELI - Graduate Spouse Religion Module       cor909.txt

OVERVIEW

  The religion section for the 2004 - 2006 interview of spouses of the WLS
  graduates asks only one question.  This question asks about frequency of
  attendance at religious services in the last year.  Answers are accepted at
  the unit of day, week, month or year and converted into the total number of
  times per year.  Religious preference of the spouses is not measured here
  because it was collected in the 2003 - 2005 graduate instrument.

BRIEF VARIABLE DESCRIPTIONS

  al101re - Indicates if GSR is in 80% religion sample

  al002rec - Raw numeric component for frequency of GSR's religious attendance
         in past year

  al003red - Units to go with numeric component for frequency of GSR's
         religious attendance

  al004rec - Frequency of GSR's religious attendance converted from raw numeric
       component and units to total times in the past year

PROBLEMS

  When reporting frequency of service attendance, some respondents noted that
  they participated in other types of groups outside of church services such as
  bible study or choir.  Other respondents stated that they do not regularly
  attend services, but have gone to weddings and funerals during the year.
