WLS Codebooks

Note: Codebooks contain frequency data from the private data release. For some variables, these differ from the frequencies in the public release. Variables that differ between the public and private versions include "(not available on public release)" as part of the variable description, or a note indicating the difference between the public and private versions.

Phone: Cognition - Similarities

SCOGSIM  Cognition Similarities Module           

OVERVIEW 

The sibling version of the Cognition Similarities module is exactly like the
graduate version, with only one exception:  the variable names all begin with
'c' instead of 'g'.  (Just as for grads, siblings receive 9 items if they are
in the 80% CU001RE [alcflag] sample, and otherwise receive 6.)

Because this module is otherwise exactly like the grad version, users are
directed to COR 859 (cor859CognitionSimilarities_GradPhone.doc) to read about
the scoring and coding of this module.

BRIEF VARIABLE DESCRIPTIONS

CI101RE:             6-item score for cognition similarities.

CI106RE:             9-item score for cognition similarities. 

CI111RE-CI119RE:     Scores for 6 individual cognition similarities 
                     items. Does not include any total scores.


Note: See Cor 954 in Appendix G for variable creation details

ci101re: 6-item score for the Cognition Similarities section.

Note: This 6-item score is based on responses to items i13p1, i13p4, i13p6, i13p7, i13p9, and i13p10 (corresponding to CI111RE, CI113RE, CI115RE, CI116RE, CI118RE, and CI119RE in this analysis file). All respondents were given these 6 items. This 6-item score replicates RI001RE from the 1992 wave but differs in number of items summarized (6 instead of 8 in 1992). "Don't know" responses to individual items count as 0 toward summary scores. "Inappropriate," "Refused," and "Not Ascertained" do not count toward summary scores.

Only respondents in the 80% CU001RE (alcflag) sample received these additional 3 items; thus, only those respondents will have this 9-item score. "Don't know" responses to individual items count as 0 toward summary scores. "Inappropriate," "Refused," and "Not Ascertained" do not count toward summary scores.
