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.
Mail: Psychological
NOTE: If using the psychological well-being items from both the telephone and mail surveys, note the different coding schemes used for the two instruments. Also note the telephone items were recreated and replaced with the 3/98 release.

NP001REC is coded with a sum if at least one of the seven items (41a,
41g,41h,41o 41v,41cc,41jj) received a valid response. The level of
autonomy can range from 1 (the lowest possible) to 42 (the highest
possible). No attempt to assign reasonable scores for invalid
responses is made. Thus the sum includes one to seven items. See
NP001REI for another version of this sum in which missing values are
replaced by the mean from valid responses. See NP002RE for the number
of items included in the sum.
Additional Ryff scale items can be found in the 1993-94 WLS

NP019REC is coded with a sum if at least one of the seven items (41c,
41j,41q,41u,41x,41ee,41ll) received a valid response. The degree of
personal growth can range from 1 (the lowest possible) to 42 (the
highest possible). No attempt to assign reasonable scores for invalid
responses is made. Thus the sum includes one to seven items. See
NP019REI for another version of this sum in which missing values are
replaced by the mean from valid responses. See NP020RE for the number
of items included in the sum.

NP028REC is coded with a sum if at least one of the seven items (41d,
41k,41r,41y,41bb,41ff,41mm) received a valid response. The degree of
positive relation can range from 1 (the lowest possible) to 42 (the
highest possible). No attempt to assign reasonable scores for invalid
responses is made. Thus the sum includes one to seven items. See
NP028REI for another version of this sum in which missing values are
replaced by the mean from valid responses. See NP029RE for the number
of items included in the sum.

NP055REC is coded with a sum if at least one of the five items (42b,
42c,42g,42i,42j) recieved a valid response. No attempt to assign
reasonable scores for invalid responses is made. The degree of
flexible goal adjustment can range from 1 (the lowest possible) to 25
(the highest possible). See NP055REI for an imputed version of this
variable for which mean of valid responses is imputed for missing
responses. See NP056RE for the number of items included in the sum.
This variable has been indentified incorrectly in releases prior
