This edition of the data and codebook supplants earlier versions. Improvements:

(1) More variables - all those in the original Australian survey (except ones that could identify individual respondents) - and

(2) More nations (Australia, Austria, Britain, Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands, Poland, Switzerland, and the United States) and

(3) More rigorously defined analytic variables for research and teaching. These maximize comparability between nations and ease of use. They appear in the international section.

The previous data file, now supplanted, was SSDA Study Number 627 (July, 1995).

Data cleaning and preparation are by the authors and by Datacol (Canberra). The present file also incorporates data cleaning and preparation by the Social Science Data Archive (Australian National University), for which we thank them.
