Summary note

This instructional subset study was constructed from items contained in the AMERICAN NATIONAL ELECTION STUDY, 1976 (ICPSR 7381), conducted by the Center for Political Studies, Institute for Social Research, the University of Michigan. The survey, the 14th in a series of national election studies begun in 1952, was directed by Warren E. Miller and Arthur H. Miller. Seventy variables from the 1976 election study are contained in this subset. The items chosen report respondents' views on current public issues as well as aspects of the 1976 presidential election campaign. Items probed respondents' opinions of government and public officials, Nixon's pardon, racially integrated schools, the political parties, cut in defense spending, government's control of inflationary trends, unemployment, pollution and energy use, abortion rights, and the Equal Rights Amendments (ERA) to the Constitution. Respondents were also asked to evaluate the 1976 presidential candidates and to indicate their vote choice. Additional items explored respondents' attitudes toward busing, use of marijuana, and gender equality. Also elicited were respondents' perceptions of their financial status relative to the previous year and the following year and their satisfaction with life. Demographic items specify age, sex, education, marital status, political party affiliation, ideological leanings, social class identification, income, religion, and race....
