8 ZA 2563 / ICPSR 6518 Eurobarometer 42 Pace 2 Preliminary Remark AS a result of the increased number and volume of recent surveys connected with the Eurobarometer survey series, the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) and the Zentralarchiv fiir Empirische Sozialforschung (ZA) have entered into a co-operative arrangement for the production and distribution of these important data collections. The present codebook is a product of this joint endeavour. Under this agreement, ICPSR and ZA alternately assume responsibility for the production of each survey. In this way all users will receive Euro- Barometer data sets and codebooks in identical standard formats although each archive will employ its own study number to identify each survey. Since this co-operation presupposes common standards for data and codebook preparation, the formatting may in some details diverge from the usual ICPSR or ZA standards. For cxxclplc, all frcqucncy tables in this codcbook arc based on unweighted data while ICPSR codebooks generally contain only weighted frequency counts. Bibliographic Citation Publications based on ICPSR or ZA data collections should acknowledge those sources by means of bibliographic citations. To ensure that such source attributions are captured for social science bibliographic utilities, citations must appear in footnotes or in the reference section of publications. The bibliographic citation for this data collection is: Reif, Karlheinz and Eric Marlier Eurobarometer 42: The First Year of the New European Union November-December 1994 [Computer file].

9 ZA 2563 / ICPSR 6518 Eurobarometer 42 Page 3 The Eurobarometer (a.k.a. Euro-Barometer) Survey Series The Eurobarometer surveys are the fruit of a unique program of rro.c.q-nati onnl and crons-t~empornl nocial eri c=nre re.qparrh The effort began in early 1970, when the Commission of the European Communities began to carry out simultaneous surveys of the member nations of the European Community. Early efforts continued with two more surveys of the memhnr nations in 1971 and In 1974, the Commission of the European Communities officially launched the biannual Eurobarometer series of surveys, conducted in the Spring and Fall of each year. These surveys are designed to provide regular monitoring of the social and political attitudes of the publics in the European Community member nations, now twelve in number. Of primary concern are public awareness of and attitudes toward the Common Market and other European Community institutions and and policies. Special topics of interest, such as consumer attitudes, the environment, gender roles, energy problems, poverty or health-related issues, have also been investigated intermittently~ Eurobarometers available from ICPSR/ZA: European Communities Study, 1970 (ICPSR 7260 / ZA 0626) European (ICPSR Communities Study, 7275 / ZA 0627) 1971 European Communities Study, 1973 (ICPSR 7330 / ZA 0628) European Communities Study, : Cumulative File (ICPSR 9361 / ZA 2533) Eurobarometer 2: Problems Facing the European Communitv.

12 ZA 2563 / ICPSR 6518 study Description This round of Eurobarometer surveys queried respondents on standad turn-~arnmet~r ~P~SIITPC c,,rh a-z pr,hl i c. awil,-~n~cc nf and attitudes toward the Common Market and the European Union (EU), and also focused on the image of politics in Italy, nutrition and the risk of getting cancer, and awareness nf the European Cnmmvr,i ty Humanitarian Office (ECHO). EU matters covered included the powers, importance, and representativeness of the European Parliament, the protection of personal interests by the European Parliament, and the relative importance of European political policy areas in future elections. Respondents were also questioned on their awareness of outcomes in recent referenda for joining the EU. Questions on the image of politics in Italy included the respondent's awareness of politics in Italy and ratings of the political and economic situations in Italy. Regarding cancer risks, respondents rated 13 food items as increasing, decreasing, or causing no change in their risk of getting cancer. Respondents were also asked about their awareness of the ECHO logo, knowledge of ECHO's humanitarian assistance to the EU as a whole, to Rwanda, and to Yugoslavia, whether ECHO should increase its humanitarian anointanco to non-eu countries, whether the EU. the United States, or Japan gives the most money for humanitarian assistance to non-eu countries, the most effective way for EU countries to give humanitarian assistance, and the level of involvement by the EU in distributing money for humanitarian aid. In France only, respondents were queried on their awareness and consumption of cola drinks. Demographic and other background information was gathered on the number of people residing in the home, region of residence, and occupation of the head of household, as well as the respondent's age, sex, marital status, education, occupation, religion, religiosity, subjective social class, and left-right political self-placement.

The complete study essentially consists of a survey conducted immediately after the European Parliament election of June 1994 in the framework of Eurobarometer In addition pertinent variables from Eurobarometers 40 and 41.0 are also included. Identical questions have been asked in all member states of the European Community, some of them have been included in two, a few in three or four of the interviews. As a consequence the study offers wide opportunities for comparative and longitudinal analyses of voter behavior and voter orientations. Longitudinal analysis are particularly supported by the fact that 1994 study contents are partially overlapping with those of the European Election Study 1989 (ZA study number 2320). The special data release EES 1994 was prepared in the framework of the 'European Elections Study Rersearch Group' by HermaM Schmitt (Mannheimer Zentrum fuer Europaeische Sozialforschung, University of Mannheim), Franz Urban Pappi (University of Mannhe;m), CPP~. van der F.;jk (I~~;vPTc;;+~ of Amsterdam) and Evi Scholz (ZEUS, University of Mannheim) in collaboration with Pilar de1 Castillo (UNED, Madrid), Roland Cayrol (CEVIPOF, Paris), Mark Franklin (University of Houston), Renato Mannheimer (University of Geneva), Michael Marsh (Trinity College, University of Dublin), Karlheinz Reif (European Commission), and Colette Ysmal (CEXIPOF, Paris).

14 ZA 15K1 / TCPSR K51F( Rllrnhnrnmeter 43 Page 8 Sampling and Fieldwork From November 14 to December 31, 1994, International Research Associates of Europe, INRA (Europe), carried out the fieldwork for thi< R,,roharometer, at thca req,,~.zt of the Survey, Research, Analysis" Unit of the Directorate General X, "Information, Communication and Culture", of the European Commission. INRA (Europe) is a European network of market and p hl ir opinion re.qparrh agenpie.s, ro-ordinnted by the European Co-ordination Office (ECO), Avenue R.Vandendriessche 18, B-1150 Brussels. In all member states, fieldwork was conducted on the basis of detailed and uniform instructions prepared by the ECO. INRA (Europe) developed equivalent French and English questionnaires for this Eurobarometer. These questionnaires were translated into other languages hy the firms resgnnsihle for interviewing in each country. In all, Eurobarometer 42 interviewed citizens of the 12 countries in the European Cn-unity (nationals and non-nationals but EU-citizens). Respondents were aged 15 and over. Separate samples were drawn for Northern Ireland and East Germany. In addition, 1082 Austrian, 501 Swedish, InnO Pinnish, and 1 Cl?1 Nnrw~girn ri ti Ten= zgpc-7 15 and over were interviewed with a subset of questions. A multi-stage sampling design was used for this Euroharnmeter. Tn the first stage, primary nampl ing nni tq (PW) were selected from each of the administrative regions in every country (i.e., Statistical Office of the European Community, EUROSTAT regions). PSU selection was systematic with probability proportional to population size, from sampling frames stratified by the degree of urbanization. In the next stage, a cluster of addresses was selected from each sampled PSU. Addresses were chosen systematically uni ng standard random route procedures, beginning with an initial address selected at random. In each household, a respondent was selected, by a random procedure. Up to three recalls were made to obtain an interview with the selected reqmlamt. Nn more than one int~ervinw WRR conducted in each household. Interviews were conducted face-to-face in respondents' homes. In Sweden the interviews were carried out via telephone. The firms responsible for carrying out each national survey are shown below, together with interviewing dates for each country. Users should contact these organizations for more detailed information regarding sampling methods.

In some countries, crosstabulations of a higher dimension were used, by crosstabulating with additional variables. Data for post-stratification were provided by EUROSTAT and the survey firms in each country. WEIGHT RESULT FROM TARGET and WEIGHT ADJUSTED TO STANDARD SIZE are for use in separate analyses of individual countries. WEIGHT RESULT FROM TARGET reproduces the real number of cases for each country. British and Northern Irish as well as East and West German samples are weighted separately. This weight is corresponds to former NATION WEIGHT II (up tn Eurnbarometer 31). WEIGHT ADJUSTED TO STANDARD SIZE is equivalent to WEIGHT RESULT FROM TARGET adjusting all samples to the standard size of 1000 cases (respectively 300 for Northern Ireland and 500 for Luxembourg and Sweden). WEIGHT SPECIAL UNITED KINGDOM adjusts the British and the Northern Irish samples to their respective proportions in the United Kingdom and should be used whenever the United Kingdom is to be analyzed as a whole. All national weights are included and (unlike the corresponding former NATION are inclnded and (11nlikn the former NATTON WETGHT T 11p to WEIGHT I up to Eurobarometer 31) all samples are adjusted to the standard size. WRTGHT SPECTAT. GERMANY ndjllntn the East and the Went German samples to their respective proportions in the united Germany. All national weights are included and all samples adjusted to the standard size. This weight should be used whenever the rrnitd C~rmany is tn he analyzed as R whole. EURO WEIGHT 12+ includes an adjustment of each national sample in proportion to its share in the total population of the Bnrop~nn Cnmm~~nity, ng6t.s 15 and over. These pntstratification adjustments were based on population figures published by EUROSTAT in the Regional Statistics Yearbook. EURO WEIGHT 12+ is intended for use in analyses of the European Community nations as a whole. Austria, Sweden, Finland and Norway are weighted by zero. EURO WEIGHT 15 includes the future member countries Austria, Sweden and Finland; EURO WEIGHT 15+ includes the new member countries plus Norway.

17 ZA 2563 / ICPSR 6518 Eurohnrometer 42 Page 11 EURO WEIGHT 12 is similar to EURO WEIGHT 12+, but excludes East Germany. In addition EURO WEIGHT 10 excludes Spain and Portugal. EURO WEIGHT 6 Only refers to the six E:c founcler members (France, Belgium, Netherlands, West Germany, Italy and Luxembourg). The European weights equal zero for all excluded countries. All European Weight Variables include the national weighting factors for each sample and - unlike the former EUROPEAN WEIGHT up to Eurobarometer 31A - also contain the adjustment to the standard sample size.

Indicates the abbreviated variable name (maximum of 40 characters) used to identify the variable for the user. These variable names are identical to corresponding SPSS variable labels. The variable label usually includes the question number assigned in the questionnaire. Indicates the starting location and width of this variable when the data set is stored. If the variable is of a multiple-response type, the width referenced is that of a single response. In this example the variable named "43 DEMOCRACY SATISFACTION" is 1 column wide. Indicates the code values of missing data. In this example, 0 (MDl) and 5 (MD2) or any code greater than 5, are missing data. Most analysis software packages require that certain types of data which the user desires to 33e excluoeo from analysis be designated as "MISSING DATA," e.g., inappropriate, unascertained, unascertainable, or ambiguous data categories. Although these codes are defined as missing data categories, this does not mean that the user should not or cannot use them in a substantive role and modify the corresponding SPSS definition if so desired.

21 ZA 2563 / ICPSR 6518 Eurobarometer 42 Data Preparation anc Formatting The data received by ZA from Im (EUROPE) were checked for minfiing and il~~plirnte n=rnrds, for illwpl (wild) codes and for consistency of response patterns. Errors discovered by these procedures were corrected or noted in this codebook. Indices and other derived summary variables were also checked and corrected R.C. necessary. Complete machine-readable documentation was also created for this dataset by ZA. To facilitate analyses of the data, ZA created new variables which consolidate information dispersed over two or more variables in the original INRA dataset. Five variables containing condensed information were created by ZA fnr thin Furobsrnmeter: NATION I, NATION III, AGE RECODED, AGE EDUCATION RECODED and REGION II. Users should be aware that ZA's process of condensing information sometimes produces coding schemes that differ from thnne in earl i er Burnharometern ZA also added "Inappropriate" (Inap.) codes to indicate intentionally skipped questions when it could be determined that the npprnprinte skip inqtmlptinn in thca TNRA questionnaire was adhered to for (almost) every respondent. Users should note that INPA has occasionally represented answers to R questi nn hy a neri eg nf hinsry "dummy" variables (i.e. variables which take on values of one and zero only) creating separate "dummy" variables to explicitly represent "Don't know", "No answer" or other residual responses, such as "None of the above". ZA has recoded these residual responses in the case of inconsistencies with respect to the series of principal answers. ZA has recoded the missing answers (NA) represented in the INRA data set by blanks. Question text and contingency text appe.=.ring in thin codebook and ZA's machine-readable documentation is taken from INRA's English language version of the basic bilingual questionnaire. Coding schemes and other documentation are based on INRA's English language version of the basic bilingual questionnaire, INRA's codebook (in English) and INRA's SPSS setup for its dataset as received by ZA. Whenever a discrepancy occurs between INPA's codebook, questionnaires, SPSS setup and dataset with respect to the coding scheme of a variable, ZA has carried out any correction in agreement with INRA. The data file for this Eurobarometer is available from ZA with a single logical record of 659 columns per respondent.

The DATAMAP gives an overview of all variables, their nature, start- and end-column and length of the field. The TOP LINE REPORTS reproduce the complete question text, or a new variable label for constructed questions, in four different formats (with precedes, unweighted, weighted on the basis EU12 +, weighted on the basis EU15 + Norway). 2. Four extra countries (Sweden, Finland, Austria + NORWAY) were added. Note that in these countries a different, limited selection of variables was made. The survey also followed a different methodology in these 3 countries: Sweden n=500 Telephone omnibus, nationally representative Finland n=looo Face-to-face omnibus, nationally representative Austria n=looo Face-to-face omnibus, nationally representative The Norwegian survey includes a somewhat larger selection of variables, and some new ones. It was carried out in a stand-alone questionnaire, as a randorn face-to-face survey Las usuallyl. The survey was carried in all four countries at different moments, but definitely before the 12 EU memberstates (see technical appendix). 3. The different variables are labelled as follows: l 0 for question : all substantive questions on different topics (VOOl-V217) * D for demographics : all demographic and socio-political descriptive questions IV21 FL-V2391 P for protocol : all protocol variables iv240-v2451 l CO for Cola : a specific subsection of the auestionnaire. limited to France LV246-V285) l Q.-NOR for Norwegian questions : extra questions limited to Norway (V286-V305) l Weight : all weighting variables (V306-V315) l EU : countries and target variables LV316-V322) l C for constructed : all constructed variables, as far as basic Q.variables are available (V440- V450) l D.- (Recoded) or D.-(Harmonisedl: all variables that were derived from single original variables, either a in simple recoded form or in a harmonised form (i.e. in tertiles or quartiles) fv451 -V4541 l SW. for extra Swedish demographic variables, not-compatible with the standard Eurobarometer variables fv455-v4631 l AU. for extra Austrian demooraohic variables. not-comoatible with the standard Eurobarometer variables (V464-V4721 The regular country specific variables are identified with a country abbreviation fv323-v439).

26 EUROBAROMETER 42 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Between November. 28 and December INRA IEUROPEI, a European Network of Market- and Public Opinion Research agencies, carried out wave 42 of ihe STANDARD EUROBAROMETER, on raquesr of the EUROPEAN COMMISSION. The EUROBAROMETER 42 covers the population of the respective nationality of rhe European Union membercountries, aged 15 years and over, resident in each of the Member States. The basic sample design applied in all Member States is a mulfistage, random (probability) one. In each EU country, a number of sampling points was drawn with probability proportional to population size (for a total coverage of the country) and to population density. Note that in Austria. Sweden and Finland. the poll was restricted to a selection of questions. and inserted in an omnibus-type of survey. BEFORE their adhesion to the EU. In Sweden, the survey was limited to 500 casee and interviews were carried out via telephone ial. In Finland the survey was carried out somewhat earlier. For doing so. the points were drawn systematically from all admcnlstratdve regional units, after stratification by individual unit and type of area. They thus represent the whole territory of the Member States according to the EUROSTAT-NUTS II and according to the distribution of the resident population of the respective EU-nationalities in terms of metropolitan, urban and rural areas. In each of the selected sampling points. a starting address was drawn, et random. Further addresses were selected as every Nth address by standard random route procedures. from the inltiai address. In each household. the respondent was drawn. at random. All interviavs were face-to-face in people s home and in :he appropriate national language. POPULATION 15+,x OOOL I For each country a comparison between the sample and the universe was ccarried out. The Universe description was derived from EUROSTAT population data.
