| Summary: | This dataset was created by merging information collected
from three questionnaires that form part of the NATIONAL SURVEY OF
BLACK AMERICANS, 1979-1980 (ICPSR 8512) (NSBA). The three
questionnaires were (1) the original cross-sectional survey
questionnaire, (2) the reinterview questionnaire, and (3) the family
members questionnaire. All three were administered from
1979-1981. The unit of analysis in this dataset is three generations
of a family, or a "triad." Each unit or record has identical
variables for the three individuals making up a triad (i.e., a
grandparent, parent, and child). There are 510 triads in this
dataset. The study explores feelings and attitudes across the three
generations regarding neighborhood-community integration, services,
crime and community contact, the role of religion and the church,
physical and mental health, and self-esteem. Employment, the effects
of chronic unemployment, the effects of race on the job, and
interaction with family and friends are also examined. In addition,
the survey provides information on racial attitudes, race identity,
group stereotypes, and race ideology. Demographic variables include
age, education, income, occupation, and political behavior and
affiliation. |
