| | | | Summary: | The purpose of this data collection is to provide an
appropriate theoretical and empirical approach to concepts, measures,
and methods in the study of Black Americans. The questionnaire was
developed over two years, with input from social scientists, students,
and a national advisory panel of Black scholars. The final instrument
encompasses several broad areas related to Black American life. The
study explores neighborhood-community integration, services, crime and
community contact, the role of religion and the church, physical and
mental health, and self-esteem. It also examines employment, the
effects of chronic unemployment, the effects of race on the job, and
interaction with family and friends. In addition, the survey provides
information on racial attitudes, race identity, group stereotypes, and
race ideology. Demographic variables include education, income,
occupation, and political behavior and affiliation. |

| | | Data Collection Notes: | (1) Users should note that data for the ''state and
county'' codes (Variables 1405, 1407, and 1410) were entered in
COUNTY/STATE order and not STATE/COUNTY order. This is the reverse of
how Note 3 describes the interpretation of these variables. (2) The
age distribution for the 2,107 persons interviewed was ages 17-54 (N =
1,526), 55-64 (N = 239), 65-74 (N = 230), 75-84 (N = 100), and 85+ (N
= 12). (3) The data in this collection are superseded by the Wave 1
data in NATIONAL SURVEY OF BLACK AMERICANS, WAVES 1-4, 1979-1980,
1987-1988, 1988-1989, 1992 (ICPSR 6668) |
