This is the first of two studies conducted by Kahl concerning career patterns and values in Latin American countries (see also CAREER VALUES IN MEXICO, 1963 [ICPSR 7058]). The present study was carried out in 1960 in the Brazilian states of Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais, and Rio Grande do Sul. The study assessed the respondents' occupations at the time they were interviewed, the length of their employment, what they liked most and least about their jobs, and their incomes. Variables further explored past occupations, the highest level of education attained, and the extent to which lack of education had handicapped respondents' careers. A major portion of the study probed the respondents' feelings about the nature of jobs and people: the importance of ambition and determination in one's job, individual versus group interests, how best to "get ahead," importance of family ties, tendency to trust others, and corruption in the urban centers. A number of recodes and derived measures are included.

This data collection is part of a series of nationwide surveys conducted from October 1990 to June 1996 in Spain. The questionnaires for each of these surveys consisted of three sections. The first section collected information on respondents' attitudes regarding personal, national, and international issues, and included questions on respondents' level of life satisfaction and frequency of visits with relatives, neighbors, and friends. The second section contained a topical module of questions that varied from survey to survey, with this survey's topic focusing on social inequality in Spain. Among the issues investigated were opinions on the extent of social inequality in general, whether inequality had increased or decreased over the past decade, whether there was inequality in employment, education, and health care, the amount of inequality between men and women in the family, business firms, the media, political parties, the Catholic Church, labor unions, armed forces, education, and public administration, and the amount of conflict between rich and poor, working class and middle class, and the young and the elderly. The second section also gauged opinions on the importance of various personal attributes (such as ambition, intelligence, race, sex, and education) on the achievement of success in life, and asked respondents to identify the qualities that they most valued in men and women, and in their mothers and fathers. Questions in the third section of the questionnaire elicited socioeconomic information, such as respondent's sex, age, marital status, size of household, occupation, education, religion, religiosity, place of birth, and income.

AVAILABLE. This study is freely available to the general public. Also available as downloadable files. The authors devise an "ambition-adjusted" journal ranking based on citations from a short list of top general-interest journals in economics. Underlying this ranking is the notion that an ambitious economist wishes to be acknowledged not only in the highest reaches of the profession, but also outside his or her subfield. In addition to the conceptual advantages that they find in their ambition adjustment, they see two main practical advantages: greater transparency and a consistent treatment of subfields. They compare their 2008 ranking based on citations from 2001 to 2007 with a ranking for 2002 based on citations from 1995 to 2001.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the social determinants of the integration of youth into adult social life in different regions of the former Soviet Union. To this end, graduating secondary school students were queried about their schooling, extracurricular activities, and plans for the future. Questions about schooling included evaluations of school choice and the effectiveness of schooling, as well as self-reporting of marks and abilities in various areas. Items relating to extracurricular activities covered family status and property, preferred activities during spare time, interests, values, and friends. Information concerning plans for the future was elicited through questions that probed for intended educational and occupational pathways, ideas about the preferred pathways, comparisons of these plans with parents' wishes, and the advice of friends and counselors. Additional information gathered by the survey includes age, gender, self-reported health status, consumption of cigarettes and alcohol, age at onset of sexual relations, height, weight, urban status of place of birth, type of secondary education, parents' occupations and education, and number of siblings.

This data collection contains a representative portion of the data collected through Project TALENT, a longitudinal survey designed to investigate the personal, educational, and experiential factors that promote or inhibit the development of human talents. Seven specific objectives of this study were: (1) to inventory the pool of available talent for training in science, engineering, and other professional fields, (2) to assess the relationships among aptitudes, interests, and other factors, (3) to determine the extent to which lack of interest or motivation limit the development of individuals' talents, (4) to identify the main factors affecting vocational choice, (5) to identify predictors of creativity and productivity, (6) to assess the effectiveness of various types of educational experience, and (7) to provide a basis for developing procedures for realizing individuals' potential. Extensive data were obtained in 1960 from a sample of 400,000 students in grades 9-12 in the United States. Follow-up surveys were conducted one year, five years, and 11 years after high school graduation. This data collection contains data for a subsample (about 1 percent) of respondents made up of 4,000 of the original 400,000 Project TALENT participants (1,000 men and women from each of the high school classes of 1960-1963), all of whom had responded to the 11-year follow-up survey. Data obtained in the 1960 survey include each individual's cognitive test scores (e.g., language aptitude and ability, mathematics ability, visualization ability, complex intellectual aptitude, and general and specific knowledge), self-descriptive adjectives, occupational and activity interest inventory, family background (e.g., parents' education and occupation, economic status, number of siblings and their educational experience), personal information (health, high school activities, plans, sex, and date of birth), and description of school (e.g., kind, size, urban-rural, percent minority, and retention ratio). The 11-year follow-up data include individuals' post-high school education and work experiences, family development, plans and aspirations, life satisfaction, and decisions regretted. Follow-up personal information includes race, religion, marital status and history, spouses' education, number of children, health (own and parents'), geographical mobility, and military status and experience.

This study is freely available to ICPSR member institutions. Also available as downloadable files. The Alfred P. Sloan Study of Youth and Social Development was designed to gather a holistic picture of the adolescent experience. To understand how young people form ideas about their future, the study considered not only what adolescents' aspirations are, but also how they may be influenced by family, peer groups, schools, and their communities. Data were collected within adolescents' three major social environments: schools, families, and peer groups. The study gathered information from 12 sites over five years, to examining such research questions as: (1) how young people of various ages and family backgrounds differ in their conceptions of work, (2) what learning opportunities families with different economic circumstances provide for their children with respect to work and careers, and (3) how schools influence educational expectations and career formation. Data were collected from focal students using the experience sampling method (ESM), an in-depth interview, and a battery of questionnaires. The questionnaires included: (1) the Teenage Life Questionnaire, a modification of instruments used in the National Educational Longitudinal Study (NELS:1988-94), (2) a Friends Sociometric form, which provided detailed information about the respondents' peer groups and social ties, and (3) the Career Orientation Survey (COS), which measures respondents' knowledge about jobs and occupational expectations. Cohort students were also administered the questionnaires but did not participate in the ESM or in-depth interviews. All instruments were administered to focal students in Years 1, 3, and 5. In addition, in Year 2, in-depth interviews alone were administered to focal students. In years 1, 3, and 5, a separate group of cohort students were administered the questionnaires. Parts 1, 2, 6, 7, 11, and 12 consist of the Teenage Life Questionnaire data. Parts 3, 4, 8, 9, 13, and 14 consist of the Career Orientation Survey data. Parts 5, 10, and 15 consist of the Experience Sampling Method data. The in-depth interview component will be released by ICPSR as restricted data at a later time.
