Summary

This dataset was created primarily for teaching purposes, enabling students to replicate original analyses but also to explore the usefulness of alternative modes of analysis or to test alternative hypotheses. The data were collected from a representative sample of the Swedish electorate at the time of the 1964 Riksdag election in Sweden. Variables ascertained the respondents' voting behavior, party affiliation, and interest in politics. Demographic information includes level of education, occupation, socioeconomic stratum, social mobility, membership in labor unions, and frequency of church attendance, as well as sex, age, and marital status. In order to facilitate the use of the data for instructional purposes, several summary classifications and variables in collapsed versions were included in the dataset.
