Summary View help for Summary
Sixth in a series of election studies in the Netherlands, this survey was conducted after the parliamentary elections of September 1982. Like its predecessors, it also focuses upon the partisan orientations and political attitudes of the Dutch electorate. Most of the questions are identical to those used in the 1981 survey. The survey was administered to two separate samples: individuals previously interviewed in the three waves of the 1981 election study (Wave 4), and a fresh sample of individuals not previously interviewed. Of the 2,305 respondents in the original 1981 sample, 1,206 were successfully interviewed in all four waves. The fresh sample includes 1,541 respondents. Of the four data files produced by the 1982 election study, two are available from ICPSR and the other two are held by the Steinmetz Archive in Amsterdam. The Combination File (Part 1) includes data for all of the respondents interviewed in 1982 (1,541 from the fresh sample and 1,206 from Wave 4, for a total of 2,747). Included in this file is a filter variable by which the user can separate the fresh sample respondents from Wave 4 respondents. The Overall File (Part 2) adds to the Combination File the 1,099 attrition cases from the original 1981 sample of 2,305, for a total of 3,846. The codebook also provides frequencies for the two files held by the Steinmetz Archive.

ICPSR also routinely creates ready-to-go data files along with setups in the major statistical software formats as well as standard codebooks to accompany the data. In addition to these procedures, ICPSR performed the following processing steps for this data collection:
- Standardized missing values.
- Checked for undocumented or out-of-range codes.
