Summary View help for Summary
This study was conceived as the first wave of a series of surveys of Dutch public opinion. The interviews, containing both open and closed-ended questions, focused on the respondents' political interests, media exposure, and issues of opinion leadership. The respondents' partisan preferences, their political knowledge and efficacy, and their views on a variety of domestic and foreign policy issues were also assessed. An additional section dealt with attitudes toward homosexuals. The demographic variables provide information on the respondents' age, gender, marital status, educational history, occupation, income, and province of residence.

A multistage sampling design was used that combined stratified and cluster sampling. With a preferred total number of respondents of 600 and an expected nonresponse rate of 20 percent, 250 clusters of three interviews each were considered necessary, each cluster containing .4 percent of the population. In the first stage, municipalities were selected by including all those with over 50,000 inhabitants and randomly drawing the others from a pre-established classification of 20 municipality types, according to the number of clusters falling into each group. In the second stage, households were selected from a set of addresses that was itself a sample of the total for that municipality. Finally, within the selected households, respondents were drawn according to a modified systematic random procedure.
