This survey focused on factors that influence social change
in the Michigan tri-county area of Oakland, Macomb, and Wayne counties
and the changes that have occurred over time with respect to different
ethnic groups and women. Respondents' opinions were sought on issues
such as job discrimination, including pay and promotion on the basis
of race, ethnicity, or gender, factors that influence employers in
hiring decisions, such as experience in line of work, formal
education, references, looks and appearance, age, race, and gender,
possible reasons for Blacks' having worse jobs, income, and housing
than Whites, and factors that affect this situation, such as racial
discrimination, perceived inferior ability, lack of educational
opportunities, and lack of motivation on the part of Blacks. The
survey also elicited respondents' views on factors influencing
residential segregation, including the lack of affordable housing for
African Americans and other ethnic minorities and the lack of Whites'
acceptance of these ethnic minority groups in White neighborhoods.
Other variables probed respondents' attitudes toward interracial
marriage, segregated and desegregated schools, all-Black male and
all-Black female public schools, nonviolent and violent means of
social change among Blacks, government legislative measures such as
the cut in welfare cost, parental approval for under-age abortion, the
amount of federal taxes paid, and affirmative action for women and
African Americans in job training, education, hiring, and promotion.
Also explored were respondents' feelings about the quality of city and
neighborhood services, public schools, crime, and the desirability of
living in Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb counties and some of the suburbs
around Detroit. Additional variables examined respondents' views on
comparative wealth and intelligence among ethnic groups such as
Asians, Blacks, Hispanics, Arab Americans, and Whites, the degree of
discrimination toward Hispanics, Blacks, Asians, and women, and the
high degree of self-reliance among immigrant groups and nationalities
in the United States as compared to United States minorities such as
African Americans. Questions on the respondents' educational
background covered the level of education and professional
qualifications. Additional information gathered by the survey includes
duration of residence in the tri-county area and at the current
residence, place of previous residence, employment status, place of
employment, mode of transportation to work, income, current debts and
assets, job benefits, previous military service, information on family
and household members, religious denomination, presidential candidate
preference, age, race, ethnicity, skin tone if Black, marital status,
and gender.

This survey focused on the influence of education on
respondents' attitudes toward a variety of issues, including crime,
city services, police protection, neighborhoods, health-care coverage,
taxes, public schools, the North American Free Trade Agreement
(NAFTA), and government involvement in correcting class, gender, and
race disparities. The survey also sought respondents' opinions on
issues such as race relations, discrimination against women, racial
balance in schools, laws against interracial marriages, housing
discrimination law, racial profiling, and voting for a Black
presidential candidate. Respondents were questioned on the comparative
differences between Blacks and Whites in types of jobs held, housing,
and level of income, and why Blacks were worse off than whites, the
effects on property values of Blacks moving into White neighborhoods,
and the high rate of unemployment and crime among Blacks as compared
to Whites. Also explored were respondents' feelings about the death
penalty, immigrants, other races, poor people, minority groups,
affirmative action, homosexuality, television violence, censorship,
and abortion. Questions on the respondents' educational background
covered the types of elementary and secondary schools they attended
and grades earned, level of education and degrees earned, and types of
college(s) attended. Additional information gathered by the survey
includes respondents' duration of residence in the tri-county area and
at the current residence, place of previous residence, employment
status, social class stratification, religious denomination, party
preference, participation in social and political life, and knowledge
of current affairs. Demographic information includes respondents'
gender, age, marital status, race, and ethnicity.

Impacts of Social Proximity to Bias Crime Among Compact of Free Association (COFA)-Migrants in Hawaii, 2017-2018 (ICPSR 37330)
Stotzer, Rebecca L.
Stotzer, Rebecca L.
This study utilized respondent-driven sampling (RDS) among Compact of Free Association (COFA)-migrants in Hawaii to explore the harms of bias crimes on migrant communities. To examine the impacts of bias crimes on communities, the investigators examined the diffusion of negative psychological impacts, community impacts, and perceptions of safety for those who had been direct victims, those in the COFA-migrant community who are close to someone who has been a victim (proximal victim) but are not direct victims, and those who are members of the community but have not been a direct victim or know someone close to them who was a direct victim.
This study also examined the how negative impacts of bias crime ultimately impact the adaption of COFA-migrants who have immigrated in the attempt to build new lives in Hawaii.

New Homes and Poor People, 1966-1967 (ICPSR 7492)
Lansing, John B.; Clifton, Charles Wade; Morgan, James N.
Lansing, John B.; Clifton, Charles Wade; Morgan, James N.
This study focused on the indirect consequences of new
housing construction by examining the sequences of moves triggered by
first-time occupancies of new homes. In particular, the investigation
attempted to ascertain whether the construction of new, relatively
expensive housing might indirectly benefit low-income people or
African Americans who could not afford to purchase these new houses
but would be able to move into vacancies created farther along the
chain. Interviews were first conducted with a representative sample of
first-time inhabitants of newly-built homes, and then with the
families that moved into the dwellings left vacant. Wherever possible,
each chain of moves was followed to its logical
conclusion. Demographic information includes age, sex, and education
of family head, race of respondent, family life cycle, and family
income.

University of Michigan. Survey Research Center. Economic Behavior Program
University of Michigan. Survey Research Center. Economic Behavior Program
The Survey of Consumer Attitudes and Behavior series (also known as the Surveys of Consumers) was undertaken to measure changes in consumer attitudes and expectations, to understand why such changes occur, and to evaluate how they relate to consumer decisions to save, borrow, or make discretionary purchases. The data regularly include the Index of Consumer Sentiment, the Index of Current Economic Conditions, and the Index of Consumer Expectations. Since the 1940s, these surveys have been produced quarterly through 1977 and monthly thereafter.
The surveys conducted in 2001 focused on topics such as evaluations and expectations about personal finances, employment, price changes, and the national business situation. Opinions were collected regarding respondents' appraisals of present market conditions for purchasing houses, automobiles, computers, and other durables. Also explored in this survey, were respondents' types of savings and financial investments, loan use, family income, and retirement planning.
Other topics in this series typically include ownership, lease, and use of automobiles, respondents' use of personal computers at home and in the office, and respondents' familiarity with and use of the Internet. Demographic information includes ethnic origin, sex, age, marital status, and education.
