Released/updated on: 2009-10-29

Geographic coverage: United States

This special topic poll, conducted April 30 to May 6, 1996, is part of a continuing series of monthly surveys that solicit public opinion on the presidency and on a range of other political and social issues. This poll sought Americans' views on the most important problems facing the United States, their local communities and their own families. Respondents rated the public schools, crime, and drug problems at the national and local levels, their level of optimism about their own future and that of the country, and the reasons they felt that way. Respondents were asked whether they were better off financially than their parents were at their age, whether they expected their own children to be better off financially than they were, and whether the American Dream was still possible for most people. Respondents then compared their expectations about life to their actual experiences in areas such as job security, financial earnings, employment benefits, job opportunities, health care benefits, retirement savings, and leisure time. A series of questions asked whether the United States was in a long-term economic and moral decline, whether the country's main problems were caused more by a lack of economic opportunity or a lack of morality, and whether the United States was still the best country in the world. Additional topics covered immigration policy and the extent to which respondents trusted the federal, state, and local governments. Demographic variables included respondents' sex, age, race, education level, marital status, household income, political party affiliation, political philosophy, voter registration and participation history, labor union membership, the presence of children in the household, whether these children attended a public school, and the employment status of respondents and their spouses.

Beginning Teacher Evaluation Study, 1972-1978 (ICPSR 7691)

Released/updated on: 1992-02-16

The California Commission for Teacher Preparation and Licensing sponsored the Beginning Teacher Evaluation Study (BTES) with funds provided by the National Institute of Education (Department of Health, Education and Welfare). The study was a multi-phase project which began in 1972 and was completed in June 1978. The overall purpose of the research program was to identify teaching behaviors which are effective in promoting learning in reading and mathematics in elementary schools. After Phase I, a general planning year (1972-1973), the Commission contracted with the Educational Testing Service (ETS) to conduct Phase II (1973-1974) of the program. During Phase II extensive field work was carried out in order to relate observed classroom behavior to student performance. The results of Phase II were used as one of the starting points for subsequent phases of the program. From 1974-1978 the BTES was conducted by the Far West Laboratory for Educational Research and Development. During those years there were three major data collection periods: Phase III-A (1974-1975), Phase III-A Continuation (1975-1976), and Phase III-B (1976-1977). A machine-readable user's manual and codebook defining the variables on file are available for these three major phases. The overall purpose of Phase III-A was to generate and explore hypotheses about effective teaching behaviors. The researchers empirically identified more and less effective teachers at grades 2 and 5 in reading and mathematics. Data relating to achievement and teacher-allocated time were collected over a period of one year. Phase III-A contains 18 files with approximately 5,500 respondents. During Phase III-A Continuation, field work was carried out to develop and refine instruments for collecting classroom process information in terms of time. Achievement tests were further developed and tested. Phase III-A Continuation includes a total of 32 files with approximately 565 respondents. In Phase III-B the academic learning time (ALT) model of classroom instruction was empirically evaluated in an extensive correlational field study. Academic learning time is an observable measure of ongoing student learning in the classroom. The design of Phase III-B produced four basic sources of data: achievement tests, teacher logs, classroom observation, and teacher interviews and rating scales. Phase III-B contains 57 files with approximately 261 respondents. A listing of technical reports generated from the study is available within the documentation.

These seven datasets are part of an ongoing data collection effort in which The New York Times and CBS News are equal partners. Each survey includes questions about President Ronald Reagan's performance in office, especially with respect to economic and foreign affairs. In addition, each survey provides information on respondents' views concerning other social and political issues, as well as respondents' personal backgrounds. The surveys were conducted in January, April, June, September (twice), and October (twice).

Topics covered in Part 1, January Survey, include Reagan's handling of economic and foreign affairs, various proposals to reduce the federal deficit, unemployment, and Social Security. In Part 2, April Survey, individuals responded to questions about Reagan's handling of economic and foreign affairs, the environment, and defense policy, and were also asked about their willingness to vote for a Black candidate, candidates endorsed by labor unions, and candidates endorsed by homosexual organizations. Two versions of the questionnaire were used, to test alternative question wording. For Part 3, June Survey, questions were asked on Reagan's presidency, possible presidential candidates in 1984, foreign policy, economic policy, merit pay for public school teachers, federal spending on education, and tennis. Part 4, Plane Survey, queried respondents about the Korean passenger plane shot down by the Soviet Union in September 1983, including their opinions on the American response to the attack. The questionnaire also included questions about Reagan's handling of foreign and economic policy. Part 5, September Survey, covered telephone service, United States troops in Lebanon, possible presidential candidates, and President Reagan's handling of economic and foreign policy. Two versions of the questionnaire were used, to test alternative question wording. A question about the cease-fire agreement in Lebanon was included in only one of those versions. Part 6, October (Prespeech) Survey, was conducted before President Reagan gave his speech on Grenada. Respondents were asked their opinions on having United States troops in Grenada and Lebanon, the attack on the Marine barracks in Lebanon, and Reagan's handling of foreign policy. Part 7, October (Postspeech) Survey, was conducted after President Reagan's speech on Grenada and concerned the same issues that were covered in the Prespeech Survey.

Changing Climates of Conflict: A Social Network Experiment in 56 Schools, New Jersey, 2012-2013 (ICPSR 37070)

Released/updated on: 2020-09-14

Geographic coverage: United States, New Jersey

Time period: 2012-01-01--2013-01-01

The data in this collection are social network data drawn from a large-scale field experiment. Theories of human behavior suggest that individuals attend to the behavior of certain people in their community to understand what is socially normative and adjust their own behavior in response. This experiment tested these theories by randomizing an anti-conflict intervention across 56 New Jersey public middle schools, with 24,191 students. After having comprehensively measured every school's social network, randomly selected seed groups of 20-32 students from randomly selected schools were assigned to an intervention that encouraged public stances against conflict at school. The data allowed for comparisons between treatment and control groups, and also provided variables to analyze social networks to examine the impact of social referents.

Surveys were conducted at the start and end of the 2012-2013 school year, the year in which the experiment was conducted. The survey data contains social network variables based on the peers with whom the respondent chooses to spend time. Survey data also include respondents' perceived descriptive and prescriptive norms of conflict at the schools surveyed, as well as administrative data on the schools and demographics of respondents.

The collection includes one dataset, with 482 variables for 24,471 cases. Demographic variables in the collection include gender, grade, age, height, weight, race/ethnicity, language, household characteristics, and demographic variables obtained from school administrative records.
